c32 amg
hi,
Could any one give me any ideas or solutions , i have just bought a 50000 mile c32 amg, i love the car but it seems to miss a bit, but equally sometime it doesnt, symptoms are worse when you are going steady a bit like the feeling of running out of fuel, also it gets to about 100 mph and does not go any more it like cant get another gear , but again sometimes its fine and is off? and sometimes pretty slow not like it is just a 2000cc family car, i have been told this could be the supercharger water cooler? or a dodgy wire to the supercharger? also it seems to grind over the n/s/r when it starts to go funny? thanks in advance for any help

your intercooler pump is failing, very common problem around the 45k-50k mark. Replace with an aftermarket Johnson CM30 and youll be good to go!

yes, a 30 min job, just do a search there'd tons of write ups with step by step directions on how to do it.
Go to the "Instuctions thread" and the replacement thread is on there. Good luck! It's a very simple install.

took me 45 mins to fix it. I have no idea what I'm doing and it works...it's been 2 yrs since I done it. No issue.
Ford Lighting pump is easiest way to go.
