No, it's not a big job. Pretty straight forward, best I remember.

Re: [MBZ] 240D water pump?
Well met. I was just comparing the price on that to RockAuto (I have a new customer discount with them through the end of the year) though considering the closeness in price and Rock Auto having a shipping delay I'll probably be giving you a shout tomorrow. -Curt Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 14:59:41 -0500 From: "Rusty Cullens" Subject: Re: [MBZ] 240D water pump?

I'm an on-line seller and can tell you that most of my larger items are marked up by category / percent. I'd expect Rusty's model is similar. And in this case, a cheaper part = less margin.

Thanks Anthony, You want a pump with a cast iron impeller, not the stamped steel one! For sure confirm that! Be sure to see if your old pump has any core value. the factory pump cores with the "star' stamped on them are worth nearly as much as new after market pump Jim Friesen Phoenix AZ 79 300SD, 267 K miles 98 ML 320, 151 K miles ** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] 240D water pump
I would suggest you ask Rusty. Either send him an email today or use Instant Messaging on Monday - he'll be happy to help - just ask if he knows which lasts the longest. Likely they are comparable and the price is the only difference. Don't forget to buy a new gasket - they don't typically come with the pump.
