Porsche 911/996TT Turbo Acc. Belt Change DIY How-To!

- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Hi Everyone,
Today’s video is a step by step on how to replace the serpentine accessory belt on a 2004 Porsche 911/996TT Turbo. It is a little different than the normally aspirated cars, but should be the same for a GT3 and GT2. It is a straight forward process and I take you through each step. I even give you a trick on how to get that air box out and back in super easily. The part isn’t that expensive and I believe the service interval is 60K miles so we are just due.
Tools and parts:
• Replacement Belt - 999-192-379-50
• 7mm Nut Driver
• 13mm Socket
• 14mm Socket
• Extender
• Ratchet
• Torque wrench
• 24mm long wrench

When I owned my last 996TT back in the 2007-2011 timeframe, I was the DIY king, and wrote a number of How-To articles on this platform. I buy this new to me 996TT and every time I search for a how-to I don't already have, YOU pop up and YOUR videos are SPOT ON!!! BRAVO!
Thanks! Glad they are helpful.
You make it look easy. Thanks for another great video. Going to check out a 2004 turbo tomorrow. Hope it checks out! Keep up the great work👍
Thanks for this video, just changed the belt on my Turbo, $25 instead of about $300 at the garage. 😎. Not to mention what I learnt. Appreciate it!
Another brilliant D-I-Y Franny. Great heads up on those little rubber grommets! "DoppelT" sounds smooth and happy with the new belt!
+Nick Heser I drove the car on Monday and today! Heidi
Your engines are all so clean! I wonder if you'll do a video of detailing a motor.
Great video. It makes me wonder if there should be an award for the most complicated routing of belts.
I know... They really wanted to 180 to at least 270 deg of surface and some of the idlers are like a cm apart from each other!
Just did my belt today based on this guide! Overall not bad, but 2002 TT X50 definitely had a different belt diagram, just something to note if you are doing a 2002.
Awesome videos Franny! Thanks for documenting the Porsche work you are doing!
Wow! The engine is so clean. It seems to make the repair go better...
Yes.
My car is a 997 turbo and wonder removing the air box is similar as 996 turbo. BTW I am a big fan of your channel please make more 996 maintenance videos perhaps some 997 turbo ones as well. Thank you
We have another 996 video very soon!
Heidi and Franny's Garage excellent
Such a great series of videos! Thank you!
Andreas Bergius awesome. Glad you enjoyed.
Great job as usual! One suggestion though - next time coat both the serpentine belt and the rubber grommets with 303 Aerospace Protectant. Just spray liberally those on all sides and let dry for 30 minutes prior to installation. Those items will last much longer without cracking.
Good to know! Is that something you need to re-apply down the road? Thanks, Franny
Just when installed with a good soaking. However, I like periodically to clean/condition all reachable rubber bits with 303 AP, as doing so they just last forever.
awesome! and I especially respect tips like the lost air housing pegs, the wire guide, and taking pictures of the routing.....so many people don't know about those things going into it. The "feel the pegs" was exactly spot-on! Thanks so much. You doing brakes soon!?
Great video!! This on my to-do list and I’ll come back to follow along step by step!
Yea! Yeah, pretty straight forward. It might be a little different on the NA cars, but not much. The hardest part is the air box! Franny
Great video. Thanks! Love your DIY vids.
+Max's Car Blog thank you!
It should be noted that the 24mm wrench is not needed. It's MUCH easier to put a 15mm socket on the bolt on the tensioner (above we're Franny says) and release the tension that way.
Are you sure you can get enough leverage? I used the big 'ol wrench more because of its length... Do you use a large break-over bar? F
Heidi and Franny's Garage I used a large 1/2" socket wrench with a small extension and a 15mm socket. The center nut on my tensioner was starting to round out, so this method made it much easier as the socket wouldn't slip. You do have to put some muscle into it for leverage, but an extra breaker bar could easily solve that.
Thanks so much! You make it look easier than it is, but it gave me the confidence to perceiver! In hind sight it’s very doable. But the 24 mm wrench 🔧 is a struggle to squeeze in there and the belt wants to be a pain to come all the way out, for sure. Like you said , you need to work it. Thanks again for the great videos!!
Glad it was helpful :)
Top notch tutorial! Thx!!
I really enjoy these videos. Fanny always dresses so nice while making the videos. When I work on my car I look like a hobo.
Paul Jarz Thanks Paul! You should see me do CV joints... I'm always a chocolate smurf after that! Franny
Thank you! 🙂🤟
Another great video...
