Water Intake pipe on AQ270 Volvo

[kamby]

I am going to replace the intake pipe PN 854031 on my AQ270 volvo drive. And i come up with 2 different ones. One pipe has 6 bolt holes in it sierra 18-2778

and one that only has 2 bolts Sierra 18-2777

And also on this drive is bellows adhesive needed on it? Bellows show it as having a lip on it. I bought Volvo #876294 OEM


*Edit* Engine is an AQ125A

You want the 18-2777 with 2 holes. Honesty, as fast as the OEM housing corrodes away, the Sierra one corrodes away a lot faster if you run in salt water.

Bellows adhesive not needed

I heard that about the sierra one, however i cant seem to locate an oem one or i would go that route..

these guys have the oem. 10 bucks more than sierra plus the oem doesn't come with the gasket (sierra does). Up to you.
