Engine code water pump

[Mike20082]

Hi
I’ve started getting the orange engine warning light come up. Code p261a refers to coolant pump B open circuit. I’ve been getting this intermittently.
Vw 2009 Passat tdi with 140k on the clock. Time for timing belt and water pump???

Thanks in advance
Mike

Should have been done after 7 years or 105K really, according to the book By bye $1300 which is what my B7 cost

Thanks. I assumed it was but was hopeful it may just be a lose wire/sensor if it’s intermittent.

I just had a quote through AutoGuru for $1350 ?? Bit steep.
Suggestions for north brisbane service?

Sounds about right but Im a bit sus on that App It cost me $1523 including the 7 year service but I supplied my own oil ($90)

If it’s saying the pump is open circuit it must be talking about an electric auxiliary pump rather than the mechanical pump at the front of the motor.
