Hi,
from the diagram below the recirculating pump supplies heated coolant for cabin heating and for heating up windshield water.
Because of a leak in this circuit leading to loss of coolant I want to electrically shut down the recirculating pump temporarily until the leak is fixed.
I understand that there will be no heated windshield water and no heat for the cabin, which I can live with.
The main question is whether the engine cooling is affected causing damage to the engine itself?
Thanks for bearing with a possibly dumb question but I was goofy enough to break a connecting pipe of the above circuit (part #23)!
