Replacement waterpumps for W124

[grober]

Has anyone any experience of replacement water pumps for the 111.961 series twin cam 4 cylinder engines. Mercedes are wanting about £200 for a reconditioned one (new no longer available evidently) ECP are out of the OEM SPEC one and list cheaper replacements by CIRCOLI and KWP neither of whom I have heard of ??? Does anyone know what make GSF stock? I know Febi Bilstein do one PART NO 05377 Are they any good? Any other reliable makes anyone can suggest?

I believe you still get the full 2 year warranty whether pump is reconditioned or new.

Listed at £168 with 10% discount on Inchcape parts site.

Probably free delivery for that part.

Phone the people.

I would much prefer to fit a Merc reconditioned part than some aftermarket copy part.

It WILL likely last another 12/13 years at least, so if your car is a keeper (and even if not) it IS a good selling point when you can show all the Merc incoices to the buyer.
