Hello

 

I cant find old theme on forum so i ask again…

 

I se sometime ago on foum that you can disable the impeler (open and close mechanism for faster heating) on water pump.

 

On my old car this thing has failed at 140000 km and my car has owerheating.

Car has not been old 5. And to major service are at 210000km.  
 

Now i have car that is old three years and has 140000 km. 2.0 Tdi 147kw.

 

Skoda dealer told me, that water pump still have the same problems like 5. Years ago and the problem did not be fixed!

**great thing skoda**

So it can now hapen again and i will awoid owerheating on my long tripes.

 

Is true that is somewhere that wire that can bee disconnected and impeller on pump stay open all the time?

I know that car theen need longer to get on right temperature.

 

Can someone teel more about this?

 

thanx

you would need to replace your pump with a modified pump which does'nt have the sliding shield [ non oem pump ]

if your car has done 140000km it  probably makes sense to replace the timing belt and pump anyway
