What is this part and why does it matter?

Signs of a faulty part

If you notice any of the following, the part likely needs replacement:

  • Turbo running hotter than expected after shutdown, contributing to premature wear
  • Check Engine light with an auxiliary coolant pump fault code
  • Whining noise from the pump after engine shutdown

Installation information

Mounted in the coolant circuit with hose connections and an electrical connector — bleed the cooling system of air after installation.

Frequently asked questions

This is intentional — on turbocharged engines, residual heat in the turbo after shutdown can cause oil to coke inside it without continued coolant flow, so this pump keeps circulating coolant for a short period to cool it down safely.
