Dirtjockey Posted 21August, 2019 Report Share Posted 21August, 2019 Hey Guys, I'm wanting to change the water pump & Serpentine belt in my 997.1 - 3.6 - is there an acceptable alternative to the Porsche OEM or would you only suggest using factory. If there is an alternative, where would you purchase from? I appreciate your advice. DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tinker Posted 21August, 2019 Report Share Posted 21August, 2019 I've used Design 911 in the UK for my spare parts, they take a week to get here and the pricing is cheaper than buying locally in Australia. BUT Don't go alternative (ie cheaper) pumps - use the Porsche coolant pump if you value quality and longevity..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
