Airtex has introduced its ECF water pump, which is an aftermarket alternative to the original equipment (OE) version used for 1.6 and 2.0-litre VAG engines from 2012 onwards, which now total more than nine million vehicles across Europe.
The water pump varies flow rate according to the requirements of the engine, which results in improved engine warm up times, leading to gains in fuel efficiency and lower emissions. The pump uses the company’s own patented SWITCH ECF switch ECF technology to vary the flow rate, without infringing the original patent. The ECF pump (reference 1978) is available as a single water pump unit, or as part of the increasingly popular water pump kit programme, with reference WPK-197801 including the water pump, timing belt, tensioner and pulley.
