Great to know. Thanks. Do you need to gain access by removing the center muffler or can you get to the tri-bracket nuts with muffler in place and/or engine cross support brace in place?

Gentleman….just a short question, since I am due for the serpentine belt change on my 991.1 GT3.

Since the belt change is a service manual item, will it affect warranty in case you change that belt yourself ?

If you're in the US, short answer is no. Unless you use a non-Porsche part and or install it improperly causing direct damage. If you install it correctly with a Porsche part, you're good.

I only needed to remove bumper, intake box, and rear bumper brace.

Required at what age or miles?

Great time to put those new side cans on and save 35 lbs and gain some wonderful sound

Thanks. That’s what I needed to know.

Before you remove the bolts on the brace, you should know the torque values. (I don't know them personally, but someone may chime in.)

Just dropped mine off for this service. They didn't do it at the 4-year service: "It looks fine." I'm buying the belt and they're covering the labor.

But while I was there... Well, let's just say someone's about to have a great day.

Any more updates? I’m going to be doing this very soon.

Just had mine done by the local Porsche Indy shop on Friday. ~$750

Kudos for them covering the labor.

"Looking fine" is great, however is unacceptable. It's prescriptive for the GT3/GT3 RS/GT2 that the belt is done during its 4-year, which by not following the annual inspection could likely deter future owners.

(If that's not important to you... ignore anything in the recommended maintenance. )

tubwreck

Yeah. I specifically requested the belt change as part of the 4-yr service, which is why they covered the labor. I guess I should dress better...
