Is220d breakdown

[Scouselexus]

Hi all left work and joined motorway. Noticed Battery light stayed on. Kept driving only 10min drive home. Left motorway then lost power steering then dash lit up with loads of lights. Managed to get into a car park and stopped. Couldn't restart thought had dead Battery.

kindly breakdown guy turned up and produced the remnants of the aux belt and said water pump was shot. Car done 103k so not a surprise if the original pump. Towed to garage where hopefully be repaired Asap.

was really surprised as hadn't noticed any belt slipping noises or loss of any coolant just went kaput. Glad was off the motorway when it did go. Scary having no power steering and a light display all at once. Just waiting for wallet damage.

I think you can get a water pump from euro car parts. Not to expensive either.
