Reason being - the Indy that I have spoken with was pushing a pre-emptive water pump replacement for my 997.2 (currently has 27k miles.) He also suggested to have
it replaced every 4 years... (I'm thinking that may possibly apply to a 997.1 based on what is being said here...)
Thanks.

Hello there. I was part of the 930 forum years ago. I rarely post here but my fabulous 997.2 C4s is almost at 170,000 miles. Original engine. I drive it all year round in Philly and to the Jersey Shore on weekends. This thing is more reliable than my old 1989 Honda prelude. And yes, I still have the original water pump running. It is a properly driven and maintained 911. Changed the clutch at 150,000, shocks replaced at 120000. coils at 90k. I think my AOS is next. And, yes, I had my front axles refurbished at 120k. Great car. I just can't get myself to trade it in because it keeps on going. However, the Corvette C8 is quite tempting.
Wow, Im over here slighly freaking out about my car hitting 98k on my 997.1 S, as of now, things on my list:
Clutch
Starter while upgrading the plenum/throttle body
Suspension upgrade
Brake pad/rotor swap
Recently did:
Plugs/coils
Full service
Serpentine belt
Cabin and Air Filter
Cleaned out front bumper/radiators
Cleaned battery/cables/pin
Anyone have any advice for a 997.1 S (manual) hitting its 99k range?

Sorry to side-step the main topic of the thread - but I'm curious to get any additional info on the 997.2 water pump not being of similar concern to the 997.1.
Reason being - the Indy that I have spoken with was pushing a pre-emptive water pump replacement for my 997.2 (currently has 27k miles.) He also suggested to have
it replaced every 4 years... (I'm thinking that may possibly apply to a 997.1 based on what is being said here...)

Same for the AOS and other parts. There was a lot of testing and design that went into the 997.2.

101,560 miles (The original motor actually grenaded at 98,041 miles last year) I have it back from LN Engineering they did a 4.0 build.
Also have 101,560 miles on original PCCB pads from factory they've been just fantastic over the last 12 years.

Your indy is either ripping you off or very misinformed... the 997.2 has a very different pump design... heck, many of the components on these .2 engines are very different... and more robust given the lack of failures and or tow trucks.
This thread has a pic of the .1 and .2 pumps..... very different designs....

My 2007 997.1 is very low milage, I am at about 32K miles. What do you guys recommend to do preemptively? The one thing I've done is serpentine belt, as it was cheap and basically dangerous if it fails. Everything else so far, just regular maintenance, filters, battery, fluids, brake, etc... I haven't done plugs, coils, or anything else.
