A good effort by this customer with one of our pump rebuild kits, but treat the video with caution, as the drip at the face of the pump will likely have been caused by a leak from the end cover plate, not the internal water seal. Also note that the internal water seal is pressed onto the shaft after the 'O' ring (which is merely a 'deflector' and hence the old one is re-used). The two lathe cut rubber seals in our kit are for sealing the external pipework to the pump. Finally this engine looks to us to be a Volvo Penta 2003.
Hurumph! Thanks P4A but it was not a cover plate issue. Checked multiple times. I had to put the old seal on as there was no like for like swop. I meant to call you guys as I'm sure you would have talked me through it but has been fine so it slipped down the priority list. You are right about the engine. It is a Vp2003, no "MD". Not getting into a p***ing contest as your knowledge is much appreciated. But cover plate. Come on! X
I'm about to try the same fix and have a new water seal. Will I expect to find the thinner seal and does this go in front or behind the seal. I can't see it on diagrams??
The two "flat" washers are for sealing the pumps infeed and outfeed pipes which are a "press fit". The seal with the incorporated spring should face forward .... There should not be an o ring outside that.
Glad you reinstalled the o-ring as the one you tried first is actually a pipe seal...you'll notice there were 2 of them in the kit. They are for the coolant pipes entering/exiting the impeller pump (and elsewhere in the cooling system). The seals have a slot on the inside diameter that fits over a lip on the end of the copper coolant pipe. For some reason the o-ring is not included in many service kits, it likely doesn't get much abuse.
Interesting. They do look like pipe seals but I could be wrong as the biz owner seemed to know his stuff and was v helpful. Very little signs of wear on the original rubber seal so hopefully will stay off the To Do list for a couple of seasons.
Thanks for the video, I’ve been having a problem like that on my 2002. Where did you source the new stuff? Was it from Volvo Penta or somewhere online?
This guy is misleading - the larger seal he wa sputting in was in fact the new "pushfit" seal for the water piles - clearly he is not knowledgeable enough to be doing this

My appologies - while the 2 seals are likely for the impeller pump pipes, I don't believe they're slotted and useable elsewhere as I first believed.

Thanks, great job
Thank you Sir, your video it's so helpfull. I have same leaking and now I know how to solve... thanks again
Ur welcome
How are the cooling pipes attached to the pump (Threaded?)
Not threaded. Push fit, with a rubber washer to help with the seal. These can be a bit fiddly to reassemble. It is old tech. But it does work!
Great video, thanks.
Glad you liked it!
