Mercedes Water Pump - Saleri 2762001301

while installing the water pump, I have noticed a small issue. truly it a time-consuming job making space by removing the intake manifold but no problem with that. the problem that I came across was where the idle pulley set place on the water pump there a hole, but you will need to tap-and-die that hole assuming I can put everything back together. to thread that hole, you will have to use a M8x1.25 threader. unfortunately, I had to buy A kit which is ok because I did not have one on standby. At first, I thought I was going crazy. I longed into the account and check the part number and there was no message regarding to tap-and-die required. other than that, I was able to finish the job.

I got a 2012 Mercedes ML350 4Matic with the 3.5L V6 M276 engine. This one was great. The water pump doesn't leak at all, the car doesn't overheat, or it's noisy.
