Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle is a 2003-2005 Mercedes-Benz C230 with the ZF pump configuration before installation. Verify the threaded outlet connection and 16x1.5 thread size match the existing hydraulic line, and transfer or source any components not included with the pump, such as the pulley and reservoir-related parts. Proper system bleeding after installation is important to remove air from the hydraulic circuit and help prevent noise or uneven assist.
