Volvo Penta Information site

[boatone]

Some of the longer term residents of the forum may remember that some years ago I hosted a website specifically for collating information about Volvo Penta Diesel and Petrol engines, outdrives and other accessories.
Due to server difficulties and the pressure of other things it became dormant although I retained all the information in the hope that I might be able to get it working again.
I have made some progress and , although not fully functional - it is not possible to register and add new information for instance - it is now possible to access all the information on file.
Someone is currently helping me to restore full functionality but by all means take a look and see if your engine is part of the database.

And some Volvos are Perkins with a lick of green paint and all sorts of other origins. Quite a lot of data on the Volpen site actually identifies engine origins and suggest OEM spares that will suit as well.

My TMD22B's were originally Perkins blocks used in the Montego ...... so there !

Hoping to get the rest of the broken links sorted next week so that people can continue adding to the database - paradoxically there is no data on my current engines at present

Ah, the Montego used a Perkins Prima, probably the best part of the poor car
