Dealer can't find the problem on the ic pump 03 cl55
after posting the problem i had with my 03 cl55 about my supercharger shutting off after 100 mph and some people told it's the intercooler pump.i took my car to the dealer and told them about the ic pump ,they called me the second daty telling me my ic pump is fine
and they said i have bad engine and transmission mounts but that's why my cl shakes. they will replace the mounts .how can i prove them that the ic pump is bad since there no warning lights????

If the pump is turning off, I'd imagine the supercharger clutch will disengage so they may not see the intake temps rising and not be able to diagnose the issue on Star.
Oxygen's recommendation to add power and see if the pump turns on sounds like the best idea. If it does not run, tell the dealership it is bad and they can test it for themselves. Some mechanics at dealerships are pretty dense/lazy and do as little as they possibly can. Make the service advisor feel bad that you had to climb under the car to test it yourself. If he is worth a damn, he will rip the mechanic a new one.
