Product Information

Mercedes-Benz Water Pump diagram for C300, E350

An Engine Water Pump Bracket is a structural mounting component that securely holds the water pump in place and aligns it with the accessory drive system (serpentine belt or timing belt/chain).

• Unusual noises – rattling, grinding, or squealing from the front of the engine due to pulley/belt misalignment.
• Belt wear or slippage – the serpentine or timing belt may fray, slip, or jump track if the pump shifts out of alignment.
• Coolant leaks or overheating – stress on the pump housing or gasket may cause leaks, eventually leading to engine overheating.

About Genuine Mercedes

The original parts used by Mercedes Benz to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mercedes Benz” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mercedes Benz, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mercedes Benz Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
