Who makes the original Porsche water pumps?

Thanks for the advice, but that doesn't answer my question. I have looked at various Porsche dealers parts websites and they don't seem to even want to tell you who the manufacturer is. I want to know who makes the ones that came on the car originally. Not trying to be cheap, just want to know that I am getting what I need.

Why would any businessman/women disclose this proprietary information? Silly to assume they would. Do you tell your customer where you source all your stuff? Go buy a pump from Sunset or Suncoast and be done with it.

Actually, your question is a bit more transparent than that. If you want to be sure you are getting the OEM pump, simply buy it from a dealer; problem solved.

Look on the Pelican Parts site. It often indicates who was the OEM.
