944970 Shim | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta shim 1.60 mm thick, weighing 0.002 kg and listed for 175 applications across the AQ, MD, TMD, AD, AQAD and D series. It is the thickest step in a graded family that also holds the 0.05 mm shims 944522 and 944561 and the 0.10 mm shim 944562. Order strictly by measured thickness - the published weights across this family do not follow the thickness steps and will not separate the set.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: AQ, MD, TMD, AD, AQAD, D, BB, TAMD, MS, B, DP, SP, DPX, AQD, MB, KAD, KAMD
