A new 997 owner here,
My water pump has some slight play in it, so I want to get it changed before it siezes on me.
1) It seems the original manufacturer of this is Pierburg, do people use other pumps from other well known manufacturers? Like SKF or Meyle e.t.c. It feels like they have put a Porsche tax on this as they are the OEM, is it genuinely better or do people use other brands?
2) Is the 'oem' pump from ECP actually a Pierburg or just another OEM manufacturer (they are certainly charging pierburg type pricing)
3) Does the coolant need to be replaced in full. Either way, what replacement/top up coolant is recommended
4) It seems that a low temp thermostat is recommended ? Which one?
Thanks
