Genuine Porsche Parts
Manufacturer: Porsche
Part Number: 996-106-011-56
Part: WATER PUMP
Replaces: 996-106-011-51, 996-106-011-53, 996-106-011-54, 996-106-011-55

All I am saying is there is no guarantee that other (cheaper) suppliers are selling you the latest updated pump....
And I'm sure nobody outside of Porsche and the manufacturer knows the difference between the models. Who knows, pumping volume, bearing size, impeller materials etc etc may all have been updated.

Gelbster - you are correct re latest pump # as far as I can find...
So are you suggesting this website is not being truthful on the part they are sending you?

It specifically says part number 996-106-011-56. That's the latest version.
