953261 Stud | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta stud for the ground cable to starter connection, weighing 0.018 kg and listed for 36 applications across the MD, TMD, TD, TID, D and TAMD series. The earth path is the point of it: 953045 is the other ground cable stud listed here, and three unrelated studs share this one's 0.018 kg figure, so order by the connection it serves rather than by size.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: MD, TMD, TD, TID, D, TAMD

⚙️ Key Features

• For the ground cable to starter connection
• 0.018 kg
• 36 applications across six engine series
• 953045 is the other ground cable stud in this run
• Quantity varies by assembly, most commonly four

🔌 Function

Provides the threaded post that clamps the earth cable terminal at the starter, carrying the full cranking return current back to the block.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Slow, laboured cranking or a single heavy click with good batteries
• Measurable voltage drop across the earth connection under load
• Corrosion, green deposits or salt build-up at the terminal
• Terminal or cable lug hot to the touch after cranking
• Discoloured or burnt washer faces at the joint

🛠️ Service Notes

• Isolate the batteries before disturbing the starter earth
• Clean both mating faces to bright metal and refit the terminal square — a starter earth fails on resistance long before it looks bad
• Check the main positive path at the same time; a poor earth and a poor feed give identical symptoms

📦 Condition

• Genuine Volvo Penta part
