I will also be replacing the bolts on the side of the drive belt to make sure this doesn't happen anymore.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I wanted to share my experience with the housing for the K&N air intake housing. Since it was 40 degrees out today I decided to do quick was down of the engine bay when I noticed a lot of fine rubber shavings. Upon further review a bolt on the intake housing was rubbing in the drive belt. It maybe removed about 1.5 millimeters of rubber from the drive belt. It's a clean cut, but still enough I ordered a new belt already. I will also be replacing the bolts on the side of the drive belt to make sure this doesn't happen anymore.

POST 2Original post

Interesting...I literally just finished installing my K&N CAI intake into my 996. I'll keep an extra eye onto it as I slowly rack mileage onto my car. Glad your taking good caution in replacing the belt and bolts.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Glad someone read this, replacing the belt is easy, but more of a pain than anything. At least now I have 2 backup serpentine belts in the frunk! When I installed mine and I checked clearances and everything looked fine. I remember being able to run a finger between the bolt and the belt. I wonder if the intake is flexing under load and pulling the shield into the belt. If I see it rubbing again I'll have it spot welded.

POST 4Original post

Good catch on your part. The sap belt is an easy fix and you caught it just in time.
