Quality video, thank you.

Great video, very clear. Can you please tell me what Belt brand you used. I noticed that Porsche is about 3x the price of OEM belts. Where did you buy the belt ? Thanks.

Van,

Is this what is known as the serpentine belt on a 996 Mk2?

There's not a lot of belt engagement on the power steering on those cars, eh? Do they suffer from belt slippage on that pulley?

Monte Olsen says:

Awesome video! Thanks, Van. I can definitely put this one to good use. I didn't realize it was so easy to take out and install the belt.

Daniel Barkman says:

Nicely done but i think you banged that belt against the rear bumper 64 times! Next video how to repaint a 996 rear bumper?
