Did you have a coolant leak/water pump replaced?

Sorry to hear about your leak, koven. Mine was replaced with C part (2019 4S with PDK/ SportChrono) and it seems that's what most members are getting also. D may not fit yours. Check with your SA or GetPorscheParts or Suncoast websites.

thanks for the info, hope the dealer will take care of it under warranty (w/o trying to blame any mods finger crossed? 
)

I wonder if dealers are disincentivized in some way from performing this work?

Glad you got it fixed. Did your 2019 not have the C originally? I read In some other post that Porsche started using a different pump to fix this sometime in 2018. My 2019 was built in March 2019. I haven’t had a problem yet and hopefully won’t, but I’ll be monitoring.

Was just reviewing this thread yesterday. Took the car for a spin today. Thought I smelled something when I went back out to the garage after I had parked the car, but it didn't register at first.I pulled the car out of the garage so I could access something in my overhead storage racks, and say a small puddle. Checked under the car, and there was a tiny bit of dried coolant. 2017 Carrera, 29,300 miles. Calling Porsche tomorrow. Warranty runs out the end of the month. Would you drive it, or have it towed. Closest dealer is about 20 miles.
The question I have is, my warranty expires in August. Is there a separate warranty on the new part? My SA said that since this is a warranty repair, their is no warranty other than the original warranty. If it was repaired outside of the original warranty, then there would be a 2yr warranty on the new water pump.

Got the car back today. Replaced the water pump and valve block. Water pump #OPB-121-010-D, so it looks like the most current version. 28,900 miles.

Noticed a small pink puddle, maybe 2-3" in diameter, and came here to see if anyone else had an issue like this. 2017 GTS, June production. I hope the dealer stocks these.

Ugh, ralt12, I feel your pain. It's seems many of us (991.2 and now some 992) are plagued with this issue, sad to see. Most of us are getting Part C generation pump as per posts (seems Part A fails). My 2nd replacement was done almost a month ago and no issues (smells, leaks or warning lights) so far so seems part C is the fix (OPB-121-005-C, fingers crossed) however double check part# for your GTS. good luck!

See post #112 above. Looks like there is also a pump version “D”.
Does anyone have the final word on what the latest and greatest version number is?
