1.0 ecoboost cooling pump question

Featured Replies

Hi guys does my 63 plate focus 1.0 ecoboost have a pump to cool down the turbo after the engine is shut down??

If so where is it located??

Thanks Steve 



On 1.0 ECOboost Focus MK3 versions that are produced before 05-05-2014 the additional electric coolant pump is only present if the car is equipped with a factory fitted towing hook. 

From 05-05-2014 the additional electric coolant pump is present on every 1.0 ECOboost Focus MK3.

 

This is wat the electric coolant pump looks like:

Thanks mate you're a star much appreciated doesn't look like I've got one 

Thanks Steve 

If Ford later decided to fit them to all cars from a certaindate  there must have been a reason for that and that would suggest that there could be a good reason to retrofit that part to earlier cars.

That is exactly why I retrofitted the electric coolant pump to my 2013 Focus 1.0 ECOboost.

The additional electric coolant pump system consists of the following parts:

Electric coolant pump. Finis 1763048. Part number CM5G-8C419-AA  
Bolt M6 x 14 mm. Finis 1381665. 
Coolant hose. Finis1853623. Part number CM5G-9V427-GD.
Coolant hose. Finis 1793564. Partnumber CV61-8B573-VD.
Wiring harness. Finis 1772607. Part number BV6T-14C361-AA.
 
I ordered all these parts from a German wholesale supplier which supplies OEM parts of most car brands. These parts costed me only €150,- which was considerably cheaper than a Ford dealer. These parts cost about €230,- from ford.
 
After the electric coolant pump system is installed the PCM needs to be reprogrammed with the correct software version to activate the electric coolant pump. For me this was not a problem because I own the Ford IDS diagnostic system myself. 

i fitted the electric coolant pump too on my 2013 1.0 ecoboost.

Hi all,

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I've had a garage agree to fit the pump when I can find the parts, I've already booked it in to fit the mk3.5 hoses to my mk3. However they've said they cant do the PCM update. Does anyone know if the pump can be fitted, but without being configured until a later date? That way I can go and find someone to do it later down the line while being able to have all the components fitted at the same time as getting the new hoses and coolant tank fitted?

Thanks

Yes you can have it fitted. Won't make any difference.

Another question around this if I can. 

Is the coolant pump needed even if we're conscious of idling the engine for a minute afterwords before shutting the engine off?

Thanks.

Difficult to say really, obviously keeping the coolant circulating is good.  But idling a hot engine while stationary is just going to increase under bonnet temps overall so it seems a bit counter productive.

Thank you for that. Makes sense.

I have a electric coolant pump in my -14 focus.

I haven't seen it running yet.

It is winter and quite cold in here northern europe.

Is it only pumping with certain outdoor temperatures?

The electric cooolant pump is only active when the engine temperature is still above a certain value when the engine is shut off. 

The pump is usually only activated during high ambient temperatures (for example in summer).

Hi All,

sorry to go over such an old topic - I’m fitting the pump to my 2013 Focus that doesn’t have one. Where does electrical connection plug into ?   Does anyone know? I’ve ordered the harness as listed and one side goes in the pump but where does the other side connect to the vehicle? 

  • 1 month later...

Okay , now it is really warm here in northern europe.

I have check few times after driving, but still no coolant movement in expansion tank after shutdown.

Do i have to suspect faulty pump?

Should it place an trouble code if faulty?

Are you trying to look for a problem you don't have ?

Does your engine over heat ? if the answer is No, then you don't have a problem.

No.

I just want to understand , how should my electric coolant pump work.

I thought that someone here would know when it should pump.

If one day i put trailer to my tow bar , i want to be sure that pump operates when it is supposed to.

So you are looking for a problem you don't have !!!

You have a 2007 Mondeo with a belt driven mechanical water pump.

You need to worry that the brakes will still work when put a trailer on your tow bar.

I also have a 2014 focus

Hello everyone I am new to these forum and I was wondering if anyone who did these upgrade/retrofit has a wiring diagram or any information were to connect the wiring harness as I am interested in doing these upgrade/retrofit as first gen of the 1.0L ecoboost dosent have these auxiliary water pump and I have allready cooked a head gasket and turbo because of these reason as the water inside the turbo after a drive let’s say a little bit sport drive is boiling thus the coolant/water is boiling inside the hot side of the turbo and thus creating a small pressure inside the expansion tank and contributing to the loss of the coolant inside the engine 

I specify that the car do not overheat at all just as you stop the engine you can hear the water boiling inside the turbo and I want to do these retrofit as i really enjoy to drive these car 

I want to thank you for your help if someone can help 

The connector for the additional electric coolant pump is located on top of the radiator fan, just below the air filter housing.

There will currently be a blank plug to prevent water from entering the harness. You can just remove the blank plug and connect the pump harness to the main engine bay harness.

Note that the PCM software needs to be updated to the correct version otherwise the additional electric coolant pump will not work.

Thank you very much for the information it helps me very much I will do the upgrade/retrofit 

For the software it’s quite unusual because when I run a diagnostic for my car it give me an error code for the auxiliary water pump allready but the water is not installed and the plug that you mentioned is blanked 

But I will have it to be checked and reprogrammed 

Thank you again for the information 

The DTC code regarding the additional electric coolant pump suggests that at some point someone selected the wrong software. 


When reprogramming the PCM using the Ford IDS system (which was the official Ford diagnostic system back in the days) the program literally asks whether the additional electric coolant pump is present or not. Based on this choice the program selects the correct software. 

All PCM software updates that are performed afterwards will be automatically selected based on the programmed software version. Once a software version with electric coolant pump support is programmed you can only go back by programming the original software version manually.


In this case reprogramming of the PCM may not be required. Once the pump is installed the DTC code can be deleted and should no longer come back.
