Hi Guys.....

The PSE pump has been diagnosed as being faulty on my SLK230. My local MB dealer has quoted £450 to change it for a new one.

Can anyone give me some advice about replacing this unit myself? Where is the PSE pump located in a SLK? Is it a genuine MB part or can I buy it from another source (ie. Bosch, Lucas etc.)? Does it need setting up on a diagnostics machine or is it a simple part to replace? Where can I buy the part from (I am in the UK)?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks
Martin

 

the right price is 322.50 euro if you go buy it yourself.

replacing it is very easy. it can be done with the simple tools provided with your car.

almost all of them are already coded which is not necessary to use the computer upon replacement.

i never been in UK and doesn't know where to buy it.

it is located at the back:

Many thanks Sleepwalker, that should save me a bit of cash! I just need to find the part now.

 

Sleepwalker (or anyone who can answer the question!)

I have managed to source a secondhand PSE pump, will this present any problems with coding when I fit it to my car?

Cheers

if it comes from the same model as your car, no need for coding.

 

Still need some help here guys.....

I have sourced a secondhand PSE pump for my SLK230. It is from exactly the same model and year as my car but the part numbers are different.

The PSE pump on my car is part number 170 800 0548
The part number on the secondhand unit is 170 800 1248

I want to make sure they are the same part before I part with my hard earned cash, can anyone reassure me???

Thanks (again)

Martin

 

better give me your VIN.

i cannot find 05 or 12 either.

 

Thanks for your help Sleepwalker.

VIN # is WDB1704472F146551

the right latest part number is: A170 800 08 48.
price is 322.50 euro

you can also use the older number 02, 03, 04, 06.

cheers.

 

Owners of later models SLK 2003/4 are saying that the pump now is fitted upside down so the water can drain out of the 3 holes in the cover, gets round the water coming down the cables.
