My impeller is due for a change - where can I find visual instructions on how to do this?
 
There is a video on Youtube for the D6. I believe the D4 should be the same or very similar.

I don't think I can paste the link here. The title is "How to change the impeller on a Volvo D6", provided by "Elevate Yacht".

Not too complicated but you need the pull out device.

The PDF file "Service and Maintenance D4, D6" that you can download from the Volvo Penta website shows the process on pages 70 and 71. It seems not so complicated; however, the space and position to access the seawater pump seem very tight (I have a D6).

Based on the manual, there's no need to remove belts or other components. Maybe removing the water sensor from the engine fuel filter can give you a bit more space.


The video suggested by Andreas shows the process in detail. Here is the link:

I'll keep watching the thread, as my knowledge is still 100% theoretical at this point. I will need to replace my impeller next year.

Good luck
