22306613 Connecting Rod & Piston for Volvo VNL D13

What does a compressor connecting rod and piston do?

This compressor connecting rod and piston assembly plays a critical role in the internal reciprocating motion of the air brake compressor. By converting linear motion into high-pressure air, these components ensure the pneumatic system maintains the necessary pressure for braking operations. The assembly is manufactured using heavy-duty grade materials to withstand high-frequency mechanical stress.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific component is designed for Volvo VNL trucks equipped with D13 engines. It serves as a direct replacement for worn or damaged internal parts within the compressor assembly, ensuring seamless integration with the existing engine setup. This part is compatible with Volvo systems.

Installation and maintenance

During installation, technicians should verify the clearance of the connecting rod and the condition of the piston pin. It is highly recommended to inspect the cylinder liner and piston rings simultaneously during an overhaul to ensure long-term air-tight integration and prevent premature wear of new components.

Troubleshooting guidance

When troubleshooting air pressure drops, inspecting the internal piston and rod assembly is a vital step in identifying mechanical failures within the compressor unit.

OE cross-reference

8000 850 005 (Compressor Connecting Rod & Piston) is the equivalent of the Volvo OE number. This part directly replaces Volvo OE number 22306613.
