Checking the hear exchanger...
I just backup up the failed pump claim last night. Was pushing it a bit to get it to replicate the problem. After i lost power i pulled over, opened the bonnet and felt the heat exchanger behind the bumper. Stone cold. So then i went to touch the charger. Well lets say that you could cook a couple of good steaks on there.
Merc Dealer have it on Monday as its under a 3 month warranty.

Well i dropped it off to the dealer this morning. I gave them the following list:
Lost power blah blah blah water pump.
Diff clunk when in slow traffic and on off brake
Windscreen wiper bounces on windscreen when operating
Supercharger idler puller and belt look worn and like ****.
We will see what comes out of it today.

^^^^ i know.
I just had a call from the dealer. What would you know, the blower water pump is gone. They have ordered the part and keeping it overnight.
No word on the other issues.

Tell them a few times it wouldnt start right away and it just turned over. Tell them you researched and you think your crank position sesnsor is going bad. Not super expensive but it will go bad and leave you stranded. Have them check the fuel pump as well. I had both replaced with my CPO just for good measure. Maybe someone can chime in on anything else.

Guys,
Instead of starting a new thread i thought i'll just ask in here. What are the options regarding upgrades of the cooling system. Are there kits available?
Also where is the best location to get a constant swicthable feed to run the pump full time?
I have searched but there is so much to filter through i cant spend that much time reading at work.
Thanks
Adrian
