I found this forum yesterday and after searching around I confirmed my assumption that the supercharger in my girlfriend's 2005 SRT6 Roadster was shutting off from time to time. I discussed this with her yesterday and told her that the intercooler pump needed to be replaced. She has only had the car for maybe 6 to 8 weeks and purchased an extended warranty with it.

Here is the problem, she contacted several chrysler dealerships in the area and no one really knows anything about these cars. The one person that thought they knew something, told her that the intercooler pump was part of the supercharger and that they would need to replace the entire supercharger ($7000). I know this is not the case, the pump can be replaced by itself for a few hundred dollars.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend to me where to take her crossfire to get this problem resolved that was in my area. I believe she needs to find someone to confirm this problem before she can get her warranty honored.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Bump........someone help this guy out....before some dealership screws the car up.....also, it can be the IC temp sensor, but I will bet it is the pump...

 

search for an independent m/b mechanic in your area. or try the m/b dealer

 

they have a warrantee.....needs to be a Chrysler dealer with a XF Certified mechanic on staff...

 

You can ship it to us in NJ, you wouldn't be the first owner from VA to do it.

 

Wow, I did not know that you owned a Chrysler dealership with a Crossfire Certified mechanic on staff. Do you guys do a lot of Chrysler warranty work?

 

Call up Koons Chevrolet of Tysons. They are located in Norther VA only an hour drive from you. They have(had) a Crossfire tech when I had my rear differential replaced two years ago. They do good work and are reputable. Definitely check with them and see if they still have a crossfire tech.

 

What i would do is buy this pump

Bosch Electric Intercooler Pump 317GPH 12V 0392022002: eBay Motors (item 350353417472 end time Jun-11-10 11:20:20 PDT)

and have the dealer install it if possible, much better than the oem pump. Its the same pump the SVT Ford vehicles use and Ive never heard of anyone having a problem

 

Where in Richmond are you located, I am in the East End (Varina) Henrico County. Take it to or call Whitten Brothers Chrysler on Midlothian Turnpike, they have 2 certified Crossfire techs. This is where I use to take my Roadster Limited and never had an issue (especially with warranty work) ask to have the car looked at by David Zahn (Tech #386) he is a knowledgeable and diligent certified Crossfire Tech and he will treat the car as if is his own. David is the ONLY Tech that has worked on my Roadster Limited from day one and I have never had an issue or problem, the service writers there are also great.
