Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Couldn't hurt to check the possibility that Porsche didn't change that arrangement, at the time they were like five bucks a piece.

Just replaced the serpintine belt and checked all the pulleys and anything that would spin, like waterpump and such.

PS (don't want to embarrass myself twice but) 987 series, = PS pump and that squeak and when it occurs sounds like that could be a place to check too, fluid level and otherwise.

Every pulley had a common sized bearing that could easily be pressed out, purchased at NAPA and replaced, they were dirt cheap at the time.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Just replaced the serpintine belt and checked all the pulleys and anything that would spin, like waterpump and such. - YouTube Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. youtube.com Would love any ideas before I take it to my indy.

POST 2Original post

Although a PIA, open the rear access behind the seats, have someone else blip the accelerator and get as far inside as you can to check it again. If it has to go to the Indy he's going to get in there anyway. Since you stated the belt was just changed and assuming you had no squeak before said change, it always makes the most sense to look over where you last wrenched Also, additional tension of a new belt might be manifesting a squeak where there was none before, the water-pump might only squeak under load, hence the suggestion. When you say you checked everything that spins did that include the tensioner too? Lastly, I did this on my 986 so it may not apply but in case it still does. Every pulley had a common sized bearing that could easily be pressed out, purchased at NAPA and replaced, they were dirt cheap at the time. Couldn't hurt to check the possibility that Porsche didn't change that arrangement, at the time they were like five bucks a piece. PS (don't want to embarrass myself twice but) 987 series, = PS pump and that squeak and when it occurs sounds like that could be a place to check too, fluid level and otherwise.

POST 3Original post

It squeeked before I replaced the belt, one of thr reasons I swap a new belt on. It really only sqweeks when warm and under load.. Especially if I bog it at low rpms...thinking it might be new water pump time. I hear they only last for about 50k anyways.

POST 4Original post

+1 on the tensioner check. they tend to age and go bad... looks like a small absorber. when I last did my water pump, the belt, pulleys and tensioner were all replaced. this link might be useful.... 9A1 100,000 Kms (60k miles) Water Pump, Belts and... it has been a few months of hunting down increasingly worrying sounds coming from various parts of the car. some intermittent, some there in the form of pulsing, tapping or grinding. thankfully with a good tech from a local indy, managed to get the source of the sounds traced to the water pump... www.planet-9.com
