Guys MB just priced me a water pump at £236.50 Inc VAT. They will then give me £35 back for the old pump on top.

Good deal or should I go after market (haven't decided if I should change pump yet)
 
For a genuine pump that isnt a bad price. The water pump on the m103 is not a simple job to do, so you wont want to be doing it again in a year or so because of a cheap part.
 
I'm doing the viscous clutch and tensioner at the moment so have everything out anyway only extra step is to remove water pump figured with no AC access doesn't seem so bad. Am caught in 2 minds though as water pump isn't leaking or anything so would be more for preventative maintenance.

I might just refit everything and see what the temps are like and if all is well leave it there untill there is actually a problem.
