How do you wire the Bosch Intercooler Pump to work?
#21
I didn't have a connector or pigtail for the 010 pump so had to invent something. I've not heard of a source for a pigtail to connect this pump and have heard from other members that the 002 model has a different connector, so won't work.
If there is an easy source, then what you suggest would be WAY easier.

Hopefully that makes sense?

There are no wires on the Bosch pump at all, only the male side of the connector. And the other side of the harness is hard wired to the old pump.
I cut the wires off the old pump entirely and then spliced them to the new pump. The connection is using the original connector on the vehicle harness so the new pump unplugs and comes out, just as original.

connector and pins used
Donor Device (less connector now...)
I also made a new strap from some scrap stainless and added some rubber around the pump in addition to the original rubber mount since the Bosch pump is larger than the OEM one.

AZJag1999: You can just get the 230-540-00-81 plug but you'll still have to scavenge the pins from something else like I did above and put a little silicone glue in the back. The part you reference is only the plastic housing and does not come with the electrical connections. If you have some "pick it yourself" junkyards around you might be able to just go there and clip off everything you need from an old MB.

Thanks for the info.

I cant believe there isn't a pigtail plug for this pump. It seems everyone and their dog are upgrading to the 010 pump.Got my pump yesterday and dont want to botch the job , so it looks like a trip to MB , yuck,"hate those Germans, they bombed our chip shop":..lol.
Went to a parts store this morning , he threw a connectors book at me, yea ok. 40 odd two pin plugs that look like they "could" fit.
Id actually be interested to see what MB fit, probably the MB suggestion seen on here, plug and a bunch of pins.

I can't really tell if mine is working or not, I can't feel any coolant in the hoses? There is a slight vibration on the pump when the ignition is turned on though but it's barely noticeable. Are we sure that the pump works all the time? It doesn't make much sense to run all the time but only once the car has reached temp.

Correct wire colors
!. To confirm, the black/red tracer is positive and the brown/black is negative??
2. With the metal cap atop the Intercooler on top of the engine removed and the intercooler pump operating, you should see coolant flowing steadily through??
TIA

The pump had failed. Not sure why. I had a 10 amp fuse on like the original Hella unit but the new pump was 5 amp draw which could be the problem. It was an AVT pump which I have seen a few other people had problems with, I might just get the Bosch 010 unit instead as that should be more reliable.

My bonnet isn't opening now. The left latch opens the drivers latch doesn't. Cable has probably snapped or some ****, I swear this car will be the end of me. I have no idea how I'm going to open the bonnet, I tried pulling but it's not going anywhere, I read I will have to drill a hole in the wheel arch to get at the latch. Is there any other way? I think the caple has snapped because when I pull the latch it doesn't have as much resistance on it as it did previously.

When the hood cable snapped on my 2005 S-Type I was able to remove the splash guard panels underneath the bumper, then work a long screwdriver up to the latch and trip it by pushing the tip of the screwdriver in the correct direction. Going up through the fender well may indeed be your best approach on an XK8 / XKR....

Thicker and stronger hood latch cables would have prevented these issues. My now-sold S-Type hood cable issue occurred probably a decade ago. Ever since then, I have pulled very gently on the hood release handles on any Jaguar to try to ensure that I do not snap them. I have always yanked the hood release handle on my trusty 1999 Ram out of habit, but its cable is probably three times stronger than any Jaguar hood cable so I have never had a problem with it....
