Accessory drive belt - Porsche 911 C2 / C4 type 996, Boxster / Cayman type 986 w/o AC

Porsche

Genuine Porsche serpentine accessory drive belt for Porsche 911, Boxster and Cayman models equipped with the M96 engine and no air conditioning. Recommended to be replaced every 60,000 miles as a preventive measure on Porsche vehicles seeing an average mileage of 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year. Vehicles seeing less mileage or those which sit for long periods without being run especially in a non-climate controlled environment, should have their belts replaced on a time rather than mileage basis, typically every five years.

Regardless of vehicle use an annual inspection should be performed to check for cracking, damage or other issues, especially on Porsches used on track or seeing significant sporting use.

We also recommend checking and if necessary replacing the accessory belt tensioner and tensioner roller when replacing the accessory drive belt. As a relatively simple but crucial part of your Porsche's cooling, air conditioning, power steering and electrical systems, a drive belt system issue can lead to significant engine failures at worst or leave you stranded on the side of the road at best. If in doubt, replace. A new accessory drive belt is cheap insurance to avoid more significant problems.
