Methods and a system are provided for powering a coolant pump to drive a coolant flow through a charge air cooler using exhaust gas-driven rotations of a turbocharger. In one example, a method may include adjusting a coolant flow through a charge air cooler with a coolant pump, the coolant pump mechanically driven by rotative power from a turbocharger. As such, coolant flow may increase with increasing turbocharger speed and the method may further include adjusting a wastegate of a turbocharger turbine to adjust power provided to the coolant pump.
