I need to change the antifreeze in a volvo penta KAD32. Manual says its the one without the blue marking. But there is no blue marking on either of mine. So, which one should I remove the end bung from?
Thanks. I've got the manual but couldn't see any mention of what the other pipe is for. If its seawater does that mean the boat will sink if I get it wrong? Half joking as I can hold the pipe above the top of the engine, but slightly concerned.
In a word….no. The seawater pipe goes to the oil cooler and the coolant pipe to the side of the block from memoryThanks.

There is a reason I work in IT, no moving parts!
I'm going with the one that hasn't got green corrosion on it as that hopefully was caused by seawater
Slacken the the sea water strainer lid before draining salt water that will stop a syphon situation.In a word….no. The seawater pipe goes to the oil cooler and the coolant pipe to the side of the block from memory
Be a bit stupid of volvo to fit a boat sinking service pipe![]()
