SLK32 loss of power
When my car is cold, she drives like a 32 but after awhile she looses power, like the super charger stoped, can you advise what the prob might be?

Probably overheating. Have you pulled any codes? Check your cooling system?

I drove it for 30mins and the temp gauge was normal just no power.
I also checked the cooling system and that seemed fine.
unscrewed the intakes and there was no leaks or any dry coolant.

RF fender well, in front of tire. Get a Bosch last 3 digits "010" pump to replace what you have.
If your intake temps are over about 180 the car will shut off the supercharger.

I bought the Johnson pump from eurocharged. It was the best pump for the price that I could find.
