Yeah, my father in-law did it on my 280e. I'm not exactly sure how he did it, but I think he attached a timer\relay thingy to the pump. It is then activated by the lock\unlock of a remote control central locking unit we installed, telling the pump to run for 5-10 secs (enough time for doors to lock\unlock).

Hi,
have a 1981 Mercedes-Benz w123 200 that I used to ride with my Dad before he passed away. I got used to how loud it is through the years and thought it was like that because it's an old car and cars from its age can't compete with modern vehicles, etc.

I have a well used but strong running '81 300D with 210k miles. She has gone through a couple owners so I can't speak specifically to the quality/frequency of the maintenance but I know between the previous owner and I, over the past 50k miles there have been regular 3000 mile oil/filter changes...
My water pump is seized and needs replacing but I cannot get it out of the housing.
I have had it submerged in vinegar for the last two days to try and break down any rust and free it, but it just wont budge.
Anyone have any suggestions?
