Overview
This electric water pump is a replacement for Volkswagen Group 1.8 and 2.0 litre TFSI/TSI petrol engines, referenced to OE number 06K 121 011. It is made from plastic and supports coolant circulation independently of engine speed, which helps protect the turbocharger and maintain temperature control.
When this pump fails, drivers may see coolant temperature warnings, fault codes or after-run problems once the engine is switched off. A failed electric pump can contribute to turbo heat-soak and overheating, so prompt replacement is advisable.

Installation
Ensure the engine is cold before starting. Disconnect the battery, clamp hoses to limit coolant loss, and fit the new pump using its existing bracket if not supplied. Refill with the specified coolant and bleed the system carefully. Fault codes may need clearing with a diagnostic tool. Workshop fitting is recommended.
Inspect the coolant hoses and connector for damage while the pump is out.
Fitment checks before ordering
Electric pumps of similar appearance can differ in flow rating and connector. Check the label on your existing pump against 06K121011 and verify by engine code or VIN before purchase.
