Needed to do my thermostat so I decided after listening to the water pump bearing, it also needed to be replaced. As described in the FCP Euro YouTube page, on my W204 ‘12 C300 my thermostat was sticking & they recommend every 50K or so to replace it. So easy to work on the W204 M272 / 3.5L V6 engine. It’s all right in the front. Plenty of access. Thanks again FCP Euro, please keep up the good work on the how to videos for the DYIer

Great Product and Price

perfect fit into the car. it runs good. perfect replacement part. remember to tight screws with big ones first to hold the gasket in place. then place the other screws before tighting the screws with pressure of 25 Newtons or 18.9 lbs with a torque wrench from harbor freights. the fit was perfect. just removed the two pulleys from water pump to work on it. also the underneat cover to empty the radiator use a hose not tomake a mess and put old fluid in a container to dispose. so far so good. I am so happy it works great avoiding dealer cost of pump or their crazy labor.
