Porsche OEM 986/996 Water Pump Kit with 160°F Low-Temperature Thermostat

Our complete Porsche water pump replacement kit fits applicable 1997–2004 Porsche Boxster and Boxster S (986) and 1999–2005 Porsche 911 Carrera (996) models with naturally aspirated M96-family engines. This includes the 2.5L, 2.7L, and 3.2L Boxster engines, as well as applicable 3.4L and 3.6L 996 Carrera engines. The 996 applications include Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, and Targa models. For 2005 model-year 911s, confirm whether the vehicle is a 996 or 997 before ordering.

LN Engineering’s 986/996 water pump kit (SKU 996-106-011-57-KIT) includes an OEM composite-impeller water pump, LN Engineering 160°F low-temperature thermostat, thermostat installation tool, serpentine drive belt, gaskets, and replacement mounting hardware. It is a convenient bundled solution for preventative cooling-system service.

We recommend replacing the water pump and thermostat approximately every 4–5 years or 48,000–60,000 miles, whichever comes first. A failing water pump can result in coolant loss, impeller debris, overheating, and potentially expensive engine damage.

Important Fitment and Installation Notes

  • Does not fit Porsche 911 Turbo, GT2, or GT3 models.
  • Choose the appropriate serpentine belt option for the vehicle’s crankshaft pulley. If your Porsche has an aftermarket underdrive pulley, verify the pulley size and belt selection before ordering.

  • If adding an optional coolant expansion tank, verify its part number and fitment before ordering. Expansion tank exchanges are subject to a 25% restocking fee and do not include free shipping.
