2 ways to disable the water pump.

[Feggers]

Another example of poor design from VW. If they recommend draining the system in winter perhaps they could have installed a switch in the cupboard under the sink that disables the pump. Maybe a good DIY addition? All this fuse pulling etc on a quality vehicle is madness.

Do most people drain down in winter? I guess only when not using the vehicle for any length of time? What about those who take their Cali to the Alps for skiing trips?

I live in switzerland at 1000m so I'll need to do this...Its my first winter with my second hand 2009 Cali ...
