Yep
A sure sign of lack of quality control.

How many water pumps has your 986 been through?
What are the symptoms of a failing pump?

My shop is replacing mine. I had a bunch of work done then when I drove it home the water pump apparently died. my temp was running a little hotter than normal and when I parked my car it vented all of the fluid. Thing is that coolant also came out of the filler end through the cap. I'm wondering if I should change out the reservoir too. I assume that changing out the serpentine belt and pulley must have messed with the water pump causing it to fail. Btw mine was at 50k miles.

10 years and coming up to 39k kms, still on the original water pump. I have a replacement sitting in the cupboard and I'll fit it eventually.
