Hello all, can you please help. I don't want to cut an access hole or drop the engine... But can you tell me how to access the pulley and remove the nut to change the fan belt? I've tried everything and would need four triple jointed arms it seems.
Also, how do you find TDC easily so I can adjust the valves? Thank you in advance. Ben |

Everyone will have their own method for the fanbelt – this is mine.
Drill a hole in the end of the Porsche C-spanner fan locking tool. Get some steel strip and bend and drill holes in it so that one end will bolt onto the 2 coil mounting studs on the fan housing and the other will bolt to the end of the c-spanner when it’s in position on the fan hub. You can now lock the fan and have both hands free! (Sounds laborious but takes less than a minute to remove the coil and set it up). With the fan locked it’s easy to get a socket to the fan nut just by feel. On re-assembly you have to set up the shims by feel, but use a thin (thin, thin thin) spot of grease on each one so that they stick together and don’t fall off when you let go to reach for the next one. Set up the locking tool again. Using this, replacing the fanbelt comes as close to being a breeze as I’ve ever found it. It’s certainly no longer daunting. |
