Detailed Description

Nissens 831060 is engineered as an engine auxiliary water pump for after-cooling service, helping maintain coolant circulation in vehicles that rely on an electrically driven pump rather than a belt-driven unit. This part number is listed for 2000-2005 Volkswagen Passat and 1998-2001 Audi A6 and Audi A6 Quattro applications, making it a targeted replacement for specific factory configurations. The pump is specified with a 12.70 LPM flow rate and a 12-volt electrical design to match the original system requirements.

This part number, Nissens 831060, is also referenced by multiple OE and aftermarket numbers, including 078121599C and 8TW358313341, for the same application family.

What It Helps Address

• Loss of coolant circulation in the after-cooling circuit
• Overheating caused by a failing auxiliary pump
• Electrical pump noise or vibration from worn internal components
• Poor fitment or connector mismatch on replacement service
• Reduced coolant flow in Volkswagen Passat and Audi A6 cooling systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, voltage, and flow specification before installation. This pump uses a D-shape connector and 12-volt operation, and it does not include a gasket or seal, mounting bracket, pulley, or hardware. Confirm the vehicle’s cooling system layout and replace any required sealing components during service.

Quality Assurance

Nissens manufactures these electric water pumps using selected raw materials and tests each unit for pumping efficiency, fit, and electrical compatibility. The design focuses on stable coolant circulation, reduced vibration, and long service life in the specified applications.
