I’m glad I did mine - but seriously 40k! Why should that be necessary? We had a Honda that went to its grave with the original pump at 335,000 Kms. The car was still going strong with only normal maintenance, but met it’s demise after an encounter with a light pole.
Is Porsche using poor quality parts, or is the pump unusually stressed compared to “normal” cars?
The only other vehicle that I have ever had to do a water pump in 30 years of vehicle ownership was a GMC Acadia (the last GM that I will ever own). The pump went at 40,000 miles- I thought at the time that was pathetic.
