The average vehicle puts off a lot of heat – often enough to heat an entire house – through normal operation. That means an effective cooling system is vital in keeping your vehicle running properly. A main component in the cooling system is the water pump.

Because the water pump is so important, we have a large selection of Volkswagen Passat Water Pumps from which you can choose. Our water pumps are of the highest quality and are specifically designed to fit into your Volkswagen Passat’s cooling system.

Your vehicle’s cooling system relies on a fluid that is a mixture of water and antifreeze. This liquid removes heat from the engine, flows into the radiator, where that heat dissipates, cools off, and returns to the engine to complete the cycle. Water is an ideal liquid in the system because it loses heat slowly, keeping the temperature in its environment more steady, as anyone from a maritime climate knows. This way, temperatures under the hood do not fluctuate wildly. Our Volkswagen Passat Water Pumps simply keep that whole cooling process going, much like a heart does for the cardiovascular system. The pump is driven by a belt that is attached to the engine’s crankshaft. The cooling liquid is locked into a centrifuge in the pump and is slowly drawn out. If you think your water pump may be in need of replacement, a simple check can be done. Simply slide your finger along the water pump to see whether the outside of it is wet. If so, then you need a new water pump.And if that time has come, take a look at our selection of Volkswagen Passat Water Pumps today.
