Mercedes E55 AMG | Bosch 010 IC Pump DIY

[@andrewwang8204]

Great vid. Just performed the exact job that you did on my 2005 E55 and there were a few things that could be better explained. - I recommend a specialized clip remover. Just find it at harbor frieght for 20 bucks. These clips are incredibly stiff and using pliers to take it off is nigh impossible. - For the bleeding part, you will need to clamp up the return hose (there are two hoses close to the bleeding location, clamp the upper hose.) If you don't do it, no fluid will be going thru the pipe at all. - You want to use a slightly larger flex pipe than the one in video. It didn't fit over my bleeding system so I have to go a size up. - Finally, a easier way to do the power the pump would to take off the relay and hack something together with a 10A fuse. Break the fuse and short the two holes fatter connector on the bottom most relay in the fuse box. Then you don't even need to turn on the auxiliary power to run the pump. It just goes and let it bleed for upwards of 10 whole minutes. I was getting foamy coolant for all that time. There is a forum post that I followed and I forgot what it was :(.

[@pschroeterps]

Thanks for this and couldn't agree more, those Merc coolant hose clamps are painful to open and especially keep open to slide them away. Also blocking the return line is vital. I actually found out how to activate the pump via Xentry but with return line blocked starring the engine and hitting it with 1500rpm will do as well. Thanka for sharing!

[@pschroeterps]

Thanks for the excellent tutorial, used this when I replaced my pump which was from 2002 and completely disfunctional with this Bosch 010 version. I couldn't get the pump to actuate with Xentry nor was I able to power it up due to the close proximity of the contacts so I put everything back together and did not bleed the system. It seems to have self bled and runs perfectly fine for 3.000km now with much reduced temperatures. My car is a 2005 E55 Wagon.

[@andrewwang8204]

Sick car dude. I always wanted the wagon but those are too far beyond my budget so a sedan will have to do for me.

Can you explain detail on where you connect 12 volt on the ic pump?

[@arianalbazi3315]

@@acrepairnearme Did it by taking two wires from the aux battery under the air filter and the pump went on and I could bleed the system 😃

[@BMWhips]

The heat exchange cooler under the supercharger sits in the valley of the m113k engine. you can have the best IC pump - the separate system w massive front mount and the cooler will still be constantly fighting to stay cool & cool the hot boosted air. one good way to fix this problem is to insulate around the cooler (requires removal of supercharger to do however when done properly it dramatically lowers the Intake temps and also prevents massive heat soak. I do it with my stage 5 RENNtech + and see awesome power results from much lower Intake temps.. especially if you have a chem heat exchange system running from the A/C like i do for summer... good quality you did a great job.

[@AMGmeister]

Thank you! also thanks for the tips.

[@martinhuusfelt1783]

Splitting the IC is the way to go, with new pump mine was like all others 15 and above after the split engine compartment AIT lowered to 7 Degrees but what is crazy is the Re-Generation time WUUT and NO Heat Soak anymore is like having a new car, new engine 220Kmh and it pulls like a fk freight train what a change NICE Huge thanks to VRP Speed.com you Guys are Awesome.Running my IC with destilled water + Water Wetter did the trick for me, winter I swap to coolant

[@scooby1361]

MH did you do the install yourself? Are there any DIY Vids for the procedure? Also what package is it on VRP? I'm looking in the cooling section now. Thank you for the help!

[@martinhuusfelt1783]

scooby1361 Yes was a bit of a PITA LOL but if u can remove fanshroud do it and buy some large hose clamps to avoid spilling DIY AT mbworld I added logging before and after in The last pages im SuperChargerE55:) msg me I also added pictures of The hoses clear pictures mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/404820-diy-split-ic-video-picture-instructions.html and vrpspeed.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_101&product_id=188 check also www.projectb5.com/product/pb5-m113k-amg-self-bleeding-split-cooling-kit got a nice kit only if in us the shipping price was a bit :) living in Sweden nb have some extra cooling

[@15juliop15]

What's a normal temperature the intake manifold should be running at. I'm about to change my intercooler pump cause I think it's faulty. I'm seeing upto 50c at times and when it's cool outside and driving normal, low 30s Celsius

[@ParthPatel-zy4pg]

The cl55 has a return line from the sc to the coolant tank, therefore I’m assuming I can skip the bleeding stage since it is self bleeding...is that correct?

[@alexjaffebil]

What is the indication that the pump has failed?

[@johndevenny6723]

Alex thanks to you I have done the supercharger oil change. Now looking to replace the I/C pump. My question to you is do I have to bleed the system? Can i not run the engine and keep eye on coolant level? Having difficulty wiring the tiny pins without bending them???

[@Rmr2turbo]

Can you post the part # for the bracket and rubber insulator. Thanks!

[@skullofserpent5727]

watched with pleasure!

[@WatchoutNSG]

Did you replace the pump because it went bad or is it more fficent, its the exact same pump it looks like, will it offer better cooling for the engine, i have a 100kmile cls55 amg and my heat range is always balanced in the middle never raises, thanks, and great vid!

