Have a 2002 C320 and had my water pump seize up over the weekend. Ended up burning the belt and melting the idler pulley. Luckily I was a block away from the house but wish I had caught it like he did in the video.
Hey man: Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. I believe this is what's going on with my S500. Anyway, you explain things simply and very well. Just stay by your computer so I can huiry and contact you should my repair job go sideways. LOL. .
I couldn't stress here enough how important to know the miles of the car. What was the mile that the pump went bad and needed to be changed. Miles info is very important for DIY'ers. For preventative maintenance it would be good to know at what interval this model of Benz would loose the water pump.
@@NoneMechanic101 you gotta give me your info , if you can replace a water pump then you most likely can do 90% of the common work I need for my 6 cars at home ..
Yes it can !! That question led me to this video . If the pump pulley is loose enough it will cause a very slight shake when idling . You can hardly call it a rough idle . I’m having mine looked at Saturday but let me know if that was your issue
Good thing you caught that because had it overheated, I would NOT want to be the one to do HEAD GASKETS!!
For a head gasket I would be calling Astral Auto Repairs
@@NoneMechanic101 LOL!!!!

I hope you get fix. Thank you for watching. I appreciate it🔧
It's great to know how to work on cars and figure it out, of what is wrong. And nice to have a little pocket money for working on others cars.
I'm a quick learner. I like to learn
Are the bearings bad in the pulley or the water pump? Im trying to see if I can get by replacing the pulley or if I need the pump replaced :(
It was the water pump
Awesome job Hector
Thank you

Bro I need help on my c280 it’s making these weird noises and I’ve Alr payed like 1200$ for the pulley system to be fixed and idk what it
Is now
I myself would take it back where I paid the 1200
My water pump is good still stopped coolant flow to the coolant tank after few minutes of engine start
Can you help me to figure out
It sound like the water pump. It usually starts leaking when engine is hot
Can a bad water pump cause water leak...showing low coolant on the dash?
The water pump is designed with a small hole. When the water pump goes bad is starts leaking.
Can the waterpump causes rough idling
A bad water pump can over heat your car. I'm not sure about a a bad water pump causing a rough idling

Bro mine is leaking i, put coolant but it drops it right away. I kinda saw a whose leaking
Was it the hose?
