Volvo AD31P Impeller destroyed

[Flybrain]

Hi

Today my 3 month old impeller disintegrated while I was motoring, Volvo AD31P.

I found bits of it in the strainer basket but maybe not all of it. I looked in the heat exchanger and couldn’t find any bits in there. I back flushed the hose that attaches to the oil cooler and no bits were in there.

Where else should I check?

I fitted a new impeller and it seems to be keeping a good temperature but I don’t want to be caught out my a blockage in the future.

Thanks

Oh dear, assume your strainer is after the pump? then you are lucky that the strainer is the only place to look. Hope you can find out why it disintegrated and/or why it ran dry.

Keep checking the strainer basket for bits
