"hothbl, sounds like you are the first person on the planet to delve into the mysteries of the C32 fuel delivery pump! I suppose this is a sign that they're not failing often. Were you able to repair the module you opened? I hope so as that second pump in the module triples M-B suggestion retail price. My dealer sez it will cost $1,200, vs. $460 for a C320 "delivery unit". That should be able to fix a lota' innards! Is there room in there to upgrade a C320 pump for C32 engines? Anyone know if the C55 and C63 also use a double pump module to ensure sufficent fuel for the regulator (in the filter) with pedal to the metal? Might be a repair service worth perfecting. I'll be customer #1."
Response to this thread has been zero. Are there any AMG gearheads elsewhere on MBWorld that can add to the thread or Solols's questions?
