I understand water pump failures are common. This is the 4th one on mine (110k miles). The previous pumps were installed by a shop at $600 a pop, and I'm sure they were cheap after-market units. I'm kicking myself for not replacing them myself. It's actually easier than doing a Chevy water pump. I do plan to replace the coolant with Prestone after flushing the system out. Water pump failures are a normal part of life on the 986s.

I have saved every receipt as did the first owner and plan to disclose everything to the next owner. It is a well documented car. I'm sure the next owner will be here on this forum so I plan to be straight up.
