I have another pump that bolts straight in place. Made by the same company that provides Porsche with the current pump.

The pump I use allows for a remote fill canister.

The issue: engine block heat cooks the plastic fitting at the back of the reservoir.

Get rid of the plastic fitting (stop sawing the wheel like a 911 driver) and move to a remote canister. It ads fluid capacity (which means more cooling) and makes it MUCH easier to stay on top of fluid level!!

We started installing coolers on the Boxster's back in 04. We still melted fittings on the back of the reservoir (which means we were not actually addressing the real problem)

I LOVE the electric units... BUT.. they are pricey and the electric pumps burn out also!! Ask ANY Mini Cooper owner!!
