FAQs
Q1: How do I verify if this HE500WG turbocharger fits my Volvo FH4?
Please check the nameplate on your current turbocharger for the Volvo part number 21989961 or the Holset code 3795222. Since Volvo Euro 6 engines have very specific boost calibrations, matching the 8-digit Volvo OEM number is the most reliable way to ensure a correct fit.
Q2: Is this turbocharger compatible with Euro 6 emission standards?
Yes. This unit is specifically designed to work with the Volvo D13K Euro 6 emission system. It provides the exact airflow metrics required for the SCR and DPF systems to function efficiently without triggering "check engine" lights or performance derates.
Q3: Is any special software calibration needed after installation?
As a direct OEM replacement for the mechanical/pneumatic wastegate version, it is typically a "plug-and-play" installation. However, we always recommend a professional scan tool reset to clear any stored boost-related trouble codes from the old unit.
Q4: What type of warranty do you provide for international logistics fleets?
We understand that Volvo FH trucks are the backbone of European and global logistics, which is why we stand behind our quality with full technical support for fleet owners and professional workshops worldwide.
Q5: Do you provide worldwide shipping? What is the delivery timeframe?
We ship globally via premium carriers like DHL, FedEx, and UPS, as well as sea freight for bulk orders. In-stock items are typically dispatched within 24–48 hours. Express delivery to North America and Europe usually takes 5–7 business days.
