Serial Number Fitment Notice
Volvo Penta fitment can vary by engine version, drive model, and production break. Confirm part number 852879 against your engine or drive serial number before ordering to ensure the correct plug for your exact application. Volvo Penta’s engine identification tools and parts support are designed for that confirmation step.

When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this plug when the original part is damaged, leaking, corroded, seized, or removed during repair and no longer provides a dependable seal. It is also worth replacing when servicing adjacent components if the original plug shows wear or thread damage.

Installation Notes
Install only after confirming the correct application by serial number. Inspect the mating surface and threads before installation, and follow Volvo Penta service procedures and torque specifications for the specific engine or drive model being serviced. Volvo Penta recommends using the correct genuine parts and model-specific service information for reliable fit and sealing.

Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers

Parts Desk Insight
For small genuine plugs like this, the main risk is not the part itself but ordering by model name alone. Volvo Penta reused many similar-looking service parts across different engines and drives, so serial-number verification is the safest way to avoid downtime and repeat orders. Volvo Penta also emphasizes genuine parts for proper compatibility with surrounding components.
