These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

Hi guys I have a horrible squeak that comes from the ancilliary area which I mentioned in a post some time ago, I just had a major service but they "didn't have time to do the pullies.". (that's two indie services where this was mentioned and remains unfixed!) Can I just check that I have the correct (and all required) items please? E.g. do I acxtually need the Tensioner element? It was suggested in this forum to use only genuine Porsche parts for the tensioner, think it may have been Alexs' post here . i think i'll buy the parts and just get "any old garage" to fit them. Deflection roller: Code: 99610211856/2 (OE match) Deflection roller: Code: 99710211900/1 (OE match) Tensioner roller (997 but appears to be recommended): Code: 99710211700 (Genuine Porsche) Tensioner element (997 but appears to be recommended): Code: 99710226000 (Genuine Porsche) Design 911: £361.62 Belt: brand new (already installed)

POST 2Original post

Think I paid around £60 for my tensioner from Frejus OPC. Worth calling your local OPC for a price. Easy job for any local mechanic to do and should only take an hour or so.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Alex, did you just replace the tensioner roller or the roller and tensioner element? This appears to describe the items on design 911 the tensioner element being number 2

POST 5Original post

You do know the first 2 rollers, OE Match, are aftermarket from China right?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 2696557

Yes, the general thought seems to be the tensioner is all important and must be Porsche original, the others are pretty irrelevant.

POST 7Original post

Not so irrelevant! I had an idler roller bearing go while in France and it's very inconvenient. Just change them all and rest easy!!

POST 8Original post

Just reread your earlier post and I see you do intend to replace all of them, do get best quality items anyway.

POST 9Original post

There are true OEM parts available instead of buying from Porsche.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ended up buying the three Porsche OE at £245.05. Ouch for three basic bearings/rollers (especially after a rather hefty £1100 service). I was also told that i need to change both front and rear brake hard pipes which is extremely expensive, drop gearbox and engine Thanks for the input guys, not a sexy topic I understand.
