Water pump

Does anyone know if a water pump from a 99 c230 will fit in a 96 c280?

No.

Try to avoid getting a used pump. It'll wear out a lot faster than a new one.

Thanks a lot. The water pump was brand new. And only $60. Thats why i figure id pick it up. O well

Does your current water pump leak? If it doesn't and can wait why don't you order it from autohausaz.com.
While you're there order the thermostat and replace it together with the pump for added peace of mind.

The water pump for C280 has different pattern than your C230.

Nah it doesnt leak but im collecting lots of parts together to do a full tune up from top to bottom. My car is coming up on 200k.

Anyone got an idea what i should be looking into? Ive researched and found some stuff on it but not set in stone. Everyone basically says the same thing

In that case you're good then. What about the belt tensioner? Serpentine belt? Steering damper(sic)?
Have you replaced your transmission fluid yet?
How about the flex disks?

Those things needs to be replaced or you'll be sorry.

Those are all on the list. Lol. Although, what are the flex discs?

Read this thread young grasshopper (http://www.club202.com/forums/showthread.php?14786-Flex-Disc-and-Engine-Tranny-Mounts&highlight=flex+disk)

Flex discs connect drive shaft to trans and diff. If one fails, you're in a world of hurt. They're made of rubber, so change them every 150k miles.

I'd be willing to bet you're losing some HP/MPG if your cats are factory originals.

[hvmercy]

You don't want to know how much the OEM ones are.
