High IATs

How you like them IATS 80f and 90% humidity today. All that from little 3 second bursts.

Is this for an SL55? IAT should be little more than 25 degrees above ambient. Yours suggest that you have a non-working charge-cooler pump. A new bosch 010 pump is about $110 shipped.

hope that helps,
Chris

no disrespect intended ... but
this is a PERFECT example of why it is frustrating to try and provide help when folks WONT indicate the year of their car. The R230 had many revisions during its run. The SL55 specifically had multiple scenarios for driving the charge cooler pump .... if you provided a production date for your car, I might be inclined to look into this for your .
Going forward, you (and anyone else who might be so kind) might want to consider adding the year info to your vehicles listed , this way it is clear to other members if solutions you have found may apply to their specific car and when you are looking for help you are far more likely to get useful assistance.



cheers,
Chris

rare to find a blown fuse for the charge cooler ... VERY common to find a bad pump . Even if it turns out that it is not the problem (highly unlikely) the 010 pumps more than the original , so you have upgraded in any case.

Chris
