Merv Posted 4August, 2019 Report Share Posted 4August, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autojack Posted 5August, 2019 Report Share Posted 5August, 2019 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.

Merv Posted 5August, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 5August, 2019 I am coming around to that view as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dav Posted 6August, 2019 Report Share Posted 6August, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merv Posted 6August, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 6August, 2019 That is very helpful! We should all watch that video. I found the fan belt online. Mine is an Optibelt Porsche labelled one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911 Posted 26November, 2023 Report Share Posted 26November, 2023 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: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/9991923135A.htm?pn=999-192-313-5A-OEM&SVSVSI=590&DID=202383 https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/9991921765A.htm?pn=999-192-176-5A-M100&SVSVSI=590&DID=221152 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
