Replacing the Pulleys and Belt on the Porsche Cayman S

I needed to replace the pulleys on my 2006 Porsche Cayman S because they become brittle after many years in service. I also replaced the alternator / accessory belt during this process as well. Please see the link below if you'd like to acquire this kit for your car.

Great video, but I would offer a suggestion. I would start the engine and run it, at least for a short while, and do a visual inspection of the belts before covering them up, even if it's simply for peace of mind.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

That's a heck of a garage you got there, Pat! 2 amazing cars!

[@PatsGarageOnline]

Thank you Justin!

Hey I have a issue with my 15mm hex head bolt that holds the tension pulley the hex part rounded out! Can u help me? How does the bar for the tensioner come off??

[@Phantom-pg3tv]

Learned a lot. Just subscribed.

[@Dragonista89]

[@PatsGarageOnline]

Thank you Rell!

[@builtyankeegirl]

A well done video and those who love to wrench will find this a big $$$ saver to spend on better things. The more you learn your ride the less you rely on others.

[@evans-garage]

Well done 👍🏻

[@PatsGarageOnline]

Thank you Evan!

Thank you!

I suggest using FCP Euro's belt and pulley replacement kit, available here: www.fcpeuro.com/products/porsche-accessory-drive-belt-kit-boxster-cayman-911-adk0029p

[@Evapors]

My guy Pat!!!!

[@PatsGarageOnline]

Did you notice that I changed out the bridge to no-where???

[@SteveRogers461]

I really want one of these cars but I really really don't want the maintenance costs and I'm not skilled enough to maintain myself!!! So I'll stick with Toyota and maybe get a GT86 😬

[@k-van9570]

Did the PPI tell you about these things or did you know that you have to this when you bought it?

[@arun_katti]

Great video, thanks. One question however - if not replacing the tensioner after all, why buy the kit that includes the tensioner? There are other kits that consist of just the belt and the three pulleys - is that not a better buy?

[@PatsGarageOnline]

I didn't price out the parts without the tensioner before looking into what the process was to replace the tensioner. It may be cheaper without it but then again, it's a small part. And I'd rather have it on hand just in case.

[@rashadedwards5725]

Hey Pat do you do work on other people porsche cayman vehicles? I see you got your cayman about a month or two before I acquired mine we have about 5k difference in mileage. I'm from Maryland as well.

[@PatsGarageOnline]

Good to meet you. I don't work on other people's cars unless they're loved ones. I don't have any liability coverage to dot hat.

[@wtfsagigawatt1915]

You could have loosened the othe alternator bolt tilted it up and removed the bolt instead of bending the bulkhead

[@Boomtowndogs]

Do you do all of the maintenance on this car?

[@PatsGarageOnline]

I do as much as I can.

[@Srihari229]

Must be the pulley’s belt noise

[@PatsGarageOnline]

My belt was quiet. I decided to swap it out due to how long it was on the car as preventive maintenance.

[@spencerhepworth6435]

I got screwed because that stubborn bolt got stripped

[@PatsGarageOnline]

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear it!

[@jimsego172]

Got to ask, how did you fix it?

[@spencerhepworth6435]

@@jimsego172 it became a 2 man job, but we were able to hammer a wrench on it hard enough to get the leverage we needed to undo it. If anyone ever needs to take that thing off again though, good luck to them...

I don’t advise anyone to do similar things in other hands I would advise people to drop their vehicle on dealerships workshop for more safer and gets 5 years warranty on everything they repair. Believe me dealerships are better for saving money and time
