Where to buy new water circulating pump for - 1988 230TE Estate

[Mad Professor]

Good Day All.

As the weather is getting very cold I need to get the heating working on my 1988 230TE Estate.

The 1st thing I did was to remove the duo-valve and make sure it was working, and was clean.

I then moved onto the water circulating pump, I removed this from the car, and removed the end cap and was unable to turn the motor, I think striped down the hole motor as much as possible, and soaked the hole lot in GT85 for around a hour, after this time I was then able start moving the motor back and forth, after working the motor for around 10 min's I was then able to run the motor from my bench power supply, I left this running wile soaking in the GT85.

After this the motor did start freely, but a week later the motor has stoped working again, so I need to buy a new one.

So my question is where can I buy a new water circulating pump, and what kind of price am I going to be looking at.

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards.

As we hardly ever get a post on these things about them going faulty and they then must be a slow moving item from the breakers, I think that I would source one from there

television: thanks for your reply, I know I chould phone a few merc brakers, but due to the ages of thease cars now if possible I would like to buy a new unit, totaly depending on the price.

I have looked on GSF web site, can't see any listed, so I will phone them later on.

Is there anyone else besides going to a dealer to get a new unit?

I don't mind if it's a true merc unit or a patten unit.

Best Regards.

Why not get a price from the dealer and go from there?
