How to adjust the alternator and fan belts on a 993 using a belt tensioning gauge:

 



The below procedure is done using the inexpensive Gates KRIKIT Belt Tensioning Gauge referred to as "special tool 9574". 

There appears to be more than one variation in the KRIKIT device, one is for higher levels of tensioning than our cars require. Be sure to buy the one with the  15 to 70kg scale so it can be used with the process below.

Also at the bottom of this URL Page is additional information concerning the belts, changing them, and a pulley update.

Pleae note the fan & alternator belts have a slightly narrower 9.5mm profile when compared with standard generic belts and may be most easily obtained as a dealer part. Using a wider profile V belt may result in a shortened belt service life.


If when properly tensioned you still find you are breaking belts consider the factory pulley update described at the bottom of this page.
