How to change the water pump on the Mercedes Vito W638

Model: Mercedes Vito W638, MK 1 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Pump

In this video, we can see how to change the water pump on a 2002 Mercedes Vito W638. To access this component, it is necessary to lift the vehicle, particularly supporting it in the engine area, remove the front right wheel, and then the wheel arch liner, as the pump is located right behind this protection. Before removing the pump, we need to drain the vehicle's cooling system by removing all the fluid. For safety, let's use a large basin and, above all, perform the operation with the engine completely cold. We can find the replacement part, for example, on auto-doc.it with the code 1260W0164 at a price of €38.23 plus €9.90 for shipping. We will then need to refill the cooling system with the fluid recommended in the owner's manual.
