My G Wagen is going to need a water pump. At first I thought it was a common item as found on any other 617 diesel. NOT! My engine is a 617.931. Strangely enough there are 3 different pumps shown in the EPC, one of which begins with a 110 part number anoher I think is a 115 number.

My water pump part number is 616 200 07 02, the local MB dealer says "sorry, have to order from the fatherland, 3 week wait and pay up front", not to mention that it is more than double($274 vs $129) the cost of the 110 pump!

My question is this, where else is this water pump used (ie what other motor/vehicle)? Is there another source for this pump?

One positive note, Europa has one in stock and has only sold one in the past 6 years. So I guess these water pumps can last a long time. Of course for that much money they ought to be gold plated!
