Wacker Neuson 5000160380 Precombustion Chamber

The Wacker Neuson Precombustion Chamber is a genuine OEM component designed for a broad range of Wacker Neuson equipment powered by the Lombardini/Kohler diesel engine, including RD16-90 and RD16-100 tandem rollers, RT56-SC, RT82-SC, RT82-SC2, RTLx-SC3, and RTx-SC2 vibratory trench rollers, CRT48-35L ride-on concrete trowels, LTN6L and LTN6L-V series light towers, DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors, and PT6LT and PT6LS trash pumps. As a genuine Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is sourced directly through authorized channels and manufactured to the same specification as the original component installed at the factory. Confirm your model number against the fitment list before ordering to ensure this precombustion chamber is the correct match for your specific machine configuration.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Combustion Geometry — Manufactured to the exact combustion chamber geometry specified for the Lombardini/Kohler diesel engine, preserving designed compression ratios and ignition characteristics.
• Direct Drop-In Installation — Seats into the cylinder head using the original thread pitch and seat angle, requiring no machining or modification to the head.
• Broad Cross-Family Fitment — Confirmed for RD16 tandem rollers, RT56/RT82/RTLx/RTx trench rollers, CRT48-35L ride-on trowels, LTN6L light towers, DPU plate compactors, and PT6 trash pumps sharing this engine platform.
• Restored Cold-Start Performance — A worn or cracked precombustion chamber causes hard starts, misfires, and excessive white smoke; replacing it restores clean, reliable ignition from cold.
• Fuel Efficiency Protection — Correct chamber shape maintains the intended swirl and fuel atomization pattern, preventing the excess fuel consumption that results from a damaged or eroded chamber.
• Verified OEM Part Number — Supplied under Wacker Neuson part number 5000160380, matching the original service part reference across all listed model families.

A precombustion chamber (also called a swirl chamber or antechamber) is a small cavity in the cylinder head into which fuel is injected before combustion spreads into the main cylinder. In indirect-injection diesel engines, this chamber creates the turbulence needed to mix fuel and air thoroughly, enabling controlled, efficient ignition. When the precombustion chamber cracks, erodes, or seats poorly, combustion becomes uneven — resulting in hard starts, rough running, increased smoke output, and loss of power. Replacing a worn chamber restores correct ignition timing and combustion efficiency, bringing engine performance back to specification.
