Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this gasket will fit my engine?
This gasket is specifically designed for the Volvo Penta engines listed in the compatibility table, including models AQ165A, AQ170A/B/C, and BB165A, BB170A/B/C. Always verify your engine model against our list before purchasing.
What are the signs of a failing circulation pump gasket?
Common signs include visible coolant leaks from the area between the pump and the engine block, engine overheating, and a consistently low coolant level without an obvious external leak. A stained or corroded surface around the pump housing can also indicate a slow leak.
Is any sealant required when installing this gasket?
Generally, modern gaskets like this are designed to be installed dry. However, always consult your engine's service manual. Some mechanics apply a very thin layer of gasket sealant as a precaution, but it is often not required if the mating surfaces are clean and smooth.
How often should the circulation pump gasket be replaced?
The gasket should be replaced any time the circulation pump is removed or replaced. There is no fixed service interval, but it should be inspected for leaks during routine engine maintenance.
