is $230 in labor a good price for changing the water pump on a s500 1994 ? i am bringing the pump my cost $80.00

Hello,

Please tell me your reasons for replacing the water pump on your '94 S500. What is leaking or making a noise? If a noise, can you please describe it?

I have a problem with my 1992 M119 5.0L engine as well. I believe it to be my water pump as well. Mine makes a load whirring type noise when the car is running (much lounder when the car is cold).

I pulled off the serpentine belt and started the car. The noise was completely gone. I've replaced ALL the belt-driven accessories in the last 180 days EXCEPT for the water pump. I'm suspecting that's what it is.

Also, where did you find one for $80?!? I'd like one too for that price!!!

Regards,

thanks they sell it here on this forum look it up in the fast lane a local shop is doing the work for $230.00 since it requires some labor like removing the harmonic balancer.

What type of noise was yours making Felix? Please describe. Thanks ,
