Belts - Alternator and AC

[Merv]

I want to replace my alternator/fan belt and the AC belt.  The alternator belt is a Porsche part (as its the unused one in the tool kit that came with the car).  

I looked at Dayco online and they seem to have both V belts.  Where do folk her buy their drive belts?  I am concerned about getting the correct length for each of them.

Repco, Gates. Take yours in for measuring.

I just went straight to the dealer. The alternator belt was $10 or so, and then I knew I was getting the right thing. Read a lot of stories on Pelican of people buying that belt at an auto parts store and ending up with something that was too small.

I still haven't gotten around to installing it. Some people talk about pulling the fuel pump relay and cranking the engine to get the belt seated. I was trying to figure out how common that approach is, since it's not in the shop manual.

I am coming around to that view as well.

I got one from a dealer in Melbourne for my 3.2.  It took a day to come in but it does have "Porsche" on it and wasn't very expensive!  I got a free coffee and had a good look at the showroom at the same time.  Win win

This may be a start for you, these are the belts on my 930

alternator belt: Optibelt AVX 10x710

air con belt: Gates 13A1205

This might help...or confuse

That is very helpful! We should all watch that video.

 I found the fan belt online.  Mine is an Optibelt Porsche labelled one.

A bit of an old topic, but does anyone know the correct part number for the fan belt? Trying to chase up a spare, as it's probably not wise to use the one in the tool kit.

Seems to be two different ones:
