81 240D 3 Water Pumps In 6 Months

Hi--- I have an '81 240D fitted with the 2-tank Greasecar system. Don't do too much of my own work, but I'm using the 75 MPH Guide to keep Anna happy and healthy. So far, so good... but, I've gone through 3 water pumps in less than 10,000 miles. The 1st was the original, so I new that would happen. And it did at exactly 120,000. Had it replaced with a Bosch, which promptly failed. Had it replaced again with a German pump, the name eludes me. Well, this pump also failed and I'm having it replaced with a Mercedes pump. Fortunately, this is all warranty work.

Thanks and a suggestion

First off, i would like to offer my thanks and appreciation for your oasis in the desert of dealerships. You folks make the old adage," the only stupid question is the one you don't ask" a reality. You have to love these cars to do what we do and your commitment shines! Now...suggestion..the special tool that you offer for the removal of the 103 water pump is a godsend. you might however offer the tool with this stipulation...PAY ME WHAT IT IS WORTH AFTER YOU USE IT..you might be amazed at the return on that concept!!! Thanks again and continued success. Dan
