Thanks a lot Halcyon - did you have to tap / drill / thread any holes on the Graf pump? I read a post that 2 mounting holes on the Graf pump were not tapped and you had to do that and have tools to do so.

If you have replaced your Water pump, which new pump did you go with? GRAF, MEYLE, MB OEM?

Seems many of you have done the GRAF pump which can be bought from RM European for like $60 bucks with 1 year warranty. FCP offers the MEYLE for around $85 with life time replacement warranty And MB OEM Parts site offers a remanufactured MB pump #112-200-05-01 for $147 plus $65 core charge with 1 year warranty. Am leaning towards the GRAF which many guys have used or MB remanufactured as I will be doing this job my self and dont care to replace it again in 2 years.

Here's some links to the different pumps and vendors... appreciate any feedback before I buy the new pump. thx john

I went ahead and ordered a Genuine MB OEM Remanufactured-Water Pump #112-200-15-01-80 for $147 bucks that also requires a core water pump return otherwise the cost increases by $65. I didnt want to deal with having to drill/thread holes like i heard about with some of the other pumps from Meyle or Graf since i'm doing this job myself and dont want to buy more tools for just this one project. Will report back on how the install goes
