Volvo D13 coolant filter shut off valve ON/OFF position?

That's the same position as mine so it should be open.

 

Yes the cooling system still works just fine valve is only there to close filter for ease of replacement problem is that it’s completely useless as soon as you try to close them they leak and they are usually rusted in one position. So they closed it and hence the leak

 

Yes this is the only side effect but think about it for a min if you take care of the truck like one is supposed to coolant just changed from hot to cold and it should not carry any debris that would need to be filtered

 

Can the shut off valve be replaced or does the entire pump and housing have to come off?

 

I had the valve replaced but at the time the shop was doing the oil cooler cover as well.

 

Do you know how they did it? Can you see if its the original housing that holds the water pump or if different after they did all your work?

If its the original or whicehever you had on before they started, I would imagine theres a way to screw it out or something..

 

Had it done 5 years ago . No pictures. The house is the same one.

 

Straight up = Open

Sideways = Closed
