85000486 Volvo FMX D13C Water Pump

This water pump serves as a critical component within the engine cooling system, functioning as a centrifugal-type pump to circulate coolant between the engine block and the radiator. By maintaining consistent flow, it prevents overheating and ensures the engine operates within safe thermal limits under heavy-duty workloads.

This specific unit is designed for Volvo FMX models equipped with the D13C engine, including variants such as the 480, 440, and 400. It is also compatible with various Volvo FM series trucks, such as the FM 480, FM 440, FM 380, FM 340, FM 300, FM 400, FM 360, FM 390, and FM 430 models. These components are vital for maintaining the longevity of heavy commercial vehicle drivetrains.

For professional technicians and workshop owners, inspecting the pump during routine belt service is recommended. Key indicators for replacement include coolant leakage from the weep hole or unusual bearing noise. Ensuring proper installation with new gaskets helps prevent pressure loss within the cooling circuit.

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure exact fitment for your specific engine configuration.
