So, Jake, that being said, do you still recommend that even this aftermarket pump be replaced on the same 3-year schedule?

This thread is nearly 2 years old...
However, I bought a water pump from JR 3 years ago and when it arrived, found it's a genuine Porsche water pump - identical part # to my original.....

TennisGuy, I know it's a long shot that you're still here. But if so, what was the outcome of your engine?

Jake and others: what about water pumps with metal impellers?

The vast majority say stick with plastic. It's the lesser of two evils...

RandallNeighbor, coming through Houston next week. How do I access that crazy HOV/toll lane? Is it always via pass? Or at certain times, can anyone drive on it?

As I understand it these are rather cheaply made parts, and I wouldn't be surprised if you're at more risk of failure of the component overall as opposed to just the impeller in that case, not that either is desirable. I think if the ones with a metal impeller were that good there'd be much more talk of them and their impressive performance.
