9998666 Service Tool - Connecting Plate (9998666) | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta special tool 9998666, listed at 5.491 kg. Our records call it a connecting plate, which never sat well with the weight; Volvo's own special tools catalogue settles it as an adapter, and publishes its applications for the first time: thirty-six engines across the D9 and D11 ranges, with no D13 model listed. It supersedes 9809697, which was catalogued earlier as a cover.

⚙️ Key Features

• 5.491 kg
• Designated an adapter in Volvo's special tools catalogue, not a washer
• Published for thirty-six engines in the D9 and D11 ranges, with no D13 model listed
• Supersedes 9809697, catalogued earlier as a cover

🔌 Function

Couples the service tool to the component, matching one mounting face, thread or spigot to another so the load passes through squarely.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Mounting or spigot faces bruised, scored or picked up
• Threads stripped, crossed or pulled
• Distortion or a bow after being loaded off centre
• Cracks running from a bolt hole or a change of section

🛠️ Service Notes

• Supersedes 9809697, so the old cover number now brings this adapter; check what arrives against what the job needs
• At 5.491 kg it is a two-hand lift rather than a shelf item — plan where it is going before picking it up
