*I have a question. My pump went bad in my 06 clk350, so I went to my local junk yard and they have a pump from a 2005 clk320. Will it work in my car with out any problems.*

NO LONGER ACTIVE
It should be a drop-in replacement. The original part number was A2098000148. it was revised twice - A2098000248 and finally with A2098000548, but those should all be interchangeable. Also, there is A2098000648 which is indicated for cars with the automatic trunk open/close feature. I assume it would work, too, but may have a different mounting bracket.

Didn't know I had a different pump. Could be brackets or could be related to the fact there are two more lifts and four more lines.

The pumps with trunk open/close option are not a drop-in for standard pumps. Vice versa, if you have the automatic trunk open/close feature then you need the matching pump p/n A 209 800 06 48.

Beware: the part number stickers on the pumps show a different number (for example, A 209 800 03 30), and the part number on that sticker can be the same for different pumps!

The most common pump failure is the electric motor shorting out. After that, the most common failure is plain pressure loss. Junkyards typically ask far too much money for used pumps, because they know how much these pumps are new and because there is quite a demand for them.

If you buy a used pump, then you will get an item with limited service life left in it. Unless you can get a matching, used pump very inexpensively, by far your best option is having your pump rebuilt by Top Hydraulics. You get a product back that is better than a brand new one, because we upgrade a lot of internal components and we squeeze some extra power out of the pump. For example, we put some 30% more copper into our rewound electric motors (to avoid future overheating), upgrade internal seals, and install only pistons and rotors with tight tolerances. We average 1-2 days turn around plus 2-3 days Priority Mail return shipping within the US.

Rebuild & upgrade service for W209 CLK hydraulic convertible top pumps is currently $600 plus return shipping: http://www.tophydraulicsinc.com/en/w...ulic-pump.html.
