Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my Volvo MD11 (D11)?
Yes, it was made for the Volvo MD11 (D11), and 1 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old turbocharger is marked 21953277 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the turbocharger on my Volvo MD11 (D11)?
On the Volvo MD11 (D11), often as long as the engine, 8,000 hours or more, when the oil and air filters are kept on schedule. Most turbos fail early from oil or dirt problems, not age.
What are the signs the turbocharger needs replacing?
Blue or black smoke, a whistle or siren noise, loss of power, oil in the intake or exhaust, or the shaft rubbing the housing.
Is shaft play normal?
A little radial play is normal on journal bearing turbos. Wheels touching the housing, or any noticeable end float, are not.
What should I do before the first start?
Pour clean engine oil into the oil inlet and turn the shaft by hand, then crank the engine with the fuel cut until oil pressure shows. Let it idle for a minute before load.
Is this a genuine Volvo 21953277?
No. It is an aftermarket turbocharger made to replace the Volvo 21953277. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
