why your new ABC pump blow short time after change
when change your ABC pump , and it does not last long, the reason is that mecanic mix up bolt nr. 400 and bolt nr. 410 on this drawing, i read many post that people have blown pumps after short time changed pumps. IF MIX up this 2 bolts that look simular for anybody that take them off, and fit them back in wrong place, the pump will last short time. If ask Mercedes mecanic, they dont even know this is the issue why some pump last short time.

thats another case, but if mix up this 2 bolts up, and is easy do it. BOLT nr. 400 in picture, is bigger diameter inside, and it connected direct on the pump.
