Hey, no problem, that's what we're here for! Yes, I remember the cost. It was pretty much €225, so not exactly cheap, but since then everything has been running like clockwork. It's as if the Fortuner never had it. The function of the auxiliary water pump was definitely limited, but since the visit to the mechanic that has been fixed. No further problems since then, at least as far as the cooling system is concerned. All the best with your Fortuner and have a great day!

Hey, that's a relief to hear! 225 is a lot of money, but if that's the solution to my problem, I probably won't shy away from going to the workshop. Thank you very much for your help and good advice. It sounds like I now know what I have to do. I'll keep you posted on how things go with my Fortuner. Take care and thank you again!

Hello, I had a similar situation with my 2014 Toyota Hilux. It turned out that the cable on the pump/control unit was defective. This prevented the auxiliary water pump from working properly, which can quickly lead to the engine overheating. But don't worry, it wasn't a serious problem, once it was fixed the car drove as normal again. It was necessary to replace the faulty cable and pump. I would recommend you get the same checked on your car. Just a tip, go to another garage if you weren't happy with your last one. Good luck with that!
