You can take it to an independent repair shop. There's a supply chain of repair parts. Mercedes doesn't try to use trademark laws and DRM to stop you from using a third-party water pump.

They’ll just void your warranty for tenuously related issues, oh, kinda like…
If you have a warranty, take to it Mercedes for the warranty work. If you don't have a warranty it doesn't matter.
Additionally, you can't capriciously tell people that an unrelated repair done by a third party voided their warranty. That's a violation of the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act.
