Benz Elite Automotive in Arlington VA is awesome!!!
I just want to express my thanks to my boy Eddie over at Benz Elite. I called Eddie at about 3pm on Friday, just before the holiday weekend. I needed my I/C Pump removed and my new Bosch installed in its place. The CLS55 Pump location is butter. It sits just under the front engine cover. The facility is beautiful and very clean. Exactly what you would expect to find in a shop that works on our cars. His staff was great to deal with very helpful and did a great job, Thanks again Eddie.

Also i was shocked to see how tiny the stock pump is, its no wonder why they fail so prematurely.

From the name I thought it was a dealership but I found their web site and see they also work on Porsche's & BMW's.

$120 for install and the Bosch pump was $128.

Here is a picture of the new Bosch pump installed. We were able to retain usage of the OEM bracket which made for a very clean and quick install.

Eddie told me everything, you buy the performance parts and he will install them.

Thanks Bro. I'll have to get me one of those once I get the beast back on the road. Have you noticed any performance difference?

Yes but only because my stock pump was failing.

Can you PM me the part # and place you ordered it from? I don't think I gave issues yet, but good to have it as a spare.
