How to Replace the Belt on a Porsche Boxster 986

- Replacing the main drive belt is part of regular maintenance on any vehicle. If the belt is cracked, torn or starts to squeal it should be replaced. It should also be replaced about every 40k miles or so.
After being convinced my belt was too small and trying to find the "correct" one. I watched your video and did everything you did and got the belt on first (50th) try. Thanks for posting!!
Love your videos. A little long-winded sometimes but overall all good info. It's nice to see an every day Joe doing these repairs in his garage vs. the fully decked out mechanic working on an engine that's on a bench. Real world situations that you handle well - even with the occasional oops (like the flywheel drop in the IMS segments).
Just know that your videos are appreciated - and thanks for sharing!
Ben I hope you're well and it would be amazing to see a new video at some point (on anything) ...you're a natural and very watchable.
Thanks Ben. Your video gave the motivation to do it myself. This weekend I replaced my drive belt. As usual it took a little bit longer to do the job. But Yeh....... that's me. Most of the time there are one or two bolds leftover in the end. Now I coudn't find any......
Greetings from The Netherlands.
You rock dude! I just bought a 99 986, super fun and you helped inspire me to go with a Box
Awesome, man! Such great cars!
When I replaced my belt, I turn the engine over before I replaced the Fire wall cover & carpet. Just to check alinement.Look forward to see some more projects. Ed
Might want to put the cover on finger tight first. If that belt flies loose, not sure you want to be sitting inches away from what would happen next without the cover to protect you.
Thank you. I moved to a small town, and no one will touch my boxster for 200 miles.
Thanks Ben. Refer to your videos a lot having bought a 986 3.2S 2004. Done a number of jobs, took me months to identify coolant loss. Eventually used fluorescent dye in the coolant and found leak at waterpump with uv torch. Replacing next. Thanks again.
Ps also tried blue dye method to eliminate emissions in coolant. Stayed blue thank goodness!!!
Hey Ben Regards from the North of Englend.Your videos have been sooooo useful in maintaining my 996Keep it up mateMuch love!!G
Cheers, mate! Happy I can help.
Job done this afternoon... saved £90 ... thanks mate!
Awesome! Well done, mate! It's a great feeling fixing things and saving money!
Thanks very much for showing me how.. I just done mine great success
Low key might be the easiest belt to get too this just made me want to get one
As always, good video. Many thanks.
On my 1999 Boxste, I removed belt to install new water pump. On reinstallation of the belt, I noticed the AC pulley could rotate freely. Is this normal? Car has 40k miles.
Love your videos, so very helpful.. Cheers..
Great share and video, thanks!
Good video Very Helpful
Thanks!
Increase the playback speed to 1.5X and it is tolerable to listen to, and it brings him up to almost normal speech rate.
Hahaha. that is actually true.
Later 987.2 Cayman/Boxster Belt Tensioner Pivot Arm also seizes. I replaced arm @WHnw
Nicely done.
Cool !! You made it
Very good video I was wondering if you checked your rollers? I checked mine and they did not sounds smooth to me, have you looked for rollers and if you did what brand is the best? Again a great job!!
+William Carroll All my rollers seemed pretty smooth when I was in there. Are your rollers noisy? I'd expect them to be a bit noisy if they're bad.

Hey man is this like a timing belt ? Those this car have a timing belt ? I did the IMS and RMS on my Porsche ..also replaced the AOS but it sorta feels like its idle off just a bit ...that doesn’t have to do anything with timing belt or chain ?
This belt has nothing to do with timing, just runs the accessories (alternator, A/C compressor, water pump). Could be plugs or coils - just a thought.
hey burner..have an issue..bought a 99..it died as I was pulling in my driveway hasn't started since..sputters every few times but won't start any ideas

new engine time
Check your oil for metal shavings, if you have them, then you IMS blew.
Jsmes Wagner what was the prob ?
OMG could Porsche make that access hole any friggen smaller?????
Has your model got air con
I hate to say this.. but this is 1/10th the trouble compared to replacing the serpentine belt in my 1998 Diesel Bug !.. the factory procedure to do that.. involves removing the front of car !
Hi Ben can you tell me were you got that Bentley Service Manual?
Believe I found it on Amazon: amzn.to/2oMUAtn
Amazon.com - ~ $80
what brand belt did you use?
As I recall, Optibelt from Pelican Parts. I believe it's the OEM supplier.
Wow. This car is not easy to work on.
Sehr schöner porsche
doesnt even know what to call a pulley! or anything else LOL
Hi Tim,
Your sentence doesn't contain any pronouns or subjects, so it's not at all clear who you're talking about. I'll assume you're saying you don't know what a pulley is. I would suggest you don't worry about it. You're clearly really struggling to form coherent sentences. You should try to master the English language, then worry about the names of common car parts.
Yep. Not a single inference can be made of context. You say all of that because I left out the obvious YOU 😅
I mean make your own fckin video then? lmao
Yet he does all his own maintenance on his Porsche saving himself lots of $$$. Does it really matter? I think it speaks to a lot of people that even a person that doesn't know all the right names for the car parts can still do the work if they set their mind to it.
Blah Blah Blah. Half the video is blathering and saying uhh....
make a better one on your channel...sheesh
