Best water pump and source
My water pump blew up on Weds, scaring me to death with the rattle... I thought it was IMS. After talking to the folks at Flat6, I pulled the belt and started the engine for a second- no noise! Then I reinstalled the belt and used a stethescope to locate the offending noise. Sure enough, it is the water pump.
I have done a search and I can't seem to distill down the consensus about OEM vs. aftermarket (Fleabay) pumps. Can anyone make a recommendation please?
Thanks,
Tom

IIRC Jake sells water pumps. Whatever you get,I would stay away from the reman pumps. Sometimes it's worth spending a little extra to ensure your Not changing it again next year. Just my .02

I'm actually having a water pump installed in my C4S this week. My independent mechanic strongly recommended a new OEM water pump, so that's what I'm having installed.

Sorry to hear you have had bad luck with a certain brand. We have not found the same results on the Laso as you indicate. While we stock both to satisfy those who must have their parts in the Porsche Box.
