►Mercedes' M156 AMG V8 is the legendary engine that powered at least one iteration of every Mercedes chassis between 2006 and 2014. It's a relatively tough engine, but it still needs regular service like anything else. Although it's a high-performance engine, a water pump replacement can be performed at home with some simple hand tools and a bit of patience.

Replacing a water pump is an essential part of any automotive maintenance. Modern engines need proper cooling, and a failing water pump is a recipe for disaster. Running the engine without proper cooling can heat it beyond its tolerances, warping the cylinder heads and damaging the rotating assembly. Replace your water pump at the required service interval, and you shouldn't ever have to worry.

Follow along as Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, tackles a water pump replacement on a W211 Mercedes E63 AMG.
