Tried to fit serpentine belt BUT the replacement belts are far  too small , both ordered using my registration Gates belt 6PK 2115 and Dayco belt 6PK 2115 ,when i removed the belt currently on my car it’s a Dayco 6PK 2160 ,?????

Possibly I have had the same thought , my car has AC and the retailers didn’t give any choices regarding AC or None AC , 

No ac would be a smaller not bigger belt.

Checked my spare in the garage and its 2115. 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

Is yours a gen 2. I think they have a different belt

Base 987.1 I think 🤔 Same as mine. I couldn’t get my new 6pk2115 on either last year.Still haven’t so watching with interest.

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

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.
