Nick, Ferrari suggests water pump replacements at only 20,000 miles. Check the shop rate for that labor adventure.

Compare the shop rates on most newer cars for a water pump replacement. Even for a transverse engine Japanese car it can cost $500. One of my contractors just got a $595.00 bill for a water pump job on a Mazda 626 with only 53,000 miles on it. My last Porsche water pump death was on a 968 Cab at 29,000 miles, so a Cayenne water pump lasting for 55K miles is a advance for a water cooled Porsche.

You make a good living so quit whining for expense free exotic motoring. $500.00 for you is nothing for gawdsakes.

Want a 10 year/100,000 mile mechanical warranty? Get a GM truck.
