Hi all.
New to these engines so bear with me.
Could you confirm if the 200 thp has an electric coolant pump or belt driven pump, and if it's belt driven is it on an auxiliary belt or the timing belt ?
Thanks in advance

The pump works in a curious way, there is a wheel that, when the engine has warmed up, an actuator makes it touch the accessory belt, and through friction, it moves the pump.

The timing chain is a chain, not a belt.

If the engine isn't overheating, the pump is obviously working.

The turbo's electric pump is located below the turbocharger, and if it's quiet, you should hear it running when you turn off the hot engine.
