Title: Radiator Secondary Water Pump.
Post by: P6UL K on 24 January 2013, 12:11:22
Does the pump flow the water from top to bottom or vice-versa?

Water flows through the radiator. Convection makes the heat rise to the top first. Hottest pipe is the incoming.

So the pump flows the cooler water at the bottom to the top?

Not all Miggys have it AFAIK, but its usually in a bracket attached to the rad fan housing support arm.

Well, as you look at the pump, it will suck in from the pipe that enters its' base and water will flow out of the pipe that exist the side of the pump at a tangent.

Doesn't help if the pump is now off the car, admittedly. I can have a look later and see which way round mine is?

That would be great Kevin, thanks  :y

New rad has just turned up so I'm off out to fit it now  :)
