Hi Ryan,

One of the fuses on top of the battery is in the same circuit as radiator fans, air con compressor, and secondary water pump. Check these fuses. This is a common fault.

As for the pump it's self, I'm still trying to find some similar info. Here is what I've found so far:

- Located to the right of the driver's side light cluster, next to the radiator.
- It seems really hard to get to on my TDI s, I think you have to remove most of the front to get to it, so many people get it checked / changed at the same time as the cam belt.
- My local dealer quoted my £250 to purchase and fit.
- I think it's fairly important as it will cool the turbo after shut down to prolong it's life.


The local dealer refused to tell me the part number, and I can't get to the pump to check it.

Come on guys, tell us the part number. Some one must have this?
