Help! Parts for Volvo penta MD21B

[BrianReynolds]

Does anyone have a fresh water pump for an old VP 21B as fitted to a 1982 Hallberg Rassy 42? I think the engine was basically a marinised Peugeot diesel -?from the old 405 car.

I am having trouble trying to find a replacemnent for mine.

I believe that there is a company in the midlands that may be able to help
It's with doing a search on the forum a I am sure the details are on here.

I think it's the rarity of these pumps that make these engines obsolete. However, I belieive the engine is a Peugeot XDP4/90 so maybe try to source a pump from peugeot.

This problem has been raised before, and apparently it's easy to get the pump reconditioned. One firm recommended was SP Water Pumps.

There are still some rebuild parts available from marinepartseurope, at a price:

Sadly the VP fresh water/circulation pump and the Indenor-Peugeot one are two completely different beasts, albeit they do fit the same engine:

Rebuild looks like the only option.

No help to you, I know, but I also had the water pump fail on my 1981 HR94, VP MD17C (also Peugeot-based) this year and a replacement was unavailable. The very competent and knowledgeable mechanic here in Italy said they are no longer produced and only a reconditioned one could be obtained, which he sourced locally and fitted for me.

I've heard before that Volvo Penta stop making spare parts long before the engine's natural life-span.
