Best quality water pumps for 940 B230FK
Hi to All
My 20 year old water original Volvo water pump (and gasket) was renewed on my car just a couple of years ago but it has failed and is leaking already I was aware at the time that Volvo didn't make this part any more and that the OEM ones were inferior and failed quickly (unfortunately I didn't know I could have had my original one rebuilt but I no longer have it) The one that hasn't lasted five minutes is manufactured by 'First Line' I am looking for a replacement thats going to last more than a couple of years. I have been told that the Euro car parts ones are short lived and I've also read that the Gates ones are short lived Any recommendations please?

Are you sure you can't still get them from Volvo ? I'm sure I got a quote from my local dealer a short while ago
If not Brookhouse might be able to advise Cheers, Mark

Hepa is good, sometimes bad too. Don't know why they fail sometimes. The rubber on the top you should buy only from Volvo. Everything else won't seal and won't last. Good luck,Kay

Bit steep price wise but I seem to remember being quoted well over £70.00 If it lasts 4 x longer it's cheaper

It is cast like the original volvo one.
The cheap pumps with a pressed steel one are the pumps with issues |
