I was going to change the water pump last year, but didn't get around to it. I was waiting to get a set of flex sockets, which I'm glad I got. They came in handy. So I do it today and this is what I get. Didn't find any chunks, but a lot of finely ground up plastic pieces and 2½ missing vanes. Hooked up the garden hose to the coolant hoses and flushed it out the best I could.
The gasket was already cut so this was a replacement water pump. Don't know how many miles, or years on this one since I didn't find any record of it in the receipts I found with the car. I've had the car for 4½ years now. I'll start saving up now in case I get a cracked head.
This was a precautionary water pump change. I didn't have any issues or leaking going on. Installed a Porsche OEM water pump from Sunset Porsche in Oregon and will use Porsche coolant. The antifreeze that came out was orange and not OEM. I don't know if this had any effect on the life of the plastic impeller, but I will not take a chance and will use the OEM coolant this time around.
Jake was right.
