Does my C230K need a new water pump and/or thermostat?

Step one: Check coolant level and mixture. If that checks out proceed to step two.
Step two: Replace thermostat. If the pump were going out you'd most likely be seeing overheating and/or leakage from the pump.

X2.
Out of curiosity, what antifreeze are you using in those frigid temps?

M111 thermostat
Thank you. Dealer has the thermostat (and very competitively priced). Will also flush cooling system as the existing coolant (Mercedes coolant) is 3 years old.
Thanks for your help! Paul
