Thanks for the info! I asked it because the previous owner said he already had to replace the circulation pump once that caused the AUX heater to not run at all. Will wait for the garage to be free, so I can check that pump. Its location I dislike a lot lol EDIT: so, to sum it up - if I do not hear the circulation/run-on pump run after I turn the engine off, it is defective? or is there any other more reliable way to diagnose it if I dismantle it, can I somwehow connect a power source and test it?
