Many many things are different, you've got an advantage over me because you've had some exposure to diesel engines, but like leathermang said, MB does it differently and reading the FSM will help you to understand. Almost everything is covered, and there are numbers and tests and procedures to cover whatever you are doing. FSM, Technical Data book; these two sources of info just about have it all, but keep in mind they are written for MB trained mechanics and translated from German (sometimes poorly), so some thought may be required to puzzle things out.

You replaced the water pump, was it a stamped steel impeller? Or cast iron?
I had an endless overheating issue in a 240 related to a poor quality replacement water pump. The ones with the cast impeller move a lot more coolant. The difference in surface area on each impeller vane was something like 50% less for the crappy reman
