Philipstormy 0 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 If it was winter i say no but this time of the year i would get it done asap, running along ok but if you get stuck in traffic you will get very hot i would imagine!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 thge aux water pump does bugger all when the engines running afaikwhat it does is run for a few mins after switch off bit like a turbo timer the pump helps to prevent hotspots around the head Link to post Share on other sites
Dubsingh 0 Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 wot i did was installed a fan overide as well to keep temp dwn in traffic....but i reckon ill burn the mottor sooner....will the twin mk3 vr fan aet up sit on a rallye radiator? Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 i doubt it fella as the whole front panel is part of the fan set up on the mk3. you could go for an aftemarket fan setup with an in-car controller, but it would be easier, safer and cheaper to just replace the pump.
