Fault detection

A number of symptoms and possible causes for engine problems are described in the table below. Always contact
your Volvo Penta dealer if problems occur that you are not able to solve on your own.

WARNING!

Read through the safety instructions for maintenance and service work in the chapter ”Safety in-

formation” before starting to work.
