Hi,
Have just acquired a white 480 turbo '92 in poor body state, been left off the road for 9 yrs and only done 65k. The auxiliary cooling unit doesn't appear to be operating. My other turbo auxiliary unit whines for a while, presumably pumping water around. Any ideas???
Anyone have a spare one for sale? Is there a fuse to this unit or any other area where I need to look, before replacing it.
I presume you mean a 400 series?
Tbh, a lot of the auxiliary cooling pumps don't work.
Probably a relay somewhere, or a fuse, or the pump itself.
Not much use I know, but they manage fine without them anyway.
Unless you're in the habit of driving them really hard then switching off immediately without letting it cool a little, I wouldn't worry about it.
Thanks for that info. I didn't know whether it was a big problem or not. No, I don't drive it hard all the time and shut off. I always cool off for about 5 miles before turning off, after a long journey. If that is OK, then I can put it aside for another time.Quote:

If it's noisy, the activation circuit should be OK though. If you can find one on a breaker apply 12v to it & see if it runs before buying
//edit
Mis-read that, check out the wiring diagrams on the 480 Club Europe page, those will help trace the fault
Cheers Jamesy, hope all is still ok over there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All good fella, thanks...coming up to Christmas though so crazier than usualQuote:

No rest for the wicked man, I'll be here making millions...of naira! Recently had a further pay cut to make it a total of 40% less than when I started, but a crap job is better than no job :)Quote:
