Today I swapped the waterpump and same time the low temp thermostat.
Suprising was that in most instructions I found it is recommended to open/close some of the waterpump bolts from below and some from inside - including that some recommend to remove the passenger seat.
I did remove and install the waterpump and thermostat from under the car and it was actually suprisingly 'roomy' to also torque the bolts.
BTW: the old water pum had approximately 115.000km adn I changed it as a precautionary, partly because the previous owner had changed the pump in past and I do not know what pump it was (not swapped at Porsche dealer, but pivate dedicated shop)
