Volvo Penta Heat Shield – 24683976
Part Information
- Part Number: 24683976
- Brand: Volvo Penta
- Official Product Type: Heat Shield / Insulating Housing
- OEM Status: Genuine Volvo Penta
- Construction: Formed steel insulating housing
- System: Engine Thermal Protection
- Weight: Approx. 1.0 kg (2.2 lb)
What This Part Does
The 24683976 is a genuine Volvo Penta OEM heat shield — a formed steel insulating housing designed to provide a thermal barrier around a high-temperature engine component. Its purpose is to reduce radiant heat exposure to nearby hoses, wiring, covers, and surrounding engine-bay components in the specific Volvo Penta application where this part number is specified.
A damaged or missing heat shield can allow significantly more radiant heat into surrounding engine-compartment areas, accelerating wear on nearby heat-sensitive parts. If 24683976 is shown in the engine diagram for your application, keeping the correct shield in place is part of maintaining the engine-bay thermal management as designed.
Compatible Applications
- Specific Volvo Penta engine applications where factory parts documentation calls for part number 24683976
Confirm fitment using your exact engine model, serial number, and the applicable Volvo Penta engine or exhaust system parts diagram. Do not match this heat shield by appearance alone — shields can differ in shape, contour, mounting-hole locations, clearance dimensions, and insulation configuration. The most reliable fitment check is confirming 24683976 at the correct position in your specific engine diagram.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Use your engine serial number to locate the correct Volvo Penta engine assembly diagram and confirm that 24683976 is specified at the heat-shield location for your application before ordering.
When to Replace
- Shield is cracked, bent, or badly distorted
- Insulating material has deteriorated or separated from the housing
- Corrosion has weakened the mounting points or brackets
- Shield is missing after engine or exhaust-system service
- Mounting holes or brackets are damaged and will not secure correctly
- Heat exposure has begun affecting nearby wiring, hoses, or engine-bay components
Installation Notes
Allow the engine and all exhaust components to cool completely before beginning heat-shield service. Inspect the mounting bolts and brackets, adjacent exhaust components, nearby wiring and hoses, insulation surfaces, and clearance around the shield before and during installation. Install the replacement in the same orientation shown in the Volvo Penta parts diagram. Confirm the shield does not contact moving components, hoses, wiring, or other surfaces that could cause vibration or abrasion during operation.
Technical FAQ
Q: Can I match this shield by size or shape from another engine?
A: No. Heat shields are highly application-specific in mounting-hole location, contour, and clearance. The only reliable match is confirming 24683976 in the Volvo Penta parts diagram for your specific engine model and serial number.
Q: Is this shield required for the engine to run?
A: The engine will run without it, but the shield is there to protect heat-sensitive components nearby — wiring, hoses, and covers that can be damaged by sustained radiant heat exposure over time. If it is specified in the diagram, keeping it in place is important for long-term component reliability.
Q: Is 24683976 the same as manufacturing reference 70-24627-80?
A: The 70-24627-80 reference is associated with production records for this part, not an OEM Volvo Penta supersession. Order using Volvo Penta part number 24683976.

Parts Desk Insights
Heat shields come up most often after an engine-out service or exhaust work where the original shield was damaged during removal or simply set aside and not reinstalled. They’re easy to overlook because the engine runs the same without one in the short term — but over time, unshielded radiant heat accelerates wiring insulation breakdown and hose deterioration in the surrounding area. If 24683976 is on the diagram for a customer’s engine, it’s worth including on the parts order before reassembly rather than sourcing it later for a separate repair.
