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.

2003 3.6 Manual C4S - As part of this winters preventative maintenance program I'm going to replace the 2 x idler and 1 x tensioner roller/pulleys. What is the collective thinlking on this?
Shell out for Porsche OEM
Go the D911 OE match route
Or buy the Dayco ones (metal apparently) from RockAuto in the US
Thanks folks.
@Alex
might have some advice on this
Tensioner Pulley left me stranded in the South of France!
As some will be aware, I've just been down to St Tropez with my son (to join a mate) on holiday. Had the usual couple of issues - water washer pipe came off inside the inner wing (20 minute job before breakfast to fix that) & passenger door mechanism microswitch broke - new Audi TT replacement...

That would be very useful, thank you. Which ones/part numbers did you order? I ordered engine mounts from them a couple of years ago, fantastic service and fast delivery.
Sorry and yes...Rockauto were frankly amazing ! Ordered the parts which are cheap as chips and arrived quicker than some ebay purchases ...the website is a bit clunky but yes order with confidence

Cheers, I'd had a look but they didn't seem to list the tensioner pulley or anything for the 3.6 at all, just 3.4 idler pulleys. I'm happy to admit it's not something ive got as far as looking into whether they are different etc. yet.
