My 2001 Boxster S had its engine replaced with a used engine from eBay 10,200 miles ago (17 months) at which time the coolant was entirely drained and replaced.

However, I'm hearing the water pump beginning to fail and every thing I read about it says that all the coolant must be drained when the water pump is replaced. I'm wondering, though, in this case, if it would be okay to not do that since the miles and time on the coolant is relatively low.

What are your thoughts?
