Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this pulley fits my Volvo Penta engine?
First, check the compatibility table on this page to ensure your specific engine model (e.g., AD41B, TAMD31P) is listed. Second, verify that your current pulley is a double-belt type and corresponds to the OEM part number 841812. Visual comparison with our product photos is also recommended.
What are the signs that my alternator pulley needs replacing?
Common signs of a failing alternator pulley include a persistent squealing or grinding noise from the engine bay, visible wobbling or runout of the pulley while the engine is running, and cracked or worn-out grooves where the V-belts sit.
Are any special tools required for installation?
You will need standard mechanic's tools, a socket set, and a wrench. To remove the old pulley's central nut, an impact wrench is highly effective. Alternatively, you may need a specific pulley holding tool to prevent the alternator shaft from spinning while you loosen the nut with a breaker bar.
