An electric water pump is an additional pump to allow a greater flow of water around the cooling system, thereby creating a more uniform coolant temperature and allows for the coolant to be pumped for a short period of time after engine switch-off to reduce cavitation. There are a couple of threads which go into this in some detail. I believe that the kv6 engine is also prone to hgf, like the 1.8. The kv6 is definately prone to thermal hotspots in the engine which cause localised boiling and cavitation, reducing heat ransfer at the very point it is required most. Craig Davies make a very good system.
As for how much - somewhere between £150 and £250, plus fitting - it is, however an easy diy job.
 
thanks ming, least thats 1 less thing to worry about. just hopin the rest of it behaves it self!!! or am i being a bit optomistic! you guys dont fill me with hope when i mention the V6 word?????:confused: :eek:
NUFFIN WRONG WIV EM . . . .dont listen to the doom un gloom boys, jist keep yer maintenance up. . . .:)
 
and pray!
yu rite Ming - freelanders nevva go wrong - the hgf failure on 1.8's, the td4's blowing engine oil all over the road and the kv6 water boiling probs are collective hypnotism and the chassis cracking and VCU problems are figments of peeps imagination.
How dare you suggest that anyone that has had these problems has failed to maintain their vehicles properly!
