Who makes the original Porsche water pumps?

[Jake Raby]

We have noted at least 3 different suppliers of water pumps. We buy them direct from Porsche and don't complain about the cost.

The pumps are different, not just re-branded.

That said, we change all pumps every 3 years, no matter the mileage. I just sent letters out to our engine purchasers from 2011 as a reminder to change their water pumps.

I am not big on OEM Porsche parts like most people are, in fact I'd love it if we had every part for our engines made in our network. The water pumps are worth the extra money.

As for "competition", well I took my parts store offline last year and don't care if we ever sell another component. I develop, someone else can sell it. Selling parts is boring and any keyboard warrior can do it.

All we sell is engines, built primarily from our own developed components.
