I think I paid $350 for my new pump, it's a Porsche, more than you paid for your car!

Thanks for reply
the 86 Porsche 928 I paid $2k for the 1980 was $300 ( the guy wanted $500 but my wife said how about $300 and the guy a retired Attorney said sure .
So Tell me if you want to
How long do you expect your " Porsche Pump " well or should last ?
I think this is a good question for all 928 owners .
As I understand it all the factory Porsche Pumps now ( after learning ) have the plastic Impeller's . I wonder if they have the combo Bearing ( roller and Ball )
Laso has told me their current Pumps have this Combo Bearing Ball & Roller
as well as the Plastic Impeller. This is the USA Distributor for LASO

I well not talk here about the Porsche Dealer Sold rebuilt Pumps because everyone freaks out lol
except to say they have the same parts according to them .
As a Long time mechanic I would suggest a front end refresh about every 5 to 7 years depending on miles used .
longer if Car stored with no liquid in the system in temperature controlled storage
the W.P. bearings tend lock up on long storage.
