Zims. Great warranty, great product, great customer service, and under $100.

I bought mine from Sunset Porsche ... ( but I bought a rebuilt kit ) Though I had to give my core up
It comes with a warranty.... bolts gasket etc ...
I think it was like 270 ???.....
I would not buy a non OEM water pump ..
There is too much labor involved, if something goes bad in this case ....
But I am know it be ****.... Cheap, but ****

I've installed 4 Zims rebuilt pumps and have ne'er had issues. Many on here can say the same thing. And price is great. They use OEM housings and have used the same rebuilder for over a decade.

Wow, I just re-read your earlier post .... 100 dollars !!!
Man that is a cheap price
I was not implying that Zims was crap ...
I just don't know of their water pumps...
I have hear of the company and heard they are very competitive on prices
Hopefully, I will never need to replace my current one

GMB is junk for 944. I bought one sent it back. Also tried Hamburg Technic and sent it back. Ended up using Zims. Great quality and great service. Used on two cars 89 951 and 89 944 2.7. Zims are rebuilt original pumps with new *** bearing.
