Water Pump (996 106 011 57) – with metal impeller & gasket
This replacement coolant water pump (part number 996 106 011 57) comes a metal impeller and gasket to ensure a proper seal. Porsche specialists typically recommend inspection or replacement every 60,000 miles or 4–5 years to prevent sudden failure. For best results, it is advised to replace the thermostat, gaskets, and serpentine belt at the same time—our kits conveniently bundle these components for a complete cooling system refresh.
Vehicle Fitment
Porsche 996 Carrera C2/C4 – 1997–2001 (3.4L), 2002–2005 (3.6L)
Porsche Boxster 986 – all models (2.5, 2.7, 3.2S), 1997–2004
Common Issues & Symptoms
- Overheating & Rapid Failure – Loss of coolant circulation can cause overheating and potential engine damage.
- Unusual Noises – Squealing, creaking, or grinding sounds may indicate worn bearings or internal failure.
- Coolant Leaks – Visible coolant under the car or in the engine bay often signals pump wear.
- Accessory Belt Problems – A failing pump can affect the serpentine belt, leading to accessory drive issues.
Maintenance Insight
Because failure can escalate quickly from small leaks to major problems, proactive replacement at around 60K miles is strongly recommended by enthusiasts and independent Porsche specialists alike.

Water / Coolant Pumps – Reliable Engine Cooling for Porsche Vehicles
Water / coolant pumps are at the heart of your Porsche’s cooling system. Their job is to circulate coolant through the engine, radiator, and heater core, maintaining the correct operating temperature and preventing overheating. A properly functioning water pump ensures efficient heat transfer, optimal performance, and long-term engine reliability.
At Design911, we supply a wide range of genuine and high-quality water pumps for Porsche models including 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan, Panamera and the transaxle cars. Each pump is precision-engineered to deliver consistent coolant flow, high durability, and dependable performance - ensuring your Porsche’s engine stays cool under all driving conditions.
What Do Water Coolant Pumps Do?
Water pumps are a critical
part of your engine’s temperature control system. They:
- Circulate coolant between the engine block, radiator, and heater system.
- Regulate temperature by dispersing heat efficiently throughout the system.
- Maintain coolant pressure for consistent engine operation.
- Support performance and longevity, preventing damage from excessive heat.
Without a properly working water pump, coolant circulation stops — leading to overheating, loss of performance, and potential engine failure.
Why Do Water Coolant Pumps Fail?
Even the most durable water
pumps can fail over time due to heat, age, and coolant contamination. Common
causes of failure include:
- Bearing wear or seal leaks caused by prolonged use or poor coolant quality.
- Corrosion or pitting from old or incompatible coolant mixtures.
- Cracked impellers or worn components reducing flow efficiency.
- Coolant leaks around the housing or pulley.
- Age-related wear, especially in high-mileage vehicles.
Signs of failure include visible coolant leaks, high engine temperature, whining noises from the pump area, or reduced cabin heating.
Why Replace a Faulty Water Coolant Pump?
A failing water pump can cause severe engine overheating, loss of coolant, or total breakdown. Replacing a worn pump restores reliable cooling and helps protect your engine from costly damage.
Benefits of
replacement include:
- Restored coolant circulation and cooling efficiency.
- Improved engine reliability and performance.
- Prevention of leaks, overheating, and corrosion.
- Long-lasting, high-quality construction for dependable operation.
All water pumps in this range are built using high-strength materials, precision impellers, and sealed bearings designed to deliver durability, quiet operation, and efficient coolant flow over time.
