S/C pump Fail Poll
My 04 is reaching high temps and losing power. I have 56k miles. My question is, when did your pump fail and how did the car feel after it was replaced?

Something better than the almighty CM30
Here's a pic to show the difference.

About 30k for me and then two more times with the cm30 after only 500 miles each time.. I now have 8k on this Bosch pump..

One pump failure on 40,000 miles 2004 SL55 and changed my 2006 CLS55 22000 miles just as precaution.
Tested my original CLS pump, it flowed half the capacity of a new CM30.

yes. That is why I have a massive Code 3 HE which is twice as big as the C3 HE for the E55. Yes you will need both a high capacity HE. Best is bar and plate design over tube and fin. A chiller resevoir is also highly recommended but not required.

i was gonna post the same thing,You DONT want a pump that pushed to fast,you need the coolant pass thru at a rate at which it maximises (SP) the cooling effects of the heat exchanger,if it passes thru to fast it will not cool as well.

19k miles is when my 55 pump was out and I wasn't a member of the forum and had no idea what was the issue. I was so upset that after a few or just 1 full throttle run my s/c would turn off. When it did turn back on it wasn't running on full power.
I raced so many times with that failing pump which was resulting to so much frustration that I started doing everything I can to figure out what was going on. Thats when I found MBWORLD ! I figured out the problem ordered a CM30 and installed it and I love the results. Supercharger never turns off and it feels strong all the time. I actually ordered another 1 that I have ready for when this is ready to go

My pump has NEVER failed. This leads me to believe that the previous owner may have upgraded the pump. What is the easiest way for me to tell to see what kind of pump I am running?

The caveat is don't add a highflow pump without a big HE.

Dropped the car off this am and just got a call from the service guy saying that they ordered the part and the car will be done tomorrow. Can't wait to see what the car feels like.

changed mine tonight,hopefully its bled well.
My temps the other day were just climbing and
climbing and on a short 3rd gear pull to 100 it hit
198*,it was about 80* outside.
tonight with the new factory one installed it cruised at 95-100*
and hit 128 on a 3rd gear pull to 125.
so it definetly is change.

I take this back. It finally failed several times today during a cruise. It felt like the car was in neutral. However, I did notice one thing....it was either ON or OFF. No in between or 1/2 power feelings. Time for a new pump!
