Not sure you want to have a fire extinguisher inside your engine compartment - if there is a fire you don’t want to open the engine compartment but rather typically spray into it while closed. In addition you don’t want a pressurized cylinder inside the compartment, especially at the top which would be the hottest in the event of a fire. It’s basically a bomb at that point.
Hi, Thats an automatic engine compartment fire extingusher so i do hope it is up to the job of being ok in a hot environment. It also has a manual deply option which was never connected to the power if you spotted some cables from it. We also have fire extigushers outside of the engine bay which can be used in the way you describe.
Hi, very nice video. At 4.00 when taking of the lid, the small brass pipe the lid sits on. How is that pipe attached to the heat exchanger? At our MD 2030 that pipe has come loose.
Hi, thanks for your comments. It’s like a T piece with the coolant and overflow or expansion pipe attached and that sits on a inner part which the outer ring screws on to the heat exchanger. I’ve seen a few people ask on the Facebook/forum posts about that part. The newer ones don’t seem to have the return part. I can try and photograph it on our next visit if that will help
Hello, it’s one of these www.parts4engines.com/volvo-penta-md2030-airfilter I replaced the original as it was ok but had been pushed downwards. Turns out it’s just wire inside, however I think this design it slightly better.
Very useful video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the video I need to do the same on my Bavaria
Thanks, hope it helps.

Thanks for the heart. Do you have an answer to my question?😃

Hi there, what type of air filter do you have on there?
