You aren't going to get anything from volvo except a new replacement part. Volvo penta doesn't not sell rebuild kits for any of their parts. All parts kits are going to be 3rd party from Amazon or ebay. I bought mine from marineparts_pumps. What issue are you having? Kinda hard to help without pictures or at least the model of your engine.
I was suspecting that , that Volvo did not sell kits.
I do see all the kits on eBay and amazon. The issue is described in thread, I will summarize again.
I have a pic or two on the first page of the topic. I will include another.
Grease got spit out of bearing , seal gave out on pump housing. The round spring from the seal was hanging off the pump housing and heavy black gook all around that. I was told to rebuild the pump , If I am going to install a new seal - bearing should be replaced too.
The problem all started when the impeller tossed a small piece of one of it's vanes up and into the bypass hole in thermostat housing and the exhaust risers were getting no water, so engine overheat. In investigating noticed the black solidified grease and spring seal hanging from raw water pump. Cause for rebuild?
Have a new thermostat to go in along with impeller , seal and bearing for raw water pump. Apparently there were 4 different pumps provided with a Volva Penta 5.0 GL PEFS serial number 4012023956.....their part numbers are included up the thread.
From my post #14 page one
"The searches on Amazon show a kit with a c-clip , and on the youtube videos the Volvo Penta 5.0 GL -the bearing is retained in the housing of the pump ".
"On my motor , the bearing is cemented / pressed onto the center shaft of pulley. (n o C- clip) Seeing the kit specified for
- New Sea Water Pump rebuild kit For Pumps 21214595 , 21214596 , 21214599 , 21214601 How to determine which pump I have? . When I see the c -clip I get a feeling kit is wrong one"
