Full Throttle

I just want to express my thanks to my boy Eddie over at Benz Elite. I called Eddie at about 3pm on Friday, just before the holiday weekend. I needed my I/C Pump removed and my new Bosch installed in its place. The CLS55 Pump location is butter. It sits just under the front engine cover. The facility is beautiful and very clean. Exactly what you would expect to find in a shop that works on our cars. His staff was great to deal with very helpful and did a great job, Thanks again Eddie.

Also i was shocked to see how tiny the stock pump is, its no wonder why they fail so prematurely.

they are in Alexandria but agree with ya, Emil and Eddie are stand up guys, good prices and doing a good job!

Full Throttle

Oops i did mean Alexandria.

Karlson

I just figured out that you are also from DC metro area. We need to set-up a meet sometime next month, we got a LOT of members on this board!

Full Throttle

Sounds good to me!!

LOVEMYBS

Agree, lets meet. This time I won't be late. You may also want to consider meeting and showing your car to our wounded veterans at the Walter Reed Car Show in DC (shine and show) sponsored by the Greater Washington Section of the MB Car Club of America on Saturday October 10th from 10-2 PM. I'll be there with my CLK BS. Contact info is Janet McFarland at (703) 765-9405; janetmcfarland@earthlink.com.

Karlson

Thank you for info Sir! We should definitely consider that. I think a month in advance notice is more than enough for everyone to mark in there calenders and it will be for good cause after all!

Nice to here there is a good place to go that is local and not a stealership. I will be doing most of my own maint. but will take the beast in when i am short on time or when I think I may be getting in over my head.

Thanks!

Karlson

Welcome, where in Ffx are you at?

It's nice to hear that some shops are still doing things right

No way. Is that SERIOUSLY your stock pump?!?! No joke? It looks like a windshield washer pump. Am I missing something?

Full Throttle

That is the stock pump i was shocked myself.

Karlson,
I am about 50 feet North of Fairfax city. You?

Do people replace their pump as a precaution, or just wait till it fails. I feel like I should buy one and have it sitting on a shelf awaiting the day.

Full Throttle

My pump was dead. My car feels like it picked up 100hp since i changed the pump. Its a night and day difference. On the CLS55 the pump location makes the install a breeze.

iceman-kimster

nice.. do you guys know where the IC pump is on a E55?? is it easy to get to also?

Sunir

i'll try to make it, but my wife is due Oct 09.

Karlson

Just got back from Elite boys, Eddie told me that your new pump is huge I might install the same.

motorkas

Yeah - these guys are awesome - had my brakes done there about two months ago and couldnt have been happier. They are the ones who will be working on my car from now on. Count me in for the Walter Reed meet - this time I wont get the days confused.

Right next to Wegmans, on Monument Dr.
