972092 Six Point Socket Screw | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta six point socket screw weighing 0.007 kg, recorded against 109 applications across D, AQ, TD, TWD, TID and TMD series engines. It supersedes part number 945970, which was catalogued earlier as a hexagon screw, so the head drive has changed from a spanner hexagon to a six point socket and the original tool will no longer fit.

⚙️ Key Features

• 0.007 kg
• Six point socket drive
• 109 applications across D, AQ, TD, TWD, TID and TMD series
• Supersedes 945970, catalogued earlier as a hexagon screw

🔌 Function

Clamps two components together, the six point socket in its head letting it be driven in a recess or anywhere a spanner cannot swing.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Socket in the head rounded out so a key no longer bites
• Head sheared off during tightening or removal
• Thread stripped, galled or picked up in the tapped hole
• Corrosion or paint packing the socket so the key will not seat
• Joint working loose or weeping around the fastener

🛠️ Service Notes

• Where this replaces 945970 the head has changed, so carry a hexagon key rather than a spanner for the job
• Clean the socket out fully before applying a key, as a partly seated key is what rounds the head
