Regarding your search for a 996, if you're looking for a 99, look for a build date prior to 4/99. I was told that's when the engine problems began (that's when they began including engines that were resleeved or otherwise repaired in order to keep up with demand).
Mine is a 3/99 build, so I'm probably in good shape. We'll find out for sure when they (Flat6) pull it apart to clean it out.

I will sleep a bit better tonight, but probably only for one night.

Well, I'm convinced. I just ordered the Pierburg pump and Porsche gasket from Pelican Parts for $252 shipped. Now to find good DIY's for replacement and coolant change.

Compared to Jap, German are not good at making:
- window regulators
- door lock actuators
- water pump
- radiators
- any electronics
+ goes through half shafts like they were wiper blades.

The Pierburg water pump is $210.96 and the gasket is $3.79=$214.75 and that would include free shipping. That's without the 10% off that I offer on here, so after that discount it would be $193.28 shipped to your door within the US.

might be no tax as well
I shopped around when I bought my WP/Thermostat/coolant a few weeks ago and in addition to the best price, Jason is incredible in customer service and I had my parts the next day

Just checked the Warehouse33 site for the low temperature thermostat and the shipping fee for a $46 part is $20. Unless I'm reading that wrong.

I'm here, I assume you're looking at part # 996 106 013 59 for $42.15? I did a shipping quote to my zip of 64111 and I'm seeing $11.17 for ground & $15.68 for USPS Priority Mail.
What's your zip?

It said $19 and change for UPS ground in the cart. No worries, Pelican added the part to the order even though the pump was shipped out already, so free shipping.
I will check out Warehouse33 in the future. Thanks for the information. Live and learn.
