IC Pump
Hey Guys,
Interested in hearing how many miles/km you got out of the stock pump.
The average life appears to be around 40-50k for the oe part. Is it somewhat obvious when the pump fails? I recently acquired an ‘02 C32 w/ 67k miles; I believe the pump in my car is the original. Any insight would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Ok, I plan on doing so. The power feels weak at certain points in the lower rpm range. I’m almost positive the pump is the original.

I ordered the updated Bosch pump today ending 010. Can someone please confirm this pump is a direct replacement? I read a few threads where people were having to splice wires, I believe they were upgrading to the Johnson or an alternative mfg. I feel like the updated Bosch is well-suited for a stock setup.
I look forward to installing and hopefully a noticeable difference in overall performance.
I’m almost positive mine is the original Bosch w/ 67k on the clock. Seems like money well spent in terms of preventive maintenance and peace of mind.

The new pump was installed yesterday along w/ a coolant flush. The original pump had 67k on it; I feel no more sluggishness w/ the replacement. I knew something felt off when the temps and humidity spiked here. Night and day in terms of overall performance. 
I’m also going to replace the oe relay tomorrow.
