We can supply all parts for the Volvo Penta, including the range of MD2020 oil filters and fuel filters, crankcase breathers, drive belts and impellers, genuine MD2020 series exhaust elbows, oils and grease. We are also the main Volvo Penta dealer for servicing and technical support.

Volvo Penta MD2020 genuine service parts are made to exacting standards to withstand the harsh saltwater environment in which marine diesel engines operate. If you need help with any technical issue regarding your Volvo Penta MD2020, please call us.

The heat exchanger on any MD2020 should be cleaned every 5 years to prevent overheating. The MD2020 should run on Volvo green coolant. Do not use VCS coolant in an MD2020. Mixing VCS yellow and green coolant can cause gelling and blockages within the cooling system.

The other part to check is the exhaust elbow. As a guide, the exhaust elbow, 861906, should be removed every 5 years, checked for blockages, and replaced every 8 to 10 years, as the outer water jacket of the exhaust can build up with rust and corrosion.
