2003-2004 Cobra intercooler pump replacement (video)

[xsellr8]

I just replaced my pump, and surprisingly didnt see many articles on how its done. Probably because its super easy, but anyway, here is my video for those interested.

Thanks for the vid, I didnt even know where the pump was located.

My replacement pump is on its way, so a huge thanks for the video! Very concise and nicely edited with only useful information.

One simple tip is to use something like this to pinch off the hoses connected to the pump prior to unhooking them:

or

If you are NOT replacing the coolant then these will keep the vast majority of the coolant in the system. Otherwise, they can greatly minimize that amount that spills/splashes all over by letting you direct the hoses into a bucket before releasing the clamps.

Thanks again for the excellent vid!

That's a neat tool. Thanks for showing me that.
