Quick Q, is the intercooler pump and fluid shared with the radiator's coolant? Or does it have it's own stand alone tank/fluid that's not circulating with the radiators fluid.
Damn I really need that workshop manual .

Correct. They share the overflow reservoir. No need to bleed either when redoing the ic pump.
The sl- class amg cars on the other hand have a completely separate coolant circuit.

I ordered the uprated 010 bosch pump, and wanted to make sure I do it right, bleeding the system and whatnot.. I'll most likely just flush the cooling system and refill with fresh fluid since I'm giving the car a tuneup.
Looks like it's as simple as locating the IC pump, removing and replacing it with the new one then. Thanks!
