I sell 1 or 2 a month, so I would say they are prone to fail.

It's usually called the auxiliary water pump. I've owned five W123
turbodiesels and two normal diesels (W115 and W123), and driven well over
200k miles on these six vehicles. In total, I have replaced two aux.
pumps
in all that driving, so it's fair to say they are NOT prone to failure,
contrary to your statement. It's the main H20 pump that fails with
regularity.

No, not exactly...
There's an auxiliary hot water pump on the 123 chassis. It's electric
driven and flows water thru the cabin heat exchanger. It's located on
top
of the passenger front fender well.
It's prone to fail, with replacements costing almost 100 bux last time I
checked.
