Thanks for updating this thread. I got my Porsche Centre to carry out a visual inspection of the water pump recently ( at about 8,000 miles) when I had winter tyres/wheels fitted to my 2018 Carrera T. I will continue to get them to inspect it each time I’m in. Next visits will be to refit summer tyres/wheels and then subsequently for my 20,000 service.

so if it was a known problem does the replacement part fix the issue or are people experiencing multiple failures for this same problem over time?
I have a 991.2 c2s coming and I hate reading these threads

I'm making a note to check the coolant level frequently when I get the car. Hopefully an improved part is being used for more recent builds.

Here's a pic of ours I took this morning, Started ~1K miles and s-l-o-w-l-y got worse. Porsche says if nothing is on the ground there's nothing they can do. I expect the first drop to fall the minute the warranty expires.

Side-note- it's funny seeing a plastic honeycomb oil pan in the picture above.

I think its crazy that the dealer sees a leak and deems it not bad enough to fix. Why wait until it gets worse.

Just so you know, even a car without leaks can be "topped-up every day" and it will take it. The bobber always returns to "minimum". The car just consumes/expells the extra coolant, and the bobber goes back to min. On the 991.1 cars for sure.

I'd be a squeaky wheel, reaching up above the dealership level, until Porsche produced some grease. Unfortunate automotive pun unintended.

Been awhile but I think the water pump was replaced on m 991.2 C2s before I noticed an issue. Maybe a recall? I had it in for normal service. Then I had another small leak that was dripping onto a turbo so I would smell coolant in the garage after parking the car. That was a leaking overflow tank. Now fixed.
