20713954 Volvo FM12 Water Pump

What does a water pump do?

A water pump is a critical component of the engine cooling system that continuously circulates coolant between the engine block, cylinder head, and radiator. This centrifugal-type pump ensures that heat is effectively managed, preventing engine overheating during heavy-duty operations.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific model is designed for Volvo FM12 trucks, including variants such as the FM 12/460, FM 12/380, FM 12/340, and FM 12/420. It is fully compatible with the D12C engine series, providing a precise fit for these heavy commercial vehicle applications.

Installation and maintenance

To ensure optimal performance, technicians should inspect the pump for signs of coolant leakage from the weep hole or unusual bearing noise during routine maintenance. When replacing the unit, it is recommended to inspect the drive belts and gaskets to maintain system integrity and prevent future failures.

Troubleshooting guidance

Maintaining a steady flow of coolant is vital for protecting engine components from thermal stress. Selecting high-strength components ensures long-term reliability in demanding environments. Consult your authorized distributor.