[@JESUS_IS_GOD]

If I don't bleed the system would the air eventually bleed itself out somewhere eventually? Please advice I don't know if I can jump IC relay as I don't know where or which one it is...thanks. 2005 E55 AMG.

[@PANZERSGARAGE]

awesome doing this today! cheers

[@tweedledee5850]

What clamps are you using? Just tried this with regular spring clamps and coolant was still coming out the hosea

[@eindhovenlu]

hello can a renewed secondary air pump break down again in 17,000 km?

[@karpetcm]

sticking the hose to bleed the air I would think its not necessary. If you leave it connected and just uncap the coolant reservoir since its at a higher point it will bubble in there once it stops to bubble you can close the cap and call it a day. I've bled the system out that way on a couple of cars and had no issues. Then again it worked for me and I'm not a mechanic so I would have to look into this as well.

Hi are there any cons to swapping this pump out? I just bought a crash damaged 2003 E55 that Im restoring and I'm just wondering if its worth doing while im in there?

[@johndevenny6723]

Greetings from Ireland. Hope youre all ok over there in these crazy times. 2006 CLS55AMG finally getting round to fitting the Bosch 010 pump. Getting heatsoak after extended WOT runs. Heat exchanger stone cold. Only thing i wasnt happy about was how to run the pump. HOWEVER just watched your video on the heat exchanger job. You used a wire in the 2 vertical slots for the relay on the sam in trunk left hand side. Looks like 87 and 30 on the Hella relay wiring. This is the only thing I need to get right before attempting this job. Id really like your opinion on this. Thanks AMGmeister

[@siwon66]

Hello, I have 06 E55 and after some driving, car stutters and lose power as if it's going into a limp mode. It was a scary feeling, I thought the car was going to stole or break down. Will IC pump replacement fix this issue? Car seems to run fine after cold start but happens after a long drive. Please help!

excellent video of of the most well done ive seen on any of the mbworld DIY's... question - with the new pump, what are your IATs running from above ambient temps farenheit? plus 20 farenheit above ambient or more? thx

[@AMGmeister]

I'll have to get a data logger. Maybe I'll make a future video about that. Thanks!

[@martinclk1280]

Aprox 15 degrees while moving, that and ur regeneration time is what we want be fast from the new pump. Split the system and u get a even faster regeneration time much faster :)

[@johndevenny6723]

Hi Alex, John in Ireland with cls55. Looking at the install for I/C waterpump. I notice you pull off rubber hose from the back of old pump (where power connection is). I notices that the metal nipple had a hole in it. But the new 010 pump doesn't have a hole in it. I googled pictures of that new pump and NO hole in it. Can you explain please? Thank you very much for helping me Alex!

[@AMGmeister]

Just a change in design where they eliminated the hole. Just plug the hose over it. Mercedes themselves later switched to this pump so it's perfectly oem.

[@johndevenny6723]

AMGmeister Thank you very much. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Now I did oil change tonight. Exactly what you put on your video clip. I added 8.4 litres measured exactly. Ran her up to temperature. Did the measure oil level. Read 7.3litres. But I know I added 8.4L. I intend to run car for a week and check again? Do I need to reset oil level reader? Oh, s/c cutting in fine, just 2 occasions in 3 weeks ownership. I guess pump is underperforming as you say. Will it affect the operating temperature of the engine. Currently sits steadily just above 80degrees Celsius? Really sorry to bother you Alex. This car is a big step for me! Regards from Ireland

hello there...nice video...i am into buying a e55 amg...i have read that they have this O ring problem at the oil pump....my question is do all the models have this problem or only the early models????i hope you can answer me this while is the only thing tha holds me back on buying one of this beasts....keep the good job...

[@PleasantAutomotive]

Not my video but as an E55 owner I know what you are speaking of. That was, to my knowledge, a one time event posted by a rather fastidious owner. His is the only incident that I'm aware of and I'm certainly not bothered with the idea of tearing down my engine to replace that seal. I'm Mercedes Benz trained and not bothered in the least by the seal. I bought mine because it was completely unmolested and had 65K miles. I enjoy the car very much but if I were to do it again I'd buy a well modified E55 from a smart owner who did the job right. You'll end up with an even faster car and no headaches.

Has English text all the way, what is the problem? Anyone should be able to do this by following the video & text even without the text very simple process - And one small hint, no need to have a 12 volt battery but simply jump the IC Pump in trunk remove the IC pump relay, done it so many times dont even need to have key in the ignition BUT DO NOT DRIVE WITH IT it will trigger Limp-Mode. Is not ment to be a trick for pump always on.

MRBADASS The IC Pump relay is in the back (trunk) I just used a wire but a paper clip will do as well I'm sure if it. read this link in the bottom of the thread is a picture u will see him using a yellow wire with a fuse on it but is just extra precautions. it will start as soon as u jump it no key needed in ignition :) mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/652802-2006-e55-ic-intercooler-pump-replacement-notes.html#PhotoSwipe1497839748820 And is not a stupid question at all, better be sure than take unessecary risk so don't worry always welcome asking, good luck with it I done this 10 times lol because I just splitted mine should have done that I'm ago time ago AIT is only 10 above now sometimes 15 but the regeneration time is amazingly faster than none splitted = no more heat soaking :)
