I'm also considering replacing mine, not due to mileage, but age. My '02 will be ten years old next spring when it comes out of storage, with 21k miles on the odo. I replaced the t-stat with the LN low temp unit two years ago and probably should have done the pump at the same time, but that was before Jake's suggestions were made public. Refilled with Porsche OEM coolant at the same time.

FWIW, my car runs much cooler with the 160 degree unit and oil is changed annually at about 2500 to 3000 miles; 5W40 Castrol Syntec.
