Hi guys,

I have a 968CS that has about 39,000 miles on it.



The car has been in 'storage' in for the last two years as I've been living overseas for that time. The belts were last changed about 4-5 years ago so I think it's time to do them again.



I've noticed that there are kits for sale online which include belts, rollers etc. for $179. Are these a good buy ..it seems like they are OEM. Kit includes:



Cam Belt Tensioner Roller Porsche # 94410524102



Cam Belt Tensioner Roller Porsche # 94410563110



Balance Shaft Tensioner Roller Porsche #94410227706



Balance Shaft Tensioner Roller Porsche # 94410202507



Camshaft Belt Porsche # 94410532302



Balance Shaft Belt Porsche #94410221904



Is there anything else you guys think I should change in regards to that area?

ps. these will be installed by an independant Porsche service centre.



Regards,

Steve

Balance shaft seals and o-rings.

It depends how far you want to go. Was the waterpump changed 4-5 years ago (w/ thermostat)? Do you want to replace the front end seals (balance, balance, crank, cam)? Was the balance shaft tensioner replaced last time? Don't forget the accessory belts. There is an extensive list floating around here somewhere. Good luck.

oof - good call on the tensioner - jay just had that problem - big bummer
