I haven't seen any newer one either.

But would like to see one and see if they're different.

Here's one I've not encountered before. Something Something Canada. Car looked like it had a brand new belt on it, only markings were Made In Germany. Pump sounded like it was eating the block and thankfully it didn't. But the bearing cartridge was bad. No leaks from the pump though, just lots of noise.

It looks like the top said "Remanufactured" and the bottom "In Canada". Have not seen that before. Cool

This one also had two gaskets on it. I laughed. No clue how old it is as the owner has no records.

That what I was thinking; if you blow the pic up the middle emblem is the Porsche symbol.

Now you can do 99 more without issue.

Just a heads up for those searching.

If you have an '86.5, just because it has S4 suspension does NOT mean it will be able to use an S4 water pump. And especially a Geba that a costs less than $200.00 to resellers and then turn around and sell it for $695.00. If you want to rape your customers, make sure you are sending out the correct part first.

$695 for a GEBA pump - that is absurd - that is gouging to the nth degree.
I do not sell the GEBA but Mark does at a reasonable price. I still sell both the early and late Laso pumps for $325.

Doesn't a factory pump sell for $695? Unless those prices have changed since I last looked at them..

As long as there's LASO around for our cars, we should be okay.

Ouch. Don't you guys still rebuild pumps? I'd trust your rebuild over a new GEBA any day.

We do offer rebuilt pumps as well as Geba. I've had excellent results with both or I would not sell them.
