The most likely failure in my 2001 Box base...

[Jake Raby]

Its just not worth it. The 1% ruins it for everyone else.

You should have done a better job of policing yourselves by locking these people on.

Why do I feel like I missed an episode?

I must have missed something too. J_R is one of my favorite people to read here... short and to the point.
Not sure why he's packing up his toys and going home.

It's his own choice to make, just like CHANGING A WATER PUMP OR NOT.

Jake I think that you are an excellent designer,engineer and entrepreneur. Unfortunately PR is not your strength. Then hire somebody to take the heat here.
If the 1% give you problems then deal with it.

As the above says 99% of us enjoy your your presence here. Having the IMS Guardian installed in my Box gives me peace of mind. You are the leader in your field
and take some credit for it.
Cheers, Guy.

And thank goodness this forum exists all due I believe to Wayne Dempsey. Owning an old Boxster becomes more livable with the excellent members' opinions and help.
If it was not for this forum I would likely have sold my Box and bought a new Toyota Corolla or Subaru!

This forum makes owning an older Porsche a lot more fun. Thanks guys and girls. Everybody's opinions are welcome here. And don't forget the newbies. We were all newbies once.

In the 944 world it's pretty common practice to replace the waterpump every other timing / balance belt change, some do it every time. But on a 944 a seized waterpump can take out the timing belt and being an interference engine, bad things happen.

My only direct experience with a Boxster waterpump failure on a friends car was that it gave lots of warning - noise, then leaks. In that case I guess the bearing seal failed rather than the impeller.

Jack, I have come to the cynical realization in my old age that in every aspect of human society, its that 1% that seem to make us feel it's (what ever it might be) not worth it.
Even when the other 99% applaud and appreciate the effort, the struggle and especially share in the passion

This forum is worth it with contributors such as your self and others with the know how, insight and shared passion

Untwist your underwear, bro.

Some car owner decides he is going to play the wait and see game, with his own car, and doesn't feel the need to swap a working part, and you quit helping others?

If you're sick of helping or typing the same advise, fine, but don't get all pissy to other members for "not policing ourselves" and take all your smarts away. Makes you sound way less professional than I am sure you are. When my customers don't listen, I make good money and I certainly don't shame them for it. They had an option and a professional opinion to go by. It's their buildings, and likewise, it's their cars. Go back, and tell us how exactly to "police ourselves" into forcing a member into taking your (good) advise. Or should we have shamed him away or voted him off since he refused this advise?

No one said you were some douchebag trying to sell water pumps. I must have missed the part where he said you were full of **************** and that pump would last forever and only an idiot or someone with something to personally gain would recommend a swap of a working part.

Be a better person and don't blame the board / site because you decided you were tired of 1% of a website not running out and taking your advise same day. I too am an expert in my field, and these building's heating systems cost just a tad more than any 986 engine on this site, yet I still get ignored when I suggest routine maintenance.
