Serial Number Fitment Notice

Volvo Penta fitment can vary by exact engine model, intake housing, production version, and serial number. Always confirm 876185 against your engine serial number or the original filter/parts diagram before ordering.

When This Part Needs Replacement

Replace the air filter insert when it is dirty, oil-soaked, torn, restricted, brittle, misshapen, or during scheduled engine maintenance. A restricted intake filter can reduce airflow and may contribute to poor performance, excess smoke, harder starting, or reduced fuel efficiency.

Installation Notes

Install into the correct Volvo Penta air filter housing and make sure the filter is seated evenly before securing the housing. Inspect the surrounding intake housing, clamps, rubber fittings, and hoses while servicing the filter, especially on older diesel installations where rubber intake parts can harden or crack over time. The filter insert is sold as an individual component, not as a full housing or complete air intake assembly.

Parts Desk Insight

The safe way to match this filter is by part number and engine serial number, not by shape alone. Several Volvo Penta diesel families used similar air filter layouts, but small housing differences can affect fit, so confirming the parts diagram before ordering helps avoid a simple but frustrating mismatch.
