Interested In Why This Pump Is Listed?

[Chunksta]

Guys,

Without sounding like a complete muppet, where does this get fitted and why is it on the system?

Is it to add additional flow up to the rad?

It's the auxilary waterpump.

[bigherb]

It is fitted to some engines to keep the water circulating for a while after the engine has been switched off to stop the water boiling in the cylinder heads.

[donciuz]

It is fitted to the turbodiesel JX ones.

Thanks guys!

I wonder if I had one of these the old girl might not have overheated after the run down to Brighton Breeze and the subsequent "queue" a couple of years back.

I always thought a small waterpump must struggle to move all that water to the front?

Was your radiator fan not working?

[Chunksta]

Yeah! Fan was running.

Only experienced it once more, queuing to get into a show.
