Hi all
Look like my Om651 s204 c250cdi water pump has started to leak. I noticed the aux belt was a bit noisy after being started in the mornings. After checking I noticed water droplets on the edge of it and I could see a faint trickle mark down the front of the water pump behind the pulley and small amounts of water around the area. So I am pretty sure it's started to fail.
My question is are after market pumps ok? With mercedes dealers being closed, I need to get the car sorted so I can take regular supplies to my elderly mother.
Is it OK to get one from euro car parts?
Can any body give me a ball park figure what an independent garage would charge to fit this?
Cheers
