Electric cooling pump option
My Bosch electrical cooling pump recently died on me. Installed my spare and all is we. Looking online I notice Toyota Prius cooling pumps are pretty inexpensive, has anyone tried on in their fresh water system? Thinking of buying a couple as it has a nice waterproof power plug and can be swapped out pretty quickly.

These pumps cool the inverter, not the entire engine. I have no idea if they can move enough fluid to cool an A4.

Suggest you speak with Indigo, if you haven't already.

Gary, early on I was attracted to a pump used for Mustang supercharger intercoolers. I looked for specifications all over the internet without success but concluded if it worked for that application it would work for ours. The $59 price tag was the hook.
Here's how well that experiment went: http://www.moyermarineforum.com/foru...80&postcount=1

Bosch
We have the Bosch that Indigo sells: it's been fine so far, but that's after just a couple of short seasons. How did yours fail? How long did it work? Any idea why it failed?
Thanks!

I have one of his johnson pumps and no problems for over 3 years. He does have a new pump he is recommending, BLDC that is brushless.
