Re: leaking auxiliary water pump
Haynes manual keeps reffering to an elusive cylinder block drain plug "located below the inlet manifold near the oil pressure switch"...? I may have found it! I suspect this is the one: http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t515/JRT480/Fotografia2667_b_zpstokzdmdy.jpg Picture was taken from above wit...

Re: leaking auxiliary water pump
Joao I suspect you will find the old antifreeze in the heater matrix if anywhere. Best and easiest if a bit messy is to flush the whole system through with a hose and cold water then refill with fresh anti freeze. regards jim Jim, I have never gone that far in the procedure. Where should I connect ...

Re: leaking auxiliary water pump
Hope I am not asking a dumb question, but can I activate-test the pump as of now, like this (outside car, no coolant)?
I have a power supply unit of DC 12V (or 13,8V) up to 5 amps/ 7amps peak available, would it just be a matter of making the connections and see if I get response?

Re: leaking auxiliary water pump
Gave a good cleaning outside to pump and to rubber parts, it's looking very nice now: http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t515/JRT480/Fotografia2663_zpsgng7rtxq.jpg http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t515/JRT480/Fotografia2664_zpsqkfmgolg.jpg http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t515/JRT480/Fotograf...

Ok, new ring is in place and cleaned surfaces mate perfectly. http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t515/JRT480/Fotografia2660_zpsse5as8z1.jpg http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t515/JRT480/Fotografia2661_zpsoa3iccs2.jpg http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t515/JRT480/Fotografia2662_zps78cdh0pd.jpg

Re: leaking auxiliary water pump
However, I see some wetness inside the second plastic part: http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t515/JRT480/Fotografia2654_zpsbux2admo.jpg There must be a bearing inside, could it also be a cause for leaking...? :?

Re: leaking auxiliary water pump
On my auxiliary pump the pump comes in 3 parts 2 plastic parts and the motor itself . The three parts are held together by 2 sets of screws so I reckon that there must be an O ring or rubber seal in one of them. It should be easy to take apart and reassemble. :D Yes, same here. http://i1063.photobu...

After realising that some sadistic built the car :evil: I had to remove some parts that were in the way to reach the hoses and the mounting support: http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t515/JRT480/Fotografia2640_zpsdqflyd8v.jpg http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t515/JRT480/Fotografia2641_zpsegglna...

Re: leaking auxiliary water pump
The original pump is very hard to find new, and if you find one, you will pay over 300 €. But it is not a real difficult part to adapt, since it is basically a parking heater pump. I read last week that someone transplanted a pump from a C70 to the 480. It was on the Facebook group, which I find in...

Re: Volvo CR-4025 Information Required
Mine had a paper sticker on top, somewhat faded but I remember clearly that it had Panasonic written on it. I'm afraid you can only get sound from 4 speakers if you connect an amplifier, the radio itself only outputs 2. Yes, the connectors on the back are for an amplifier and equaliser but I have no...
