hey rocky, hows it going mate, had a shot at it today. werent very lucky. got the pump off its holder, went to pull the side pipe off, and coolant pi**ed EVERYWHERE haha, lucky it wasnt hot. anyways, hte motor appeared ot be working fine.. it seemed to be the connector. cos whenever i pressed it the other way, it speeded up back to normal. so attached it back on and just used a cable tie to push the connector so that it always working at its best. BUT... came home today and noticed, damn thing was not on. no noise at all. so after starting stopping the engine a few times it kicked back in. im thinking it MAY be the pump thats on its way out now... cos it sould work EVERY time... so might have to get a new one. the thing is, i didnt want to open it just incase i couldnt put it back together again ..

ive got this problem as well. just noticed doesnt come on an nothing sounds, does the car have to be at a certian temperture or should it allways work? thanks

Hey Paul, the pump should work everytime. Even if you haven't driven your car all day and the engine is ice cold as soon as you put your key into the acessary position the pump will come on and continue to work for about 10mins.

Yeah getting a volt meter is a good idea, mine turned out to be a relay. The relay is down behind the passenger side light (part no. 1J0 919 506K) cost about £100. Apparently my old one didn’t even have the pin marked for the secondary water pump on it!!

ok thanks will check out tonight an see what the problem is, hopefully will not be motor or relay as they both sound expensive

Follow the quick fix guide - mine used to work when I wiggled the connector plug.

Turned out that the motor was gunked up inside!

Followed the guide, cleaned it out and it has been perfect for over a year now :D


What have you got to lose :confused:

havnt got a feed mate so not going to work mate, need a feed before can work on motor

Also a quick way to see if your pump is ok is just hook it up directly to the battery, if its fine it will start working and you'll be able to hear it and also feel the water gushing around in the pipes.
