Ford B MAX overheating problem - possible defect in the auxiliary water pump

Hey, I had a similar problem with my Ford C MAX (diesel, year of manufacture 2015). My expertise is limited, but I do know a bit about cars. I had a similar problem with the indicator light. I then went to the garage. They found that the cable on the pump/control unit was defective. I paid around 225 euros for it and since then everything has worked again. Maybe you have the same problem? Have they already looked for the cable in the workshop? However, I can't help you any further without more details about your car. Which model do you have exactly and how far has it run? I would be interested to know if there are any particular symptoms.

Hey, thanks for the tip! I drive a 2017 Ford B MAX and it already has 138929 km on the clock. I haven't had the cable checked at the garage yet, but I will ask about this specifically. Since you had a similar problem, it doesn't sound so unlikely. However, I haven't noticed any other specific symptoms. Apart from those already mentioned, of course.

Hey, no problem, gladly! Your Ford has already done a few kilometers, so the cable could really be the problem. I would definitely address this at the next workshop visit. If there are no other symptoms, that really sounds like a possibility. Help always costs money, of course, but it's still better than risking the car overheating or even breaking down. I hope this has helped you. Let me know if you have any more information or if the garage has found out anything. Have a safe journey!

Hello, thank you very much for your help and support! As there are no other symptoms, I will actually focus on the cable and have this checked out in the workshop. It's a good feeling to know that there may be a solvable and financially manageable solution. I'll definitely keep you posted as soon as there's any news. Thanks again and keep your chin up!
