As for #1 and #2, I have no additional information than what was already posted.

In February of this year, I lost the water pump in my 93 90S whilst 50 miles
from home.  At the time, the car had 68,051 miles on it.  Thank heaven for
AAA Plus.  Replacement of the water pump, timing belt, and serpentine belt
cost $608.52
