thanks for sharing the information!
so if i got the pump plus the two parts, some rubber hose and Y connector.
can you say anything about the installation process itself?
where did you mount A 278 200 03 85 ?
any pictures maybe even? thank you so much for some elaboration!

Here you go. The reservoir must be mounter between the air filter boxes right in front of the Engine control Unit.

thanks for the info - silly question but does the reservoir fit under the engin cover?
I have a carbon fiber engine cover - look slike i'd need to drill a hole?
and about the install, when you do it, you drained the cooling fluid completely?
a few words, basically anything you'd like to share on the install process is greatly appreciated.
thanks!

The reservoir fits perfectly under the engine cover without any problems.
No, you don't have to drill or make a hole. You just remove the engine cover fill the reservoir up and that's it. When you install the reservoir you may have to check and refill couple of time until the whole system is filled with fluid.
I didn't drain the whole system, no need to do that.
For the installation of this product at least two people are needed (for taking the bumper off)
use a lift while installation.
The front bumper has to be taken off to gain access to the hoses. take off the turbo coolers to gain more working space. Everything else must be done according to the diagrams that I've posted before. Collect all escaping coolant. Before assembly check for leaks. then install the front bumper.

one more thing if I may,
what the following for exactly:
3. Some rubberhose and a Y-connector.
can anyone explain some on how this is needed to be done with this install ?
thank you!

I finally did the upgrade according to the diagrams that I posted above. On the top of splitting the system I also upgraded the inter-cooler pump. I managed to find out from the other threats that Renntech is using Pierburg CWA100.2 pump, therefore I got the pump for much lower price.
Alternatively you can also order the pump from your local MB dealer with the following part number: Mercedes SLS cooling pump Part number: A 000 500 04 86 which costs around 400USD.
Connection of wires: Zero: Ground, 3 and four: Positive pole (+)

nice info! Any advantages of just upgrading the pump? Is that what renntech does, or do they add an extra res?

First, I divorced the system and got better outcome since I live in Tbilisi, Georgia where temperature reaches 45 Degrees. For daily driver it's a very good solution and necessary if you have a modified car.
If you modify your ECU and add large turbochargers. You must add heat exchanger. I got mine from Weistec... Intake temperatures are low and stable even after hardcore racing.

Is the coolant line 2782000385 absolutely required? Does it have a special connector, or would regular coolant line also fit?
I ask because I may use this same reservoir to divorce the intercooler on my E55.

Bumping this, those two diagrams posted look vastly different. Curious if any 2012-13 guys have done this successfully and can supply a parts list.

Anyone have an intercooler cooling diagram for 2014+ W218 similar to the one below?
interested in seeing how the plumbing goes from the intercooler to the heat exchanger to the auxiliary heat exchanger.
