60115165 Plug | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Plug supplied as a genuine Volvo Penta part, listed at approximately 0.018 kg, so a small plug rather than a large casting or drain plug. Clean the threads and the seating face before fitting and make sure the opening is clear of old sealant and swarf. Renew the sealing washer or O-ring if one is fitted rather than reusing a flattened one, and use thread sealant only where the workshop manual for your engine calls for it.

⚙️ Key Features

🔌 Function

Plugs a drilled or cast opening in the engine to seal an oil, fuel or coolant passage against leakage.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Weeping, seepage or a wet, dirty patch below the plug that returns after wiping
• Oil, fuel or coolant dripping from the plug itself rather than from the joint nearby
• Coolant or oil loss with no other visible source, pointing to a corroded plug in a casting wall
• Rounded, chewed or split hex, or a plug that will not hold torque because the thread has pulled
• Plug found loose or backing out, often with a trace of fluid dried around it

🛠️ Service Notes

• Clean the threads and the seating face before fitting, and make sure the opening itself is clear of old sealant, swarf and corrosion
• Renew the sealing washer or O-ring where one is fitted rather than reusing a flattened one, and only use thread sealant where the workshop manual for your engine calls for it
• Tighten to the figure given in the workshop manual for your engine — plugs in aluminium and other soft castings strip easily, and a plug pulled up hard to cure a leak usually distorts the seat and makes it worse
• Where the plug closes an oil, fuel or coolant passage, run the engine up to temperature afterwards and check the joint under pressure before signing the job off
• Keep removed plugs paired with the holes they came out of during a strip-down — plugs of very similar appearance often differ in thread, reach or sealing type
