Sounds like your having the same issues as I am. Good Luck. BTW the price on the pump from the warranty paperwork is about $2K plus some labor to install.
I am concerned as to why this pump keeps failing and what happens when I am out of warranty.........
So far so good with my 2nd new pump. Track was a blast and everything has been fine thus far. (crosses fingers).
thanks for the update.

Gotta ask yourself what kind of driving pattern do you go through everyday ??
The worst kind of conditions for the ACD is actually traffic light launch, slow down and accelerate types ..
The stupid thing is .. these wear items are not replaceable .. you gotta fork out $$$ to replace the entire assembly when it's only certain things inside that needs replacement ..

It is an electric motor .. what do you expect if the motor works almost all the time?? The brushes will wear off eventually ..

I have a 2005 with the 10 year 100,000 on the powertrain, does anyone know for sure if the ACD pump classifies as "powertrain components" ?
Thanks

Hi everbody, I live in Switzerland, Europe.
We are 3 friends, Evo VII owners (and lovers), to have the same problem : when it's hot outside (30°C, 86°F), the 3 lights come on...
MUT II says "pump failure".
I made some tries, in fact the max pressure is down to 11-12 bar, and should be at 16 or more.
After some researchs, here is what I've found :
Here in Switzerland the pump is sold at 4'500 CHF, about 3600$, 2000 GBP, 3000 Euros...
I've foud a new one at www.japancars.com, exactly half the price, all included (port, insurance, customs, ...) !!!
Jeller, how much did your pump cost, do you know it ?
Other people, do you know the price of the pump ?

You can manually diagnose the trouble code. Simply when the 3 lights come one, take a wire and put it into pin 1 of the OBD connector (top left) and ground it. Count the amount of times the light blinks and it will give a code.
