Jake, what do you recommend as the replacement interval for the Water pump and AOS?

My Boxster is a 2000 S with low Kms (42,000) with original Water Pump and AOS.

I have read that a good check for the AOS is to pull off the Oil Cap at idle and if it's difficult to remove then AOS needs replacing.

Thanks in advance.
