Hello,

I just removed a broken pump from my 2000 porsche Boxster. After draining the coolant by disconnecting the large diameter hose on the passenger side the 5mm draining plug was rounded off (right hand drive car). I found there were 2 x 6mm Diameter bearings in the fluid. As the pump shaft runs on needle rollers I'm assuming they haven't come out of the pump.

Just wondering if anyone knows where in the system these might have come from? Assuming they shouldn't be in there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Gooders
