Noises from the engine compartment + error code P2600
If unusual noises are heard from the engine compartment of the above-mentioned vehicle, the cause could be a faulty electric coolant pump. Often the error code P2600 (coolant pump) is also stored in the control unit.
The cause of this could be internal corrosion brought about by water entering the pump motor. The following steps can be taken to remedy the situation:
- remove and disassemble the coolant pump
- If there are no traces of corrosion: repair pump with repair kit (251000-3HZ0FFF)
- If corrosion is visible, replace the pump
- Check the multi-connector of the coolant pump for corrosion and clean/repair where necessary
- Fill/vent cooling system and check for leaks
- Clear error memory
- Carry out a test drive
