I want knowledge on power steering pumps. I need a replacement pump for the specified car.

2009 Mercedes C180 W204 Estate 1.6 Petrol.VIN: WDD2042452F389438 Engine number 271910312644702.
My hunt in the UK for the appropriate pump has perplexed me over their incompatibility with various types. Mercedes UK requests £400 plus... Has anybody ever used a different model's pump on their vehicle, specifically a 1.6 engine using a 1.8 engine component? The component number installed in my vehicle is A005 466 8301. I apologise for the lengthy first message, but I am at my wit's end.

Upon searching that component number online, it was identified as compatible with an ML.

The pump installed in your automobile is used in many Mercedes models. I recommend reaching out to Mercedes Newcastle via their eBay store to get a price and verify compatibility. They often exhibit competitive pricing.

Thank you for your response. MB Newcastle estimated £400; nevertheless, I will also explore eBay. It is beneficial to know if they are compatible with other cars, a detail that did not emerge during my search. Thank you for your time.

Can you identify someone capable of reconditioning the pump?

It is often a compromised seal.


Is it advisable to enquire at nearby garages?

Best of luck!

Additionally, can you locate an MB component number on the pump for online cross-referencing?

I see that AutoDoc enumerates many alternatives compatible with a W204. I would choose the one by Luk priced at €345.

However, because MB is just £400, I would be inclined to consider that option.


Your decision, but avoid a low-quality one, since it may require replacement soon.

Wishing you successful hunting.

The pump's component number is A055 466 8301.
