99 Boxster/Water Pump

[Savanh]

I appreciate for all your in puts. But what is IMS and what can I do to provent it become the issue. It's there any I can do?

By the way I got my water pump from NAPA Auto parts also. But I use the sealicon, instead of the meltal gasket. I'll try to check it again this weekend and may have to take the water pump out.

Tran - I'll try your trick and see if I can find where the noise come from.

Again thanks for your help.

Does it sounds like a squeal?

Where in Texas are you? I'm in Austin -- be happy to help if you
are around here.

I bought some water pumps from Duetsche Autp Parts.
3 of the 4 I bought squealed and one only lasted 60 days.

I pulled all three back off the street and replaced them with OEM pumps.

We took the failed pump apart to inspect it and the bearings has already
failed and the shaft was wobbling. Probably just a matter of time for the
others.

Will be sending them back and telling them what they can do with them.
