858488 Air Filter Insert | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Air filter insert weighing 0.408 kg, listed as the element for the metal filter housing on the MD31, TMD31, TAMD31, AQAD31 and KAD32 and on the TMD41, TAMD41, AQD41 and AQAD41. The plastic filter housing on those same engines takes element 21646645 at 0.318 kg, so the housing material, not the engine designation, is what decides the order. It is the replaceable element rather than the housing itself and is listed for 44 applications.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: TAMD, AD, D, TMD, HS, MD

🔌 Function

Traps dust and salt from the induction air before it reaches the turbocharger and cylinders.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Power falling away and smoke under load
• Element visibly clogged, oily or collapsed
• Media damp, swollen or perished
• Sealing rim distorted so air bypasses the element
• Dust tracks visible on the clean side of the housing

🛠️ Service Notes

• Look at the housing before ordering, because both elements are listed against the same engines and only the housing separates them
• Renew rather than wash or blow through, since cleaning damages the media and lets dust past
• Always refer to the operator's manual for the recommended maintenance and service intervals for your engine and drive
• Listed against more than one engine or drive family - check the qualifier that applies to your own engine or drive
