Volvo Penta TAD1241VE, TWD1240VE, TAD1250VE, TAD1251VE, TAD1252VE 2006 Parts Catalog

Volvo Penta TAD1241VE, TWD1240VE, TAD1250VE, TAD1251VE, TAD1252VE 2006 Parts Catalog — this is the factory document you need when ordering parts. I’ve seen too many guys waste a Saturday because they ordered the wrong compressor O-ring. Aftermarket catalogs don’t show the right part numbers for these engines. This one gives you 472 pages of what you actually need. No cross-referencing junk from a third-party site. You get exploded diagrams and the exact part numbers Volvo Penta stamped on the box.

Page 90 holds the AC compressor parts list. That’s where you’ll find part number 3803661 for the compressor (exchange unit), the correct O-rings (20443761 and 20443759), and the drive belt for alternator 55A/80A or 140A. The manual spells out which belt fits which alternator. No more buying the wrong length.

The OCR excerpt from the manual shows reference numbers 1 through 11, each with a part number, quantity, description, and notes. For the TAD1250VE, TAD1251VE, TAD1252VE, the compressor assembly includes the bracket (965553) and strip clamp (948211). The flange screws are listed as 946173. If you need the accelerator pedal assembly, that’s group 27 on page 27.

AC Compressor Parts Breakdown (Page 90)

You get the exploded view and the table: REF 1 = 3803661 Compressor, exch (8191892). REF 2 = Pipe connection I.D=15mm (3962722). REF 3 = Pipe connection I.D=11mm (3980417). REF 4 = Flange screw (946173). REF 5 = O-ring 20443761. REF 6 = O-ring 20443759. REF 7 = Insulator 1307035. REF 8 = Screw 965184. REF 9 = Drive belt — different part numbers for 55A/80A and 140A alternators. REF 10 = Bracket 965553. REF 11 = Strip clamp 948211 with quantity marked X (verify by engine serial).

Accelerator Pedal Assembly (Page 27)

For the accelerator pedal, page 27. The drawing shows two parts — pedal and bracket. Part numbers are in the table. This is the kind of detail that keeps you from having to fabricate your own bracket because you got a generic part.

Why OEM Catalog Beats Aftermarket

Aftermarket parts catalogs often compress multiple model years into one ambiguous table, leaving you to guess which O-ring fits your TAD1250VE versus a TAD1251VE. This Volvo Penta catalog is model-specific and year-specific — 2006. The diagrams are drawn from factory CAD files. The part numbers are the same ones the dealer punches into the system. If you see a “X” in the QTY column (like for strip clamp item 11), that indicates usage varies — you should verify against your engine serial number. The manual expects you to do that. It also lists supersession information where applicable, so you know if part 3803661 replaces an earlier compressor. That level of detail is what keeps a job from turning into a nightmare.

472 Pages of Factory Data

This catalog covers every engine system: cooling, fuel injection, air intake, electrical, and more. The page count alone tells you the depth. You get the exploded views for each group. The PDF bookmarks let you jump to, say, group 90 for AC or group 27 for accelerator. If you’re rebuilding a TAD1241VE or TWD1240VE, you want this on the tablet next to the engine stand.

Get the Right Part Number Every Time

Your time is worth more than the cost of a catalog. One wrong O-ring can leak coolant and overheat the engine. The manual includes notes like “I.D=15mm” for pipe connections. That’s the kind of spec aftermarket catalogs omit. You get the internal diameter, the correct screw length, and the drive belt dimensions. Use it.

If you need repair procedures like timing and injection, get the Volvo Penta TAD1240/1241/1242 Workshop Manual. An additional parts catalog covering TAD1241VE and TAD1242VE: Volvo Penta TAD1241VE TAD1242VE TWD1240VE Parts Catalog OEM.

How are parts organized in the catalog?

The catalog is organized by functional group numbers (e.g., 90 for AC compressor, 27 for accelerator pedal). Each group contains an exploded diagram with numbered callouts, then a table listing each part number, quantity, description, and notes. Notes can include alternator amperage (e.g., 80A vs 140A) or pipe internal diameter. The PDF includes bookmarks for quick navigation. For items with quantity “X”, you must verify usage based on engine serial number. This level of detail is why OEM catalogs are superior to aftermarket condensed versions.

That kind of detail separates OEM from aftermarket. Don’t rely on guesswork. Access the Factory Manual for the TAD1241VE, TWD1240VE, TAD1250VE, TAD1251VE, TAD1252VE parts catalog and start ordering the right parts today.
