Is there a kit for all three belts for sale anywhere? Or does anyone have part numbers (or even better, links to a store) for the belts?

Thanks, signed

I got stranded once in town by a dead DME, been carrying a spare since. And of course haven't had any issues since.

I too would interested in what/where I need to buy for a full belt replacement kit.

Interesting. Seeing some clear trends with belts and alternators. The clutch hose is a surprise though.

Almost. The immobilizer has acted up twice, but started working again before having to get towed (was actually at a Porsche dealer the 1st time).


Had a serious flat once, but put the spare on. Belt sensor failed once, drove home.

Had a clutch hose go out on my 968 but not the 993.

I have only had one scare on the road and that was when the immobilizer light came on. Not knowing what that could portend, I quickly turned around and went home. Has not been a problem since.

Put me in the belt category. I was a new owner and clueless. Belt-light came on. Had it towed and fixed same day. Now I carry the usual belt spares/tools/knowledge needed to fix on road along with the spare DME relay and other goodies.

Twice. Both times I threw a belt. They were Conti belts that were slightly out of spec. I think my shop installed a fix and put OEM belts on. I still get a squeal from the belt slipping when I first drive the car after storing it for the winter, especially on hard downshifts.

No, not yet!!!

Belts, fob battery, and rear tire.

For those of you who haven't lost a tire, do consider where you'll be storing that 265-295 (or larger) blob as you continue your journey.

Almost got stuck in the snow, too. Rather, the pads were frozen to the calipers after only being axle deep for a few hours on the slopes. Lots of gentle rocking, and borderline clutch abuse to get going.

No, not once with any of the four 911s I've had. And that will surely change the very next time I head out now that I've spoken about it.

Add to the above suggestions ... a can of Fix a Flat

Amazing what is in our tool kits with trends in roadside emergencies.
