Thinking about Kleemanizing it but problem

I have a c320 with everything AMG except the engine. I want to kleemanize it but I have one problem. I have a stationary heating system installed in my car and as far as I know, the kleeman electric water pump sits in the same place as the heater. THe heater is mounted below the right headlight behind the right fog light. My question is can the water pump be relocated? Are the hoses to the pump molded or flexible?

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question, but I'd suggest calling Kleemann directly in CO. They're really nice, and don't seem to mind answering random questions, even if you're not planning on bring it to them directly.

A decent shop can relocate the water pump for you without a problem.

Not a problem Sunman. True, the supplied water pump bracket will probably not work, but a clever tech. can easily modify that bracket to make it work on your car- easy. The hoses we use are not molded- they can be routed anywhere they need to go. There is always a solution.

You can also change the master cylinder to the braking system at the same time. AFAIK the AMG brakes have a different feel to C320 brakes even with the same calipers.
