9998678 Gauge rod | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta special tool 9998678, listed at 0.962 kg and catalogued here as a dial indicator. Volvo's own special tools catalogue designates it a gauge rod — a fixed measuring rod rather than a dial gauge — and publishes its applications: thirty-two in all, D8A1-A MP and D8A4-A, the MDE 5/8 units and the TAD550GE to TAD873VE industrial range. Magnetic stand 9999696 is also listed in our range at 1.701 kg.

⚙️ Key Features

• 0.962 kg
• Designated a gauge rod in Volvo's special tools catalogue, where our listing names it a dial indicator
• Published for thirty-two applications across D8, MDE 5/8 and the TAD550-TAD873 industrial range
• Magnetic stand 9999696 also listed in our range at 1.701 kg

🔌 Function

Gives a fixed reference length so a depth, height or protrusion can be checked against the figure the procedure specifies rather than judged by eye.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Measuring end worn, bruised or picked up
• Rod bent or bowed, so the reference length no longer holds
• Corrosion or pitting on the measuring faces
• Markings worn away or unreadable
• Checks failing to repeat over the same feature

🛠️ Service Notes

• Our listing calls this a dial indicator and Volvo's own entry calls it a gauge rod — confirm which the procedure needs before ordering
• Keep the measuring end clean and undamaged; a bruised end shifts every check made with it by the same amount

📦 Condition

• Genuine Volvo Penta part
• Brand new
• Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
