Sound of a Failing Water Pump

[heliguy]

The same thing happened to me on a road trip. I was hundreds of miles from home, so I had no choice but to have it towed to an indy outside of Richmond. He got a new pump from the local stealership and installed it for me. The total bill came to $800.
the new pump itself was $400.



I like the lowered look the tie down chains give it, but otherwise, Its not a good look for a Porsche.

To be clear, that was just the pump replacement? right? Thom4782 is talking about a pump, belt, therm, and coolant flush. Hence the higher price quote.

$400 for the pump is not too bad. I bought mine a year ago from Sunset for $300ish. And prices have gone up a lot in the past 12-18 months. Looks like they charged you about 3 hours labor. That's fair. I dealership would have charged you over 6 hours.
