How about with the engine in the car?
is this identical/similar on 987 m97? Coolant running low on my 08 987.1S with 40k, about to bang out my 40k major maintenance anyway.
When you installed the gates pump with the plastic gasket in the video did you use any sealant? Thanks man, great video
Hey man can I use prestone long life coolant that have phosphate free and silicone free
Thanks man…very helpful!

i ordered from Amazon Monday for Wed (today)…today they notified me it has not shipped..don't know when it'll ship and it still shows "in stock" on their site AND THEY WON'T SHIP FROM OTHER VENDORS SHOWING THE SAME PUMP… so what good is going thru amazon?… YOUR video was excellent help though…interestingly my pump has a larger pulley that covers one of the pump bolts!…how about that on? (i got the old one off but hope new one comes with smaller pulley..)
update..now sat 6 days later, amazon show over 30 pumps stock but cannot determine when they'll ship one…and this after tons and tons of communication with them….NOT IMPRESSED!
great video, we are car shop based in Prague, CZ and trying to learn more about Porsches (now specialized in bimmers) and this is very helpful! just 1 question – are the parts u listed the same on a facelifted Cayman from 2009+?
Would it be possible to post a video on thermostat replacement?
I own a 2001 Boxster. I just watched your video, I think that my water pump is failing. In you're video, you did not mention replacing the thermostat, is that necessary?
Love this.. So easy to follow the 16 minute tutorial. Thank you!!!
Also, how long does it take to do a 996 water pump replacement for a DIY guy?? I'm pretty handy and have done brake jobs and other minor auto repairs.
