I suspect that he's describing the operation in a different model, where he didn't remove the expansion tank.

Suspect what ever you want to :-)

I replaced the pump on my 1992 300 TD Turbo. The pump is under the washer fluid tank, on the left side of the engine. I had to renew it when I installed a webasto diesel heater.

It is a tight space, but with a small screw driver, it is no problem. One like THIS.

The pump it self is just pushed into a rubber housing.
