Hi!

So I have owned the SRT now for two weeks and have absolutely loved it so far. Beautiful car inside and out. Owner before me put the 65mm SC pulley on as well as performed a Eurocharged tune. Love the performance.
‘However, I noticed sometimes car starts feeling sluggish out of nowhere. Can basically push the throttle down and hardly anything happens. I live in Florida and it can get quite hot obviously. Car has 25K miles on it.
When it’s sluggish, it might work again fine a little while later. Is this the dreaded Intercooler pump? Or could this be anything else? No codes or anything.

Thanks for your help forum!

Sounds like your intercooler pump has failed. Easy fix, just replace it.

 

It's the pump. Extremely common issue, but also very easy to change out.

 

Are there instructions on how to change it? I have no idea how to "bleed" the system etc if that's what required here. Also what pump do I order?
Thanks for the help!

my OEM pump failed in my srt6 under 20,000 miles, these are the new updated ones that don't fail

in stock, can ship tomorrow and help troubleshoot the car if necessary with you.

 

Do NOT underestimate the value of this last statement, folks. You're not going to get that from a big box retailer. Support our vendors wherever possible!

 

I did not need to bleed system after I changed my pump. Just make sure you clamp both lines before removing them. If I recall correctly, I only lost around a half cup of antifreeze.

Definitely buy your pump from Rob at NeedsWings! He is a valuable resource for us. He promptly replies to emails and walked me through an issue I was having. SAVED ME BIG $

 

Rob I'm super sorry. I should have went with you guys but didn't see that untill now. Had ordered from FCP Europe. I will order from you again in the future.
Can you advise if I at least ordered the correct pump (see picture)

 

Yes that is the correct one.
