'''Issue with Coolant Circulation Pump (A31/m1)'''
The Coolant Circulation Pump (A31/m1) is also known as - "Auxiliary Water Pump".
 
It may be hard to notice that your "coolant circulation pump" (also known as - "Auxiliary Water Pump", "0 392 020 066" or 0392020066, A2208350064, A31m1) is not working properly.
 
I have finally found that my pump was dead, and in cold weather my car could not be heated more than 30C even if AC was set to "HI".


'''Diagnosis:'''
Edit required.


When reading error codes with STAR I got this error code:
==Issues - Coolant Circulation Pump==
"B1416 The component or the signal line to the component A31m1 (Coolant circulation pump) has Short circuit to positive or Overload."
* It may be hard to notice that your coolant circulation pump (A31/m1) is not working properly.
* If the pump is dead, then in cold weather the car could not be heated more than 30C even if ACC was set to "HI".


As it turns out B1416 error code is thrown if coolant circulation pump draws >5A current.

I removed the pump and connected it to 12V DC. The pump did not spin at all (it was completely stuck and I could not rotate it even by hand) and the multimeter showed that it consumed 5.5A current.
