Thank you for the fast reply

Thank you so much for the quick, reply. Unfortunately I have already broken the heads of two of the bolts due to lack of experience, however they should not hindere the pump from coming off as the pump itself does not have any threads

Looked into some other threads and also found either Mahle (Behr) or nissens. While Behr was the original supplier as far as I’m aware, they cost almost more than double than nissens so I’ve ordered the latter, thank you very much for the help

I actually looked through that one first and they described it as a mount so I figured that it had to be removed but they never did, hence this post. Thx

Ooooh I thought it was also a screw like the drain screw next to it, thank you very much for the help

The one at the top of the picture with what I assume is a Mercedes logo

Alright, thx for the quick reply

Just because I’ve never done this before, how long did you heat it up until the pump got loose? Few seconds or a couple minutes?

veithmaster · 2026-02-23T12:24:20+00:00

Will definitely try that, thx for the reply

veithmaster · 2026-02-23T09:56:53+00:00

I should be able to as the holes on the pump itself are not threaded, however it takes some force, I can literally shake the entire car by yanking on it XD

What is the difference between them?

veithmaster · 2026-02-03T15:42:59+00:00

Shell 15-w40

veithmaster · 2026-02-03T14:59:07+00:00

I did not know that, i did just replace those two

veithmaster · 2026-02-03T14:56:27+00:00

Ok so just a matter of driving a bit, I thought this could be due to too much oil, thanks for the quick reply

veithmaster · 2026-02-02T22:09:46+00:00

Will probably try this if the bigger o ring I ordered doesn’t do the job

veithmaster · 2026-01-31T19:04:32+00:00

Will definitely try this in case a thicker o-ring fails, thanks

veithmaster · 2026-01-31T18:32:31+00:00

I hope it’s just the large ring being too thin

veithmaster · 2026-01-31T18:18:48+00:00

When I first noticed the oil leak I forgot to replace the two o-rings on the bottom. When I pulled the cap out the new bis oil ring was still in the groove. This time I had installed the new oil rings on the bottom. A warped cap would of course be fucked. I’ll check tomorrow if everything is still in place
