Water pump just too a dump

On my way to work, my water pump failed. Red light started flashing, but temp just got beyond the 0 in the 180. My car is now waiting for the flatbed to take it home so I can replace the water pump. There is a small puddle under the car.

I've already got the low temperature thermostat, but need to get a replacement pump from our local Porsche dealer. Doubt I can find another OEM water pump form another source, but if you know of one please let me know.

As for replacement coolant, I can also get that form the dealer, but I've seen a few threads in regard to Mercedes and or VM/Audi coolant. It OK to use? Or should I just stick with the OEM coolant?
