A250 (W176)
The water pump has started to whine on my 2013 A250 (W176). Does anyone have a guide on how best to replace this and whether it's doable without having to jack up the engine?

In addition, what recommendations are there for a high quality aftermarket manufacturer (or OEM) for a replacement water pump?

It is a bit fidly to replace it as its right at the bottom of the engine but you'll have to loosen o/s engine mount and remove rear engine mount too to lower engine more for access, I believe mercedes still do exchange ones and aren't too expensive
 
I’ve changed only one, but it doesn’t stick in my mind as being particularly difficult

Thanks for the reply. Do you recall whether it's doable without lowering the engine? Any engine in/out jobs I tend to shy away from on the driveway.

Nah you don't need to remove engine and it is very doable on the driveway, you just need to lower drivers side of the engine enough for access. Where are you based ?

That's good to hear. I've always worked on our own cars, but have never had the pleasure of lowering an engine. That combined with no obvious source of guidance (YT / manual write-up), makes me a bit more apprehensive taking this on. We seem to be based in a similar location :).
