Electrical Auxiliary Water Pump

The Pierburg 7.08002.03.0 is an OE-quality electrical auxiliary water pump operating at 12 volts. This component plays a crucial role in a vehicle's cooling system by ensuring proper coolant circulation to the engine, heater core, and auxiliary systems such as turbochargers. It is essential for maintaining optimal engine temperatures, especially in situations with reduced airflow, like stop-and-go traffic or at idle. Symptoms of a failing auxiliary water pump can include engine overheating due to inadequate coolant flow, coolant leaks from damaged seals or housing, and inconsistent cabin heating. This Pierburg pump is manufactured in Germany and is a direct replacement for OE numbers 06H121601K and 06H121601N. This auxiliary water pump is specifically designed to fit various Audi models, including the S4, S5, and Q5. Fitment is detailed, with specific notes for certain model years and production dates. For example, 2012 Audi S4 models require attention to the production date (10-08-2012). Additionally, certain 2018-2021 Audi Q5 models with 2.0L engines are noted to have two auxiliary water pumps sharing the same OE number, implying compatibility considerations for those applications. Pierburg, a part of the KSPG AG Group, is a recognized leader in automotive component design and production, specializing in emission reduction and air management technologies. They work closely with major automotive manufacturers as an OEM, focusing on advanced pump technologies for coolant, oil, and vacuum systems to ensure reliability and functionality.
