Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the battery and drain the cooling system to avoid coolant spillage.
2. Removal of Old Pump: Unscrew the mounting bolts, carefully detach the drive shaft, and remove the old pump. Clean the mounting surface to ensure a proper seal.
3. Mounting the V20-50034: Position the new pump onto the engine block, align the drive shaft with the crankshaft pulley or accessory gear, and secure it using the supplied bolts.
4. Re‑assembly: Reconnect the coolant hoses, refill the system with fresh coolant, and purge air by running the engine with the heater on high until steady temperature is reached.
5. Final Check: Inspect for leaks around the pump seals and verify that the pump operates smoothly without excessive noise.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the O‑ring and mechanical seal annually; replace if signs of wear or cracking appear.
• Flush the cooling system every 30,000 km (or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer) to remove deposits that could impede pump performance.
• Avoid using incompatible coolants; always match the coolant type specified for your engine model.
