I have 3 old water pumps that have been removed from 944's... what does one do with these things? I hate to just throw out good chunks of metal... can they be recycled or what? Both new pumps I bought had no core charge or anything so...

Maybe you could sell them back for rebuild? Contact paragon maybe. I doubt you would get a full "core charge" back, but it is better than junking.

The 2.5 water pumps are not worth much as a rebuild...however the 2.7 / 3.0 pumps are pretty rare so you can get a lot more money for them.

I put one on eBay, made $20. Was barely worth the time.

If you don't owe it to someone as a core, junk it.

Or, get one of those cool see-thru coffee tables. Then add the following: water pump, rod bearing set, timing belt, ring and pinion, Hall sensor, heater clip, DME relay, OPRV, rear cam gasket, blower resistor and a sunroof gear. Name it "944 parts that work better than rubber nails"

Wow,
This post was worth it just to bring Skip out from where ever he has been hiding!!!!!

Welcome back!

Hello, Joe!

Hiding? Or, was I watching you the whole time?

Stop hijacking this thread! Wait, um, nevermind... this post also appears to be irrelevant.

Have two old pumps sitting in my basement also. Along with a bunch of other crap like a/c brackets and bumpers. Probably going to bring it to the scrap yard and get a few bucks for it one of these days .

Yep... the junk box of a 944 owner. I have all of the above, some more than once. Plus an old BBQ and a clothes dryer.

I'm starting to look a little ghetto in my yard... time to hit the scrap yard I guess.

I have a box like that in my garage. It's labeled "Porsche Museum"

I have an old waterpump too. Been reluctant to sell it because it's not worth much, but also reluctant to junk it because it still works.

All I know is you last post before this was on 4/12/07.

I hear there are metal recyclers that will take this stuff. I guess scrap metal is more profitable these days.

At this point I should be either scared or flattered. I will choose to be scared.



I guess I just don't have much to say... well, except for now... since it appears I have too much to say... about this topic... which was... oh, yeah, I prefer the red ones to the silver ones. Wait...



Man, I miss you guys!

Skip all it takes is two mouse clicks to find out.

You have been gone a long time.




Ok
To get this post on topic...

Yeap metal scrap yards are probably the best for them.
