Hi all
Just did a water pump and low temp stat on Boxster S 2001, this was for preventative reasons and not because I thought I had issues, the plastic impeller had just started to score the water pump bore so to speak, the impeller had score marks on as well, on doing a waggle pulley test the impeller had a small amount of side to side movement, hence the scoring. I am guessing this is original pump as I had to do the cutting of gasket to remove said gasket, it also has original Porsche part number on pump. The mileage is 80131 miles, so this pump has lasted well if original, nice to now see the temp gauge bang on 80 in normal use rather than just above.
