Question Replacement Water Pump Needed

I did research on this forum about replacement water pumps and did not find my answer.

My 1986 560SEL needs a new water pump. What brand or brands of water pumps do you suggest? Pelican Parts sells Graf, Laso, and Meyle. FCP Euro sells a Febi Bilstein water pump.


Any thoughts about the best engine thermostats to purchase with a new water pump?

Graf is 100% perfect and the correct choice. That is the brand I always look for when I'm looking for a water pump for these cars. Mahle is the second, I buy Mahle anything in general.

Febi Bilstein is my second choice. Much of my cars are Febi Bilstein, I use the fluids, electronics, bushings, and specifcally SOLELY their belt tensioners which have been great.