Thanks for the clear video. It looks like a relatively easy job. I can see you use a Continental replacement belt, is that the standard OEM Porsche belt as there seem to be several different makes available? Is the Continental your preferred manufacturer? I don't want to buy one that's not top quality. thanks again.
We don't remember, but we usually do our research. If you're really worried, get it from a dealership.
Anyone who dislikes these videos probably drives a KIA.
How about a video on how to remove front bumper to clean radiators?
I have one where I replace a front radiator: ua-cam.com/video/ACLaRKjbf5o/v-deo.html
Just used this DIY to change the belt on my 2004 996 turbo. Great video! Franny, how did you know the belt was routed correctly around the crankshaft pulley? It was very hard to see.
Great video which you make look very easy. I have one question before I go off and attempt this. Firstly my belt was last changed six years ago although the car has only done 20,000 miles in that time. It has done almost 190,000 miles in total. Do you recommend changing the belt as recommended by Porsche as it's six years old even though it has only done 20,000 miles? Secondly I noticed when you were torquing up those three bolts towards the end that one of the bolts was too tight for the torque wrench and you seemed to just use a spanner (wrench) by 'feel'. Is that right? Perhaps you could loosen the tensioner enough to allow you to spin the pulley by hand so that the final bolt becomes accessible for your torque wrench. Again, great video.
We always use torque specs. We never do by 'feel'.
Thanks for this very good tutorial! Do you know if the serpentine belt is the same on the gt3 2004 ?
Very well done!!! On our 02 Carrera I do not take the pulley off, just mess with the belt and it comes off. Also, a good time to change the air filter. Since the belt is a key fundamental component and can be replaced on the side of the road I carry one with the car and the needed wrenches...
There is a guard around that pulley that makes it tight, but I bet you could do it without that step. Having a spare is always great insurance and swapping it out is way less time than waiting for a tow truck!
I don't remember a guard on our 02, might be a year or Turbo difference...
Joe Warren I think the turbo is a bit different. I'd have to see a NA to be sure...
when could you do on video how to fix leaking wing RAM, changing oring , bleed etc
Hi Franny, Is it absolutely necessary to pull the pulley off? Thanks! Great content!
A little bit of RTV silicone on the grommets will make sure they will never fall off the chassis when removing or installing the air box!
There is absolutely no need to remove the pulley. The whole belt can easily be replaced by using the 24mm spanner to slacken the whole thing off via the mid tensioner, if the spanner is zip tied in the fully released position then the belt will slip over the last pulley easily, then cut the zip tie.
Really not sure why these and others show the removal of the large pulley.
Awesome, as ever, thanks x
Thanks so much! Franny
Great video! But, the bolt is not 14 MM it's 13 MM ;)
Those air boxes are tricky to get back on. You can use a 13 or 14mm socket on the top of the tensioner instead of the 24 mm wrench.
I heard that... So is it on the arm itself? The cool think about that 24mm is that it is super long and gives really good leverage... I always have to rediscover that air box maneuver each time. It will drive you crazy if you just try to fit is as it sits in the car...
Heidi and Franny's Garage I had to have my alternator rebuilt a few weeks ago, so I fought the alternator, y pipe, and air box on reassembly. It is that little arm above the tensioner, but a 24 mm wrench works just as good. Have you considered metal recirculation valves? One of mine was toast so I installed the evolution Motorsports valves and F hose. My car has cooler plugs, EB werks exhaust, and Cobb accessport stage 2 tune.
How often do you have to change belts
I think the service interval is 60K miles, but the belt looked fine when I took it out. More preventative than anything else. If it goes you have nothing, it is pretty important.
Hi Franny .hi Heidi. How are thing with you? .I hope fine! .so this plastic box is complicated, because it has turning 180 degrees is not?.but if a person does not know this, breaking the box.. am I right?
Things are great! Thanks! Yes, you need to be careful when removing the air box and, more importantly, when you re-install it. It is pretty much impossible to install without the twisty bit. But, with it, it goes right in. Franny
Is the recommended service interval for the serpentine belts/hoses different from that of a non turbo car? I wasn't sure if the extra heat from the turbos required more frequent changes of the belts and hoses.
Not sure if it is really required, but probably a good idea with all that is riding on it. The turbos are down low and there is a nice deck-lid fan to cool things so I bet it isn't really any hotter. I didn't like how shiny the belt had become. One less thing to go wrong at the wrong time I suppose ;) Franny
