8170519 Compatible Water Pump Gasket — Volvo

What does a water pump gasket do?

This water pump gasket acts as a vital sealing component within the engine cooling system, preventing coolant leakage at the contact surface between the water pump housing and the engine block. In heavy commercial vehicle engines, maintaining pressure within the cooling circuit is essential to prevent overheating and ensure efficient thermal management.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific gasket is compatible with Volvo NH12 trucks equipped with D12C engines. It is engineered to withstand the continuous thermal cycles and high-pressure environments typical of heavy-duty commercial operations.

Maintenance and installation

When performing maintenance on the cooling system, technicians should inspect the gasket for signs of degradation or leaks. It is recommended to replace the gasket whenever the water pump is serviced or removed to ensure a secure, leak-free seal between the pump and the engine block.

Troubleshooting sealing issues

Consult your authorized distributor.
