Needing a water pump W460 230G (1982)
Hi all, can some one help or point me in the direction to acquire a water pump for my 230G. I've really been out of the loop, so any help is appreciated to ge tmy G back on the road. Cheers, Jeff
If you are sourcing from Malaysia you could look into a saloon's model water pump it could be the same. Yours would be either an M115 or M201 engine or is it an M102, one of those anyway. From Motor Factors or Mercedes Benz Dealer.
If you are expecting to source from the UK then:
Euro Carparts - https://www.eurocarparts.com/
German & Swedish Factors - https://www.gsfcarparts.com/
Mercedes Benz Parts on line - https://www.mbonlineparts.com/
Parts from here to supply year of manufacture, Engine number, Chassis No, Make and Model Type are useful and practical.
You could try that but part numbers are not always stampted on parts. I also think the factors would be able to supple given your vehicle details.
Been here and done this twice for a 1988 230GE. After a lot of pain and suffering on both occasions I ended up with an original MB water pump. Expensive but so is the time and trouble trying to fit a pump the will not fit!
From the photograph I think I can see a part number embossed on the old water pump. That might help Mercedes or a motor factor in Malaysia source a new replacement.
Take care with Eurocarparts - the two pumps they sent did not fit. The good news is they took them back and refunded my money without any problems.
Sorry, without chassis number AND engine number in your case, can not be of any further help.
Hello Jeff
Part No: 1152030073 is for a Thermostat Housing and not the water pump.
My enquiries show that the water pump part number is somewhat A1152000020.
Mercedes will not give me the part number but I am currently waiting a responce from them. Will update when I hear from them. Making phone calls to this dealer is no good they keep you hanging on for a long, long time which costs un-necessary time in call charges: being unemployed it is charges I can ill afford.
Your pump comes in a choice of either three or four mounting bolts, I have seen some illustrations of a similar looking pump with six mounting bolts so this needs a visual confirmation untill the actaul part number can be verified.

It is a used Thermostat Housing; notice the pitts in the hose ends, if you go for this one my suggestion would be to fill the holes up with body filler and sand it down to ensure for a leak free fitting. There could be an issue of the item not being able to be sold outside the EU.
Nick .. tried locally but could not find any that matched. Cost me quite a bit fo time and not to mention, money too.
I hear you Panzer ... this would be the best advise, thanks!!!
