Serial Number Fitment Notice
Confirm 21960479 / 23959585 against the engine model and serial number before ordering. Volvo Penta cooling-system configurations can vary by engine version and production range — exact serial-number verification is recommended.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace the coolant pump if there is confirmed coolant leakage, excessive shaft or bearing play, abnormal pump noise, physical damage, or reduced coolant circulation. Overheating should be diagnosed carefully — thermostats, coolant condition, restrictions, and other cooling-system components can cause similar symptoms.
Installation Notes
Drain the cooling system before removal and keep all mating surfaces clean during installation. Inspect nearby hoses, seals, drive components, and coolant condition while the pump is accessible. Follow Volvo Penta tightening procedures and refill the system with the correct coolant before checking for leaks and proper circulation.
