new 010 IC pump help
I need some help. New to the e55 world. I have an 05 e55 completely stock. After lots of reading I chose to upgrade the IC pump to a bosch 010 as a precautionary measure. In the process of changing the pump, the clamp fell off and I lost some of the coolant. After reassembly, I started car, let it reach temps took it for a drive, returned home followed bleeding procedure. The coolant reservoir is still full and I did not see a lot of air bubbles.
What am I overlooking, I know I lost a lot of coolant, but the reservoir is still full. Car seems to run fine but know I need to replace the coolant.
I did not power up the new pump after install, I assume it would automatically come on when the car was running at temp.
what am I missing?

Did you beat on it enough to get the temps high enough to turn pump on? Do you have a split system witha remote reservoir?
Have you considered wiring it to be on when key is switched to position 2?

I took the rubber cap off the metal tube on the pass side that runs to the IC, ran a clear line from it to the reservoir and ran the car for 15 min.
I also took the car out for longer harder run and car still seem to run fine. The HE is about outside temp to the touch. from what I could tell I would say the contents of the HE leaked when i was changing the pump.
thanks

Found it:
to refill you just add some to the reservoir. take that cap off and run a clear hose to the reservoir, poer up the pump and watch it flow. you shouldnt lose much coolant in this process, just a bit that will come out when you take the cap off. you can also put a vice grip right below that bleed nipple to circulate all of the coolant in the system out into the reservoir......that is what mercedes dealer system advises.
And:
if you are looking under your hood...
passenger side, in front of the supercharger. there are two hard metal lines right next to each other, one has a rubber cap on it with a clamp. that is the bleed nipple, uncap it and put a clear hose on it, route the hose to the expansion tank. use a vice grip to block off the rubber hose right after the bleed nipple, power up the pump and you will see coolant flowing to the expansion tank.
I don't know if this is required or not but some guys found it useful when bleeding the system.
Can anyone confirm?
