Time for belt change. But not the pump yet.

did you guys replace all the rollers as well? Or just the belt?

V2Rocket

both belts and all rollers are a must-do IMO.

Absolutely! Belts and rollers for sure. Inspect your seals and replace as necessary. I'm in the middle of this on my 86' Turbo.

cool! now gotta debate rather I get them from 944online, pelicanparts or somewhere else

Can't go wrong with any of those vendors. I'm a Paragon-Products guy and Jason has been good to me for many years (since the early 2000's). I think my belt and roller kit was just a tad over $200 (gates belts).
Good luck!

Zims and Pelican have the best pricing that I've seen.
$210-$250 depending on belt brand.

I follow the information on Clarks-Garage and Porsche Dealer regarding the roller change-very similiar.
BUT, any roller with a gritty feel or spins weird is immediately changed.

Make sure you grab the WP water pump impeller and pull---tug--wiggle-check for any moisture on the shaft. ANY uncommon "feel",, the WP water pump should be replaced.

Second on the Clarks Garage :-)
Also consider the front seals if you see oil around there (Balance shaft housing and oil pump O-rings seals, and sealant).
I am in the midst of my first timing belt change.
It's become an adventure of finding the "other" stuff that needed maintenance.
