I have the same problem. no sound from any of my 3 pumps. (front, rear, headlamp pump)

Hi Van

i found the missing bolt you was talking about, thank you:) no it is much better, 900-1000 RPM´s in idle could

I have just tried again today, the STOP is always on, and is indicating that it is the water that is the problem....
it is on when it is could and has not been started for a few days.

so always on....

what can do this?

du you have a picture?

when i took the photo i could not move the functions in the info center, it would not react on my temps to move the funcition-button.. I thorough that it was because of the STOP warning, but should i be able to switch between the functions anyway?

I will chek it next time

how can I check the thermostat? can i measure it?

i have a little leak somewhere, but it is not much.
