    VP Outdrive Oil | Topping up

    Scott and Horigan, Thanks for your useful advice. I'll leave it where it is then, but for future ref knowing that topping up on the dipstick is possible. Thanks

    VP Outdrive Oil | Topping up

    Hi all, VP 3.0, outdrive SX-M. Just serviced the outdrive, filling from the bottom up, with the vent screen unplugged. On the oil weeping out the vent screw I buttoned everything up, then went to check oil level on the dipstick and it's showing half full? I thought when it hit the vent screw...

    New VP Rigid Bellows Slip off?

    Tightened up and holding, just so worried on trimming the drive at anchor they will slip off. Can water get past the driveshaft on a volvo penta sx drive and potentially sink the boat?

    Thank you both Horigan and MVN this is so so helpful! This is much higher than originally thought, think I'm around the 80 Nm mark at the moment - will get these done up tight. Thanks again guys!

    New VP Rigid Bellows Slip off?

    Thanks Brichi - I've clamped down more than the specified torque, seems to be holding, it just feels more reluctant for the pivot housing to trim up. Feels harder to push up than previously.

    New VP Rigid Bellows Slip off?

    Hi all, Replacing the bellows at the weekend, from the older VP style flexible/pliable rubber to new VP OEM rigid type. I understand they updated their design some years back now, however when applying them and on tilting the pivot housing upward they slipped off. They were correctly seated...

    Volvo Penta | Holley Carb Leak - Fuel Line Connection

    Thanks Scott. I'm not certain the 3.0 VP engine has a fuel/water separation filter elsewhere, I haven't come across this. I could be wrong. Thanks

    Volvo Penta | Holley Carb Leak - Fuel Line Connection

    Hi all, Finally with the boat this weekend, the flare looked quite good: The inlet to the carb looked fine too: btw which way up does this fuel filter sit? I looked at countless diagrams and not one showed it in detail. I put this back together with with the filter flipped into the inlet...

    2003 Fourwinns 180 freedom 3.0 sx outdrive.

    Ron - two bolts on the sensor, take them out, sensor will pop out with some effort, be careful not to break the plastic shroud. Check the wiring, it's unlikely damaged, water probably got in somewhere, purchase a new one and feed the wiring up through the transom using the old wiring (taped...

    Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP Stalling when reducing from high RPM.

    dubs283 - reason I mentioned carb rebuild is that I've had this exact issue before on a 3.0 GSP-C VP engine, the rebuild worked.

    Volvo Penta 3.0 | Belt is not centered on pulley | Thoughts?

    Is that grease, hard to tell? Think it might be a washer. Thanks for your thoughts - this was only a 5-minute start-up on putting everything back together, so might have got that wrong. Thanks

    Volvo Penta | Holley Carb Leak - Fuel Line Connection

    Woah, great find Scott - I'm in the UK so parts like this are more difficult to source. Is there any thoughts to cutting the end off the fuel line, using a flaring tool with a new nut over buying a new fuel line etc. The question is, does anyone know the size of the nut required and which type...

    Volvo Penta 3.0 | Belt is not centered on pulley | Thoughts?

    I think what's happened is I've put the washer in front of the bolt and it should be behind? Hopefully that should bring this out by 2-3mm possible. This would make sense as there is a bearing inside the pulley, I hope... Thanks

    Volvo Penta | Holley Carb Leak - Fuel Line Connection

    Thanks guys - yeah it was already butchered so not a lot I can do there. I'll check the flare and inside the inlet of the carb - much appreciated for the help - likely another £50 spent with volvo. Cheers
