What Does The Mercedes CLS55 Auxiliary Water Pump Do?
The Mercedes CLS55 auxiliary water pump keeps coolant moving through the system, especially when the main water pump isn't enough—like after shutting off the engine or during long stops. This steady flow helps prevent hotspots in the engine and keeps the cabin heater working as it should. If the pump isn’t doing its job, the heater may blow cold air at idle, and engine temps can spike after short trips or hard driving. While it may seem like a small part, its absence gets noticed quickly, particularly in winter or traffic. Keeping it functional goes a long way toward protecting both comfort and the engine’s health.
How Can You Tell If The Auxiliary Water Pump Is Failing?
Several clues point to a Mercedes CLS55 auxiliary water pump issue. The cabin heat drops off when you’re stopped, even when everything else appears fine. The engine can get hot fast once the ignition shuts off, leading to warning lights or even steam. Sometimes, you’ll hear the pump itself—grinding or whirring from near the engine bay. Leaks at the pump’s body or mounting spot can tip you off, too. Mechanics will often test the pump for power and coolant movement to confirm the cause. It pays to act sooner rather than later, as bigger problems can follow.
Is Replacing The Auxiliary Water Pump A DIY Job Or Should It Be Done By A Professional?
Swapping out the Mercedes CLS55 auxiliary water pump is possible at home, as long as your toolbox has the basics and you know your way around a cooling system. Many pumps are reachable without tearing down half the engine bay, but the work does call for care. Letting air into the system or spilling coolant everywhere can set you back more than you’d expect. If you’re not confident, booking time with a trusted mechanic is wise. Sometimes, that’s the best route to avoid headaches and keep your CLS55 running as it should.
What Causes The Auxiliary Water Pump To Fail In The CLS55?
The Mercedes CLS55 auxiliary water pump can give out for several reasons—age, wear on seals, motor failure, or trouble with wires and electrical connections. Old coolant turns thick and corrosive, wearing down internal parts. Lack of system flushes leads to buildup, and harsh running conditions force the pump to work harder. Sometimes, it’s not the pump’s fault—a failed relay or control unit interrupts its signal, making it look like the pump died. Simple checks and routine service often reveal these problems before a total breakdown.
How Much Does It Cost To Replace The Auxiliary Water Pump?
Depending on where you’re located and whether you pick an OEM or aftermarket pump, the cost for a Mercedes CLS55 auxiliary water pump lands between $150 and $400 for the part itself. Labor at a shop adds another $200 to $500, more if the job uncovers other issues. Many mechanics suggest a coolant flush or hose check at the same time, which can push the total up a bit. Shop around for quotes and ask about warranties—it’s the best way to cover all your bases.
