I don't get it??

You come here and ask a question.

Experienced Volvo owners reply with information.

Then you say - no thanks - I know better.

There are 2 situations where a water pump will leak.

1 - the inner seals are shot or going.

2 - either the pump is loose, or the gasket b/w the pump and block is damaged.

Neither is normal!!!

I have had Volvo's (and nothing but) for 15 years.

The water pump will trickle at the beginning - cold weather will sometimes be the catalyst.

This is a grace period. The next thing that happens (don't know when) is the seal FAILS and you lose all your coolant and overheat the block.

GO to and order a water pump and kit.

Install it or have it installed. Total price with laborwill be less than $150.


Much less than a engine costs.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't....


good luck
