Volvo Penta smoke/steam problems

[Jamie Dundee]

When you say refurbish the original do you mean send it away for the inner surface to be re-polished

Yes, full job. Shaft, seals, bearings etc. Thought I’d give these people a try.

This wont answer your question as to why but may take the sting out of the problem

SP Water Pumps - engine water pumps for all makes and models

I believe you have the same pump as my KAD42. A complete overhaul which included a spray job for 85 quid. This included a new shaft and bearings etc. and a 1 day turn around. Quality of work is outstanding as is materials used. They even returned it with a new gasket and new mounting bolts. Who knows, probably last longer than the original if thats what you've been buying
