my pump needs viagra :(
ok guys my heat exchanger pump evidently can't get it up anymore....
popped the hood today look and my filler neck was pretty close to empty, mind you I swapped fluid about 3 weeks ago and checked it last week it was full and it good shape...
so I put some fluid in there and cranked it up and no movement...
beat on it, still no movement...
Where can I find one for cheap? I can't afford to drop $199 on one!
If it aint one thing its another.
Is this the OEM - i.e. plug and play?

yes its oem. I got a question for everyone...is that pump suppose to be running all the time when the car is running? or does it only come on at a certain temp? Cuz sometimes ill check under my hood...i wont see the flow going into the res. tank and then other times it will.
Very interesting, I have the Dual Pass with option B and when I originally put the 2nd tank on I noticed that it would squirt fluid into the bottle and was working properly. Now I noticed that its not squirting into the bottle. Does that mean my IC pump is bad and I need a new one? Cuz I'll let my car run for more than 10 seconds and still not see any activity in the 2nd tank.
since we r talking about pumps maybe someone can help me. I know the black part is the pump but what is to the left of it? I'll try and get a picture later when i get off work but there is a grey sphere type thing to the left of the black pump. I have a coolant leak coming from there, does anyone know what part im talking about. If u look into the engine bay, right below the rad hose u can see it at the bottom of the car, has some sport of tag/sticker on it.
If im not mistaken that is the seal that goes around the IC pump before you bolt and snug it down in place. Its a pain in the ass to get right when you do it by yourself cuz it never seems to want to stay in place. Someone plz correct me if I'm wrong.
i never touched this thing before, its been leaking ever since i got in a small car accident. Dealership must have not noticed it...they replaced the stock heat exchanger but not this part. So iiunno, like i said ill get a picture after work today
