Yes yes, understood.

Inquiring minds want to know if when the WP was changed, it was replaced with a Porsche factory part or an aftermarket supplier (i.e. less expensive/less reliable) part. My car is at 92k and I will be replacing my wp soon as a preventative measure. Knowing the source of potentially unreliable replacement water pumps is of keen interest to me, and probably other Boxster owners as well.

They all fail.. No matter if its OE or not.. No brand is better or worse than another in my experience.

This is why it should be changed on a regular basis.
