Ha...... Water pumps have been failing ever since they were installed on a 911.

"Knocks on wood" mine is still leak free at 91K

Anyone notice low coolant level before the repair (via the multifunction display or the filler indicator)?

Had the overflow tank develop a leak, changed under warranty. Caught it and monitored it until I could get it into the dealer so no water pump damage.

No low level warning for me. The car was in for a pre-winter storage oil change and my indy mechanic noticed a leak. Went in to dealership for warranty replacement of the leaking pump. Saved me having to wash the car before it went up on the lift (yup, I let the dealership clean it as the previous owner did a 100% paint protection).

1988 911 - No coolant leak/water pump replacement to date. 100% guaranteed not to need it in the future
2008 Cayman - Just had the water pump replaced with clutch change due to some leakage - 75,000 miles
2014 911 - dry and no leaks.

I would be curious as to what miles these are occurring at, as well. I have 4k miles so far with no problems but I am keeping an eye peeled for any issues.
