mini safety recall
Discussion
Dunno why they're going on about an 'electric' water pump. The engine waterpump is driven from the belts. Not in a particularly convential way. It runs off the back of the other belts driven by a 'friction' wheel. I wonder if that's the bit that causes the problem?
They say in the article that 200,000 vehicles are produced every year and only 235,000 will be recalled. This suggests it is one varient of the car and not every MINI. So I wonder if JCWs have an electric water pump added on somewhere? I can't recall ever seeing an electric water pump anywhere on the standard Cooper S.

I believe it is the water pump for the intercooler on the cooper s and jcw engines.They say in the article that 200,000 vehicles are produced every year and only 235,000 will be recalled.

Went to dealer today and at the moment they cant confirm chassis numbers, so will sit and wait....
