Understanding the Volkswagen Golf Secondary Water Pump
The cooling system of a Volkswagen Golf plays a crucial role in maintaining the optimal operating temperature of the engine. A key component of this system is the secondary water pump, which is designed to support the primary cooling functions and enhance coolant circulation. This pump is especially important during low engine speeds or when the main water pump is not operating at full capacity.
Significance of a Properly Functioning Secondary Water Pump
A secondary water pump helps to prevent hot spots in the engine that could lead to overheating, thus ensuring your Volkswagen Golf runs smoothly and efficiently. It is an essential part of the cooling heating network that contributes to the longevity and performance of your vehicle's engine.
Signs of a Faulty Secondary Water Pump
Some signs that may indicate a failing secondary water pump include unusual noises from the pump area, engine overheating, or coolant leaks. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to address them promptly to avoid further damage to your Volkswagen Golf's engine.
Choosing the Right Replacement
When it comes time to replace your Volkswagen Golf's secondary water pump, selecting the correct part is vital. It must be compatible with your specific Golf model to ensure proper function and prevent any potential issues. Be sure to check for OEM or equivalent quality pumps that meet the stringent standards set by Volkswagen.
Installation and Maintenance
Replacing a secondary water pump can be a complex task that might require professional assistance. Regular maintenance checks are also recommended to ensure the cooling system, including the secondary water pump, is in good working order. This proactive approach can save you from costly repairs and downtime in the future.

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.
