Water pump 1984 300 CD
I'm replacing my water pump on a 1984 300CD. I bought a water pump from Phil and put it on. It is leaking from the weep holes.
What did I do wrong?????

Unless you soaked the pump in acetone before installing it, there is not much you can do to cause the shaft seal to fail. Sometimes, all that is needed is a little "break in" period to stop the leak.

The water flows like there is no seal in there.Is it possible I got a new bad pump? I hate to have to take it apart again.
Even though I'm getting quicker at it.

Just make sure the leak is from the weep holes instead of anywhere else, could be a bad pump.

It is the weep holes. I was adding water to the top radiator hose and noticed water running below so I covered the bottom hole with my finger and it started to come out of the top hole.

My vote is for a bad pump. Someone forgot to put the seals in when it was rebuilt.

Well I e-mailed Phil and new pump will be here Wednesday.
Phil You Are The MAN! He wrote that this is the first time a Geba water pump has been bad. I hope the next one was put together by someone else.

Well the pump arrived yesterday and I put it on. It took all of 35 minutes. The 300SD I had as a loaner was nice but I am so glad to be back in the 300CD.
Thanks Phil!
