I have been trying to press this point on here for years , the volvo pumps don't give little trouble they give NO trouble , and that is very unwise to use any other pump . many perfectly good volvo water pumps have been changed for no reason based on old wives tales and hearsay .
Let that be a practical lesson which proves that my 45 years volvo experience at the highest professional level actually means something on this forum !

The previous owner must have done it at some stage. Its making me wonder about my S80 though! I've had the timing belt, aux belts & tensioner replaced & didn't bother with the water pump because I was told not to by the independent Volvo garage that done the work. How do I know if mine has a genuine Volvo water pump though? Does it have some kind of visible code or Volvo stamp on it as an example? Presumably, there's no easy way to see it either without having to take the wheel arch lining etc off.
