Having the IMS done and am also swapping out the water pump and AOS. Have been offered a couple of different options on the water pump, one is Geba the other Meyle. Has anyone any knowledge on these brands please.

I think there’s only a £20 difference but the Meyle has a plastic impeller which seems to be the preferred fix. Thanks for your help.
Paul,
There's a lot of online 'chatter' about the advantages and disadvantages of both - plastic vs metal impeller - with wild speculation about plastic impellers disintegrating and metal impellers machining the block housing. If you're not going to go with a Porsche approved part I think you just pay your money and take your choice.
To assist you in the choice, it might be worth finding out if the Porsche part has a plastic or a metal impeller.
Just to throw something else into the mix, Pierburg is another coolant pump supplier.
