85000486 Volvo FM13 D13A Water Pump

What does a water pump do?

This water pump serves as a critical component within the engine cooling system, responsible for circulating coolant between the engine block and the radiator. By maintaining a continuous flow, it ensures the engine operates at its ideal temperature, even under high-load conditions typical for heavy commercial vehicles.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This component is specifically designed for use in Volvo FM series trucks, including models such as the FM 480, FM 440, FM 380, FM 340, and FM 300. It is also compatible with various other configurations like the FM 400, FM 360, FM 390, and FM 430, particularly those equipped with the Volvo FM13 D13A engine.

Installation and maintenance

To ensure proper performance and longevity, technicians should inspect the pump during routine belt services. When replacing this component, it is recommended to check the condition of the drive belts and seals to prevent future overheating or leaks caused by uneven seating or bearing wear.

Troubleshooting guidance

Monitoring for symptoms such as coolant leaks from the weep hole or unusual mechanical noise can help identify potential issues before they lead to engine damage. Consult your authorized distributor.
