Chrisdut 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 yeah the pump should be fitted, it works by pumping water around when the engine is turned off to help stop the boiling effect of hot water sitting in the engine with no water pump to move it about Link to post Share on other sites

gav_113 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 has any come accross any photos of how the pump goes on, bit unsure where the wiring goes next to it (big loom plug) Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 It's fairly easy to fit. It should have a big plug that can only go onmto the top of it one way....Not sure as you said you never had the pump but you should also have some sort of an elastic rubber band type holder to hold it in place....Mark.
