# 3806213 Coolant Pump Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for a coolant pump, in the Cooling System group. It is the refundable charge raised against the old coolant pump when the exchange unit is bought, and it comes back once the worn coolant pump is returned. The line itself is an accounting entry rather than a part, so nothing ships against it on its own. Under Volvo Penta's core numbering the exchange unit it belongs to takes part number 3803213, which we list simply as a coolant pump, with no exchange or remanufactured wording against it. At 14.498 kg it sits within 356 grams of 3806214 at 14.854 kg, and the ten coolant pump cores here are not all published with a weight, so the set cannot be ranked by mass - order by the number of the pump coming off. At that weight the old pump goes back as a freight item rather than a small parcel, so allow for it when the return is booked.

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Core deposit line, not a coolant pump you can fit
-   Belongs with the exchange unit, part number 3803213
-   Refunded when the old coolant pump is returned
-   Published at 14.498 kg
-   Within 356 grams of 3806214, so weight is no guide

## 🔌 Function

As a line item it carries the refundable core charge on the exchange; the pump itself drives coolant round the block, head and heat exchanger so the engine holds its working temperature under load.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   This is a deposit line and has nothing to fail in itself; the signs below are what normally condemns the coolant pump being exchanged
-   A rusty stain or dried salt trail below the pump housing
-   The engine running hot when it is worked, and slow to come back down afterwards
-   Bearing noise from the front of the engine that changes with speed rather than with load
-   On strip-down, an impeller found corroded or eroded with the vanes eaten away

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   The charge is refunded when the worn coolant pump is returned, so keep the old unit and send it back rather than scrapping it
-   Ordering this number on its own supplies no part - it goes on the order beside the exchange unit, part number 3803213
-   Renew the gasket or sealing ring and check the belt, tensioner and drive pulley while the pump is off, and flush the system through if the old pump has been shedding corrosion
