which water pump 08 CTT

[txhokie4life]

I've got a rattling coming from the front of the engine -- suspecting water pump pulley.

Thinking about ordering ahead of time for when I get the chance to dig into it.

Only have 30K on my CTT -- but I know Boxsters loose WPs every 30k or so.

Porsche's pump is $250

Graf is $50.

Several in-between.

thanks,

Mike

I used a non-porsche pump made by Lasco, which is a german made OE pump. It lasted 10K miles. I now have a Porsche pump in there and hope it will last 90K like the original one did.

If someone quoted you $250 for the Porsche water pump - then they are over MSRP.

MSRP for the Porsche water pump is $239.44.

I was estimating the relative cost difference.

Add the gasket and its ~$250 while the Graf was $47.50 with the gasket.

I'm still leaning towards OEM.

Pulled the Trigger on OEM -- $180 delivered including gasket from Sonnen.
