Help Please Pump Stopped Working

[cgb1982]

Hello Guys
i have a 2001 cupra 20vt and ive just noticed that the humming noise (pump?) that used to run after id turned the car off has stopped running. does anyone know what this part is and what would cause it to stop running

any help appreciated

thanks in advance

could be a fuse gone (on top of battery) or your water pumps up the duff

ive spoken to seat and they reckon that nothing should pump round after the ignitions been turned off so im confused does anyone know what this pump does or if it should work after turn off?
cheers for your help

LOOOL!!!! Fools.....yes it should DEFINATELY work after you turn the ignition off. Ring them back and tell them they're fools

i know they sounded useless on the phone. is it the water pump?

 

[truCido]

its the secondary water pump....theres a 30A fuse that is on top of the battery. The reason it usually stops working is because this fuse has blown or melted

thanks for all your help ive taken the top off the fuse box and its melted ive managed to clean up the contacts and it does hold a fuse. im gonna try a lower fuse like a 25 amp so that it blows earlier next time instead of melting

thanks again

it'll prob just melt again, when mine melted i was because i needed a new cooling fan, replace that and its been fine since although it was about £400 for the fan and fuse holder and fitting etc.
