quoting Mike "I thought Jake knew of a specific OEM water pump supplier to Porsche that was much better than the others. One he sold. I thought he said that on a forum a while back."

That's what I recall also. For some reason, the peeps at FSI becaome very evasive when asked which brand of pump that is, exactly. Seems to be some kind of a secret.

My car still has the original water pump - 12 years and 116K kilometres later. Because of all the dire warnings, I'm going to change it before I drive the car again in the spring. The fact remains, however, that it has been in there three times longer than recommended and has not detonated.

Hard to know what to think sometimes.
