I thought Pierberg is the OEM for Porsche water pumps. Porsche certainly does not manufacture water pumps. (if they did, their bearings would only last a couple thousand miles)

I find the key to parts replacements is to figure out who makes for Porsche and buy direct. You just don't get the pretty Porsche box.
Though I did buy last spring a new Oil filter housing, that was Porsche in a Porsche box.
I framed the box and hang it in my living room, next to my van Gogh

I went with Porsche. Suncoast has them for $260.00 currently and purchased the Wahler low temp thermostat. Good thing is, I bought some Esco jack stands as well to add to my everyday regulars, 'cuz we ALWAYS need at least one new tool per job, correct?
