SL65 intercooler pump location

I searched and read everything I could find on replacing the intercooler pump on the SL65.

From all the reading it looks like it is supposed to be located on the passenger side for 2005 to 2006 SL65's. For 2007 it moved to the drivers side.

I have a 2005 but the only thing I see on the passenger side is a very small pump that looks nothing like the Bosch pump. On the drivers side though there looks to be the Bosch pump.

Is this correct?

I attached a couple pictures. The first is the passengers side and the next is the drivers side.

Thanks,

Jeremy

If you see it there, replace it. Doesn't matter what you read, unless it was in WIS, it's just hear-say and opinions.

Thanks AMG, I just went and did it. Not the easiest but not difficult either. All topped off with coolant and ready to try. I used the air lift vacuum to hopefully get it all the way full with no air in the system.

Thanks,

Jeremy
