Two Water Pumps?
I'm checking Mercedes parts for my Crossfire here at my desk (at work!). I noticed that Mercedes lists two types of water pumps for the SLK320. One has two outlets and the other has three. I assume that the 3-outlet type is for the supercharged engine, the third outlet probably for an oil cooler. So I assume that the 2-outlet type can be used on a NA Crossfire. Can anyone verify? Am I assuming correctly?

Re: Two Water Pumps?
Yea, it's one or the other. I sure cant remember because, so far, I've not had to change one.
It's mentioned in a thread in one of the tech sections here. |

When I got the SRT I swapped it for another part as I could no longer keep it as a spare. Surely one pump is for the SLK320 and the other for the SLK32? Get a good after market pump or a Bosch after marker pump and not one with the Mercedes part number on it as they cost a lot more. The SRT pump and SLK32 pump cost half as much again as the NA equivalents from what I see. |

the slk320's used both water pumps, depending on whether the car got the oil cooler or not.

I ask cause I'm trying to educate myself on the SRT as I'm having "SRT Feelings" after three N/A Roadsters. |

If I had looked at my SLK320/32 parts list it would have totally confused me as it is none too specific, four water pumps listed.:confused: |

So, was that a factory option?

Get an SRT now the prices of the good ones are not dropping as fast as the NAs from what I see. Maybe what you really need is a V8, two people with them would sell for the right price. |
