🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta starter motor from the Starting System group, weighing 3.130 kg and listed for 68 applications across the D, MS and B ranges. It consolidates five earlier numbers — 3803242, 859553, 872241, 872887 and 872888 — one of which was catalogued as a remanufactured starter motor, so this single number now covers what used to be several listings.

⚙️ Key Features

  • Starting System group starter motor
  • 3.130 kg
  • Listed for 68 applications
  • Covers D, MS and B engines
  • Replaces 3803242, 859553, 872241, 872887 and 872888
  • Also supersedes Volvo part numbers 3803078, 3803144, 3803145, 3803216 and 840808

🔌 Function

Cranks the engine by engaging its pinion with the flywheel ring gear and turning it fast enough to fire.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • A single heavy click and no rotation when the key is turned
  • Starter spinning without engaging the flywheel
  • Slow, laboured cranking with a good battery fitted
  • Grinding or screeching as the pinion meets the ring gear
  • Smell of hot insulation or smoke from the starter after a long crank

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Check battery state, earth strap and main cable volt drop before condemning the starter — most slow-crank complaints are cable or battery faults
  • Inspect the flywheel ring gear teeth while the starter is out and renew the ring gear if the teeth are chewed
  • Clean the mounting face so the new starter earths properly through it
