Coolant on the driveway, temperature climbing, or a whine from the front of the engine? Those point at the water pump. This video covers the replacement on 1998-2013 Mercedes models: draining, belt removal, gasket sealing, and bleeding the system properly.
Applies across W203, W204, W210, W211, W212, W220, W221, W163, W164 and Sprinter.
Tip: never open the system hot, and always fit a new thermostat and coolant at the same time.

YOU SKIPPED LIKE 10 STEPS….
why on earth would you not name the model of the vehicle?
what a silly silly man
Thank u so very much:) Very Helpfull
Do u have to pull the thermostat and does fan have to come out ?
Can i replace just water pump pulley?
Geez I love YouTube…he knew exactly the bolt, under the water pump pulley, that I was struggling with…8mm socket worked perfectly
I love how he completely avoids telling us viewers what model this is.
Absolutely unbelievable.
Hello,my slk 230 had an accudent from the drivers side down below.Now is the radiator damaged and has a big dent on the bottom,but the radiator doesnt leak.Now i believe that the leak is coming from the waterpomp because it drips on the upperside of the belt.Is it possible that the waterpump start leaking because of the damaged radiator?
What would cause oil leak to the left of the water pump
What kind of bolt is at 3:57 ? Previous owner of vehicle broke that bolt and put in a crappy alternative. The alternative doesn’t fit and it’s leaking so I need the correct size pls
How can you tell if the water pump is going out?
Do you have a link to show what bolt goes where, size and location. Thanks
That engine has a serious oil filter housing gasket leak. I just replaced mine and went ahead and replaced other items in the front of engine too. I replaced the water pump, thermostat, idler pulley, belt tensioner, Egr gasket, shutoff valve gasket… Might as well do that maintenance. I love your videos.
ON the waterpump, all I did was took my new water pump and traced the borders and pulled the bolts out from stuck on the cardboard box I traced so I wont worry where which bolts goes.
Do you think that this is the cause that the hose get falling every time I put back ?
Terrific detail and great camera work! One quick question if you don't mind. Would you what the torque specs for the E10 and E12 bolts? I appreciate it.
Most clear and well explained video l. Thanks
