Understanding the Secondary Water Pump in Your Mercedes-Benz Vito
The Mercedes-Benz Vito is renowned for its reliability and performance, which is in part thanks to its sophisticated cooling system. An integral component of this system is the secondary water pump. Unlike the primary water pump, which is mechanically driven, the secondary water pump is typically electric and operates independently to provide additional coolant flow, especially during low engine speeds or when the engine is idling.
Significance of the Secondary Water Pump
The secondary water pump in your Mercedes-Benz Vito plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal engine temperatures and preventing overheating. It ensures that coolant continues to circulate throughout the engine block and radiator, thereby aiding in heat dissipation. This is particularly important in vehicles like the Vito that may have a higher cooling demand due to their utility and load-carrying capabilities.
When to Replace Your Vito's Secondary Water Pump
Over time, the secondary water pump may wear out or malfunction. Signs that it might need attention include overheating, unusual noises from the pump area, or a check engine light. Regular maintenance and checks as part of your cooling heating system service can help identify issues before they lead to more significant problems.
Choosing the Right Secondary Water Pump
When selecting a replacement secondary water pump for your Mercedes-Benz Vito, it's essential to choose a part that meets the OEM specifications. A high-quality pump will ensure that your Vito's cooling system operates efficiently and reliably. It's also wise to consider the warranty and support offered by the supplier, ensuring that you're covered in the event of a part failure.
Installation and Maintenance
Proper installation is key to the longevity and performance of your new secondary water pump. It is recommended to have a professional mechanic with experience in Mercedes-Benz vehicles handle the installation. Additionally, regular maintenance of your Vito's cooling system, including coolant changes and inspections, will help keep the secondary water pump and other components in good working order.

Secondary Water Pumps
Here at GSF Car Parts, we have a range of secondary water pumps that are key in some cooling systems. We have a handy product finder tool to help you find the correct one for your car. Simply enter your registration plate or make and model into the designated box. We'll show you what secondary water pumps are best for your vehicle.
What does a Secondary Water Pump do?
A secondary water pump (or auxiliary water pump) is not connected to the cooling system and is primarily used to circulate warm coolant to the heater exchanger. It's for driver and passenger comfort, allowing sufficient heating at low RPM and speeds. It can also keep the cabin warm for a short amount of time, even after you've turned off the ignition.
A failed secondary water pump isn't a critical component and won't damage your engine if faulty. You'll notice the heating level drop, and it won't keep heating the cabin if the engine is turned off.
