The conventional coolant pump is driven by a belt and cannot be used for cooling the exhaust turbocharger after the engine has shutdown. For this reason there is an electic coolant pump, which works at a power of 20W. This is done by a seperate cooling circuit. This circuit can also be activated during engine operation, the electric coolant pump can be switched on taking into account the following factors:

- Coolant temperature at engine outlet
- Engine oil temperature
- Injected fuel quantity

The heat input into the engine is calculated thes values. The after-run of the electric coolant pump can last up to 30 minutes. To improve the cooling effect, the electric fan is activated and can for up to a max of 11 minutes.

There are two separate 50W cooling pumps for the DMEs (one for each bank)
