Aux water pump

Post by Ed. » Tue Sep 18, 2007 11:42 pm

Hi guys,

I know this topic has been covered before, but i need to ask.

My aux water pump has stopped working on my 440 turbo. I am about to sell the car but i need to make a couple of 150 mile journeys this coming weekend.

Is the car ok to drive for this kinda distance? Is the aux water pump an essential item that i should replace or will it be fine to leave it as it is?

I am aware that if i do leave it not working, i will have to let the engine idle for a while after a long run.

Your advice is appreciated,

Ed
