The popularity of auxiliary water pumps (AWP) has been trending upward for the last few decades as automotive heating and cooling systems become more complex. AWPs are used for many different reasons and can be found in cars as simple as a small SUV to exotic luxury cars.

Other signs could be an ineffective cabin heating system or a diagnostic
