Jager - I hear you...
I replaced my perfectly good water pump in 2010 (45,000 miles or so) with a genuine Porsche item bought from Flat6 when eveyone was advocating changing out the W/P every 3-4 years. Within 12 months (less than 3,000 miles) it started leaking. Coolant loss is about a half a cupfull every 2,000 miles, so I've just left it in place, but you must wonder how many genuine Porsche pumps fail before 50,000 miles.
Perhaps its a new Porsche built-in fault, making owners replace the pump before the vanes break off and get stuck in the cylinder head water galleries....
