FEBI45820 Febi Additional Water Pump

This pump basically helps your main water pump. Think of it like a second set of hands. The main water pump does the bulk of circulating coolant through your engine, but the auxiliary pump steps in to keep things moving, especially when the engine is warming up or under a heavy load. It’s designed to provide extra circulation where the main pump might not be able to reach as effectively, like after you’ve shut the engine off and it's cooling down, or when you're sitting in traffic. Some systems use it to keep the turbocharger cooled even after you park. It fits into the cooling system as a helper. It doesn’t replace the main water pump, it works with it. Modern engines, particularly those with turbochargers or complex cooling needs, often use these to maintain consistent temperatures. It’s typically electric, so it can run even when the engine isn’t, which is key for some of those temperature regulation tasks. It might be located near the thermostat housing or close to the turbo if you have one. If this pump fails, you might not immediately notice, but things will start to heat up. It acts like a shield against overheating, especially in demanding situations. You’ll notice if it's gone because your engine temperature gauge might start creeping up, particularly when idling or in slow traffic. Ignoring it can lead to serious engine damage. It helps prevent hot spots and ensures even cooling throughout the engine block. You can find replacements pretty easily, Fixparts Online carries a good selection. It's a relatively common part to fail eventually, so it’s good to be aware of it and address it before it causes bigger problems.
