  If the motor protection of your PVR Water Pump is tripping, it could be due to several reasons. It may be caused by pump seizure and jam, in which case you should overhaul the pump. Another cause may be a broken vane, so you should replace the vanes. Inefficient exhaust filters can also cause this issue, so replacing them might help. Lastly, high temperature due to polluted oil can be the reason, and in that case, you should change the oil.

  If you notice an oil leak in your PVR Water Pump, first check if the plug has been closed properly, and replace the gasket if necessary. If the oil filling/discharge plugs are leaking, inspect and clean the oil recovery pipe. An inefficient oil recovery system can also cause leaks, so replace the exhaust filters. Also, check the oil level.

  If you observe a drop in performance in your PVR Water Pump, start by checking the inlet filters, as they might be dirty and need cleaning or replacement. Also, a blocked oil cooler could be the cause, so clean or replace it as well. The coupling element might be worn, so consider replacing it.

Why is my PVR EU 160 making an anomalous noise?
- M
  Morgan MartinAug 26, 2025
  If your PVR Water Pump is producing anomalous noise, it could be due to damaged motor or pump bearings, which would require replacement. Damaged vanes can also cause unusual noise, so replace them if needed. In case of damaged contact surfaces, a pump overhaul at our workshop is recommended. Additionally, worn shaft oil seal rings can be the culprit, and replacing them should resolve the issue.
