The MD2040B diesel was made between 1995 and 1998.
We can supply all parts for the Volvo Penta MD2040-B range, including MD2040-B spare parts, oil filters and fuel filters, crankcase breathers, drive belts and impellers, genuine MD2040-B series exhaust elbows, oils and grease. We are also the main Volvo Penta dealer for servicing and technical support for Cornwall.
Volvo Penta MD2040-B 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 MD2040-B, please call us.
The heat exchanger on any MD2040-B should be cleaned every 5 years to prevent overheating. The MD2040-B should run on Volvo green coolant. 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 few 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.
