Tony Daniel Posted August 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Maybe its one for a non-aircon car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def1 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Possibly I have had the same thought , my car has AC and the retailers didn’t give any choices regarding AC or None AC , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberty Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 A new belt is tight. Did you try someone holding the tensioner whilst you get the belt on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think why yours has a larger belt fitted. I have an underdrive pulley fitted to mine and the belt for that is 2100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t get my new 6pk2115 on either last year.Still haven’t so watching with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def1 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I have a 987.1 and it’s a 2007 , the 2115s are way to small and I think would damage something it i could get them on , the 2160 fit it just like on all the you tube videos really easy to fit , I might try and buy another 2160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascender Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I took the wind deflector out and removed an aftermarket Porsche logo on there which was a bit tacky and distracting tbh. Gave it a clean to get rid of the goo and put it back in - I’ve ordered some black tacky stuff to try and reduce the rattle at higher speeds. Swapped out the climate control buttons for ones from Uro Tuning. Unfortunately the TEMP one must be ever-so-slightly off as it doesn’t move as freely as the fan one. Have left it in but mailed them about a replacement. I guess the old switches I should really get painted and sell on. Managed to get another locking wheel nut off and replaced so am down to one stubborn one left to do. Need to work out if there’s anything I can do to fix the cup holder cover which struggles to stay closed - I see there’s full replacement units for £150 or so on eBay but feels like overkill for what seems to be just a small broken clip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostinespace Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Second bump stop fitted, the first was a right faff but this one quicker. Old one was 15 years old and crumbly. New PS4's are on, replacing 2011 Potenza's, feels a lot softer I think the old ones were like wooden cart wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
