Get a pierburg if you can for the water pump. They’re more OEM than Mehle is for water pumps even though both are OE manufacturers.

Pierberg all aluminium has been good in mine.
Been on my Pierburg full metal one a few years now, no complaints
Pierburg ONLY for water pump, no other brand is good.
I replaced mine with a pierburg one. after install it was fine till I hit a decent bump, which led to overheating limp mode (i stopped the car as soon as this happened).
The carburetor leaks some fuel into the intake, I'm assuming something is leaking or adjusted wrong and it floods the engine. If it's been sitting for a week or longer it starts instantly, also starts very well soon after driving while it's still warm.
I kind'a have some project and I need to use Pierburg CWA50, all I got in my country is this pump from benz (**A0005001986**), is it same model as Pierburg CWA50? Because the head pump is same but the connector is different (facing upwards). I tried to find specs from this model, the result is empty, can't find any clue about flow rate. I do have original code from Pierburg, which is **7.04933.56.0**, but can't find flow rate either.
when my original pump went bad, i went to Peirburg so that the plastic housing wouldnt crack. Pump lasted about 20,000 miles, bought another one from fcp euro for the lifetime warranty but this one lasted 20 mins before i got those same codes and overheated.
I've had 2 of these die in less than 1 year. Junk!
Honestly, personally I wouldn't get a Pierburg. Got one, the all aluminum one and it failed right away, first day of driving. It was hard to push in the plug as well. And they are made in China these days, cheaply made it seems.
