The risk
The water pump can generate negative pressure and allow coolant fluid to seep through the pump housing and onto the electrical circuit board and connections. This can short circuit and in some cases thermally damage the external coolant pump harness, increasing the risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
