Normal to hear the coolant pump when starting charge?

[Tjopsta]

Hi all,

Had my Mach e for almost a year now and the last few weeks we had a significant cold snap for a few weeks (about -30 c / - 28 F). I'm now starting to hear the the coolant pump through the battery significantly when I charge the car, ever since I took in the car a few weeks ago for the windscreen reseal recall. This is not the same as hearing the flaps open and the normal operation of the pump, I literally hear fluid/water pump through. Almost as if there isn't enough coolant fluid. Nothing significant happened to the car at all so it's a bit weird. Anyone else experience this? Is it normal? If I am not mistaken the coolant system is an enclosed system and isn't something that needs topping up, right?

When you took your car in, did they perform 21P22? If so, they updated up to 13 modules.

I asked them to apply SSM-49676 as I had the same issue with my Fob not unlocking when in range, which seems to be done since I don't have the issue anymore. How would I be able to check if 21P22 was done?

This is normal when it's cold. The coolant returning to the reservoir makes a bit of a gurgling sound. That used to be accompanied by the very loud sound of a fan, but that part was fixed in a software update.

Read your work order.

Allright, thanks for the confirmation.
