Hydraulic Pump - Cadillac XLR - 2003-2009
There are two options for placing your order:
1. (Most affordable) You send in your malfunctioning Cadillac XLR Hydraulic Pump, and Top Hydraulics rebuilds it.
- The rebuild includes electric motor replacement or rewinding if necessary, service of hydraulic valves, and upgrade of internal seals in the pump to eliminate current or future pressure loss or internal bypass. Three years warranty.
OR
2. (Fastest) Expedited Core Exchange Option where Top Hydraulics ships parts from our inventory first
($950 plus a $800 Refundable Core Charge).
- Option 2 means that you get a rebuilt & upgraded pump from Top Hydraulics' inventory first, then you ship back your original part for credit of your $800 core refund. Top Hydraulics ships the pump filled with fluid for plug-and-play installation. You get a pump that has been rebuilt to outlast and outperform OEM replacements.
P/N: 88958028
Cadillac XLR Top Lift Pump Assembly p/n 88958028. The pump return ships filled with fluid. Please be sure to drain all fluid from your original pump and put plenty of absorbent material around the hydraulic line ports (where you pulled out the sixteen hoses) in order to soak up any residual fluid. Wrap in one or more large plastic bags, buffer your parcel well, and we sure to have a sturdy package. These pumps are hard to replace, so you don't want yours getting lost in shipping to us. Remove the mounting brackets.
We do not currently offer core exchange of XLR pumps to international customers - please use our rebuild option instead, where you send us your pump first.
This core exchange option is currently available only for shipments within the US, to US customers. International customers, please send us your pump first for rebuild service, see our separate listing for regular rebuild service.
* there may be a surcharge for unusual damage from abuse, such as DIY repair attempts or fires, missing parts, or parts seriously damaged during transport. A shattered reservoir will cost you an extra $200, because it is not available from GM any more. A corroded motor does not incur a surcharge.
We service the electric motor, wiring harness, temperature sensor, noise suppression circuitry, clutch, rotating pump assembly, internal valves and electric solenoids. Of course, we replace and upgrade the internal seals in the pump. We make sure that all internal components are to spec, and replace any worn internal parts. The pump goes through extensive testing after the rebuild. It may not look as pretty as a brand new one, but we are certain that the inside of the pump is better than new - rebuilt and upgraded to last longer and exceed factory specs.
This pump return ships via FedEx 2-Day Service with signature required.
The hydraulic pump unit is located under the LH taillight, inside the trunk. It is easy to swap. The hydraulic system also utilizes two main hydraulic cylinders 88957085, two deck lid cylinders 88957088, and three tonneau cylinders 88957086. One latch cylinder 88957089 is used to latch the hard top with the header.
The hydraulic pump is comprised of a pump block, fluid reservoir, and a 12-Volt DC electric motor. The fluid reservoir (with level indications on the side) is attached to the pump with a hose clamp. Cadillac recommends that you use Univis HVI 26 hydraulic fluid. Here at Top Hydraulics, inc. we use FeBi 02615 fluid in all of our hydraulic systems.

For Customs clearance, you must declare a value on the package you are sending us. Please note: parcels with a declared value under US$750 enter the US without incurring taxes, duties or clearance fees. Considering that you are sending us broken parts for repair, it is most reasonable to declare a value under US$750. You can insure your parcel only up to the amount that has been declared as the value for customs, so your best insurance is good packaging. It is extremely rare that parts get lost on the way to us.
Please be sure to drain or cycle all fluid out of your parts, then wrap them in plastic, so that the parcel does not get soaked in oil. It is generally a good practice to double box pumps or sets of cylinders because heavy parcels take quite a beating in international transit unless you are using a premium carrier such as FedEx. Clearly, you don't want to just stick a part into a cardboard envelope without any further protection or buffering. Buffer your parcel well inside so that parts don't rattle around or the parcel gets crushed from others on top of it. Ideally, tape all around all surfaces of the parcel, which generally provides excellent protection against losing components that are trying to escape through small holes in the cardboard.
We use FedEx International Priority for almost all outbound international shipments, as they tend to offer the fastest and most secure service. Due to our shipping volumes, our rates for return shipping your parts via FedEx International Priority are typically equal to or cheaper than Postal Service. We cannot offer shipping labels for your shipment from you to us - you will have to shop around for the best option to ship your parts to us.
In the rare event that you feel you have to declare a value over US$750 on your parcel shipping to us, please understand that we will need to be reimbursed for any importation fees or duties incurred. You agree to this by accepting our terms and conditions when you place your order. On high value parcels, we are typically charged an Entry Prep Fee (currently about $25) plus 2.5% tax on the declared value of the package, there are oftentimes delays in customs, and it can take a while for us to receive the actual customs invoice.
Depending on the parts you are sending us, your customs declaration might say "hydraulic cylinder for repair" or "hydraulic pump" for repair. Please note that DHL does not like to carry hydraulic parts or used car parts in some countries. If your carrier asks for the "harmonized code or tariff" of the parts you are shipping, those are 841221 for linear actuators (cylinders) and 841360 for pumps.
At Top Hydraulics, we pride ourselves on providing new and remanufactured parts with unmatched quality and longevity.
It is very rare that our parts fail. Obviously, we are only human and we could have made a mistake or one of our components might indeed have had a hidden defect. Please contact us first when you suspect that you have a warranty case, so that we can try to help right away. It could be that the failure you are experiencing is caused by a different component or that the installation was not quite proper, so we like to be in touch first to go over the situation with you.
Unless stated otherwise, there is a 3 year warranty on all new and remanufactured parts provided by Top Hydraulics. This warranty is transferable. All parts manufactured or rebuilt by Top Hydraulics have unique markings, so there is no additional paperwork needed to transfer a warranty. The warranty does not cover labor, direct or consequential damages. The warranty is void when the parts have been abused or have been installed incorrectly, or when brake fluid or stop-leak additives have contaminated your hydraulic system..
You will have to send your failed part(s) back to Top Hydraulics for a warranty evaluation. In the extremely rare case of failure on rebuilds or new parts shipped or provided by Top Hydraulics, Top Hydraulics' warranty covers only parts and is limited to rebuilding the products previously shipped by Top Hydraulics, or replacing them, or refunding the rebuild fee at Top Hydraulics' discretion. If the failure was our fault, then we will refund reasonable shipping costs, as well.
