How much is the rebuild kit compared to the heater itself. I can get the heater for 875.00 which is pretty good considering dealers were selling them for over 1K. What is your source for the rebuild kit as well.

 

I have only called the dealer for a price on the rebuild kit...Havent spent alot of time looking online yet. Dealer price was $934. I can likely find it a bit cheaper on the internet somewhere when I go to purchase, I just didnt want to purchase it & find out something else was wrong!!

 

Got it. I know if it isn't primed right as well it can fry the pump that is why I am doing all of the research that I can as well.

 

ECS seems the whole tank/pump/heater for less than $1k.

 

I saw that, but I think that it had a 166 part number associated with it. I saw a few heaters on ebay this morning for around 650.00.

 

when I looked up my 2010 on ecs, they showed out of stock

 

I just checked and they have the pump and the heater available for the 164. Everything else is for the 166.

 

interesting, When I do a search on ECS for my 2010, the heater doesnt show, only the pump as being available. Can you post the link?

 

Ok so they now have the whole tank assy in stock for 1333.19.

If you think about it and do the math you might as well just buy the whole tank. I have found the heaters on ebay for as low as 625.00 and as high as 1100. If you think about it its probably easier just to replace the whole assembly as one unit.

I have been told the 166 preheater will work for all 164, x164, 166, and x166 models as its the same part all around they just put a different part number for the complete kit. I have not verified this with the dealer, but my independent thinks that as long as the connectors are the same which I have seen they are in the photos that it should work.

 

Benzparts wholesale (Mercedes of Monterey, CA) has the whole tank with heater and pump for 1240.00. Pelican parts is listing as 1395.00

 

I had found the pump, just not the heater...I thought you were talking about the heater!!

Here you go. For that money I would buy the whole tank lol

 

Since your in Canada you can find it remanufactured here. You have to provide a core exchange, but this may be a better deal for you.

I also found the complete tank assembly there with new pump and heater for 1085. 164-470-76-01. That's a heck of a deal.

 

sorry that was MBpartscenter.com

 

I purchased the reductant heater rebuild kit from the dealer in the end, reading through some posts on replacement, one noted that he failed to prime the pump after replacing the heater & cause it to fail. I haven't been able to find any info on priming of the pump? Does anyone have any experience with this? or any instructions?

 

Just re-read the post, its the Core Chamber that he didn't prime
