Group 25 Intake and exhaust system Design and function General Turbocharger The engines are equipped with an exhaust driven tur- bocharger (TC) which supplies the engine with over- pressured air. This increases the oxygen flow to the motor and more fuel can be combusted at the same time as combus- tion is more efficient.
Design and function Boost pressure control (BPC) valve The boost pressure control (BPC) valve has the task of preventing the turbocharger (TC) from over-revving at high engine speeds. The valve is controlled by a pressure regulator with a sprung diaphragm which is affected by the boost pressure via a hose from the compressor housing.
Repair Instructions Removing turbocharger Installing turbocharger If the turbocharger unit is to function satisfactorily, it NOTE!

Then remedy any faults tained and that the correct type of lubricating oil be before installing the new turbocharger (TC).

Repair Instructions Checking boost pressure Special tools: 999 6065, 999 6666, 999 8491 If the engine is particularly weak or if the exhaust is very smoky the turbocharger function can be suspect. Because of this boost pressure should always be checked before replacing the turbocharger.

Group 26 Cooling system Design and function red to the seawater before the coolant is returned to the General coolant pump. The engines are liquid cooled and equipped with a clo- Large amounts of heat are also removed by the lubrica- sed cooling system.
Design and function Keel cooling Heat exchanger and charge air cooler (CAC) The keel cooling system of the TAMD73 consists of two separate, closed freshwater systems with cooling TAMD73 is equipped with a heat exchanger and a loops which cool the engine by contact with the sea charge air cooler (CAC).
Design and function Coolant pump The coolant pump is mounted on the front edge of the cylinder block and is driven via the crankshaft using a drive belt. The pump is carried on double roller bearing (1) and equipped with a seal (2) which effectively prevents coolant from leaking.
Design and function Thermostat The engines have a piston thermostat which has a bulb filled with wax. When the engine is cold the ther- mostat keep the route to the heat exchanger comple- tely closed. The coolant is routed into a by-pass line directly back to the engine.
When the engine is used in an area with a warm cli- mate, where there is never a risk of freezing, the engi- ne coolant can be mixed with Volvo Penta anti corro- sion agent (P/N 1141526-2) in those cases where wa- ter/antifreeze mix is not used all year round.
Repair Instructions Draining coolant NOTE! Before draining the coolant, the engine should be stopped, the filler cap unscrewed and the boat’s sea cock closed. Then open the drain cocks or remove the drain plugs of the engine’s freshwater and seawater systems. F = Freshwater drain cock/ -plug S = Sea water drain cock/ -plug V = Venting cock...
Repair Instructions Cleaning the cooling system Fill with coolant* to 5 cm (2") beneath the sealing sur- face of the filler cap or to between the MIN and MAX WARNING! Close sea cock before working on marks on the separate plastic expansion tank (acces- cooling system.
Open the sea cock and check for leaks. Volvo Penta offers two types of seawater filter. One is a smaller filter with a transparent perspex co- ver, and the other is larger and has a metal cover.

Repair Instructions Zinc anodes, checking / Replace the anode if more than 50% of it has been replacing consumed. Otherwise clean the anode with an emery cloth to remove the oxide layer. NOTE! Close the sea cock and drain the water from the seawater system.
Repair Instructions Coolant pump, replacement Remove the coolant pump mounting screws and lift the coolant pump off. NOTE! Close the sea cock and drain the water from the seawater system. Clean all surfaces. Install a new sealing ring between the coolant pump and the timing cover.

Repair Instructions Reconditioning coolant pump Remove the snap ring from the shaft journal and pull off the bearing with a claw puller. Removed pump Special tools: 999 2265, 999 2679 Dismantling Place the pump housing in a press and press out the shaft and impeller at the same time.
Repair Instructions Replacing the seawater pump Replacing seawater pump impeller NOTE! Close the sea cock and drain the water from the seawater system. NOTE! Close the sea cock and drain the water from the seawater system. Remove the cooling water pipes to and from the oil cooler.
Repair Instructions Reconditioning seawater pump Removed pump Special tools: 9992457, 9994034. Fasten the pump in a vise with soft jaws. Remove the cam by slackening off the screw. Rem- ove the sealing compound on the cam and in the pump housing. Remove the wear washer from the pump.

Repair Instructions Install the small snap ring. Press into place using drift 9994034. Install the wear washer. Ensure that the guide pin in the housing aligns with the washer cut out. Install the ceramic part of the seal. NOTE! Apply some plastic film from a carrier bag to the ceramic to protect it from grease.
Repair Instructions Replacing thermostat Locate the new or checked and approved thermostat Special tools: 9996863 in the housing and install the cover. Use new sealing rings. Drain the necessary amount of coolant. Install the fuel filter. Open the fuel cocks and if neces- sary vent the fuel system according to the instruc- tions in Workshop Manual “Group 23 Fuel system”...
Repair Instructions Thermostat, function test A function test should be carried out before the ther- mostat is replaced. Check that the thermostat is completely closed. Hold the thermostat to the light and check that no air column is visible at the separation point. If the thermostat does not close completely it should be replaced.
