Water Pump with Magnetic Clutch – VAG 1.4TSI OEM (03C121004J)
Water Pump with Magnetic Clutch – VAG 1.4 TSI (OEM)
Known issue with 1.4 TSI engines (Twincharger)
Are you experiencing no power at low RPMs or does the car only pull above 3000 rpm?
Then there's a high chance that the magnetic clutch of the water pump / supercharger is defective.
In these engines, the supercharger operates via this magnetic clutch.
If it doesn't engage properly → no boost at low RPMs = no power.
Common fault codes
- P10AA – Supercharger magnetic clutch stuck in open position
- P10AC – Short to ground magnetic clutch
- P2262 – No turbo / supercharger boost (mechanical)
Symptoms
- No power below ±3000 RPM
- Car feels "sluggish" at low RPMs
- Turbo / supercharger not building boost
- Engine warning light
- Poor acceleration

The solution
With this OEM water pump with integrated magnetic clutch, you solve the problem properly in one go.
- OEM quality
- Complete solution (no separate clutch replacement)
- Restores supercharger function
