The alternator belt transfers rotational drive from the engine pulley to the alternator. This allows the alternator to generate electrical power for the vehicle and charge the battery while the engine is running. A correctly tensioned and good-condition belt is essential for reliable electrical system operation.
Functions
• Replaces the alternator drive belt
• Drives the alternator from the engine pulley
• Supports correct battery charging
• Helps maintain electrical system performance
• Suitable for vehicles without air conditioning
• Replaces cracked, glazed, stretched, frayed, or slipping belts
• OE Match replacement for Porsche 944 and 968 charging system service.
Why Replace This Part?
Alternator belts wear over time due to heat, engine vibration, pulley contact, age, and tension changes. A worn belt can crack, glaze, stretch, fray, squeal, or slip on the pulleys. If the belt fails, the alternator may stop charging the battery, which can lead to warning lights, electrical faults, flat battery issues, or vehicle breakdown. Replacing the belt helps maintain dependable charging system operation.
When to Replace This Part
• The alternator belt is cracked, glazed, frayed, loose, or worn
• Belt squeal is heard during start-up or acceleration
• The battery warning light appears
• Charging system output is low or inconsistent
• The alternator, pulleys, or tensioning components are being serviced
• Preventative belt replacement is being carried out during maintenance
• The vehicle is undergoing Porsche 944 or 968 engine bay refurbishment.
Where it fits on the car
This belt fits on the alternator drive system on Porsche 944 and 968 models without air conditioning. It runs between the relevant engine pulley and alternator pulley according to the factory belt routing.

The idler pulley supports the accessory drive belt, helping to:
• Maintain proper belt routing and tension, preventing slipping and reducing premature wear.
• Guide the belt around engine accessories such as the alternator, power steering pump, A/C compressor, and water pump.
• Ensure smooth operation of components driven by the belt for optimal engine performance.
If the idler pulley wears out or the bearing fails, you may hear squealing, chirping, or grinding noises, see uneven belt wear, or experience belt misalignment - indicators it’s time for replacement.
A worn or failing idler pulley can cause the drive belt to slip, misalign, or break, which can in turn disrupt power to critical engine accessories. Symptoms include belt noise, squealing, or loss of accessory function (e.g., A/C, alternator charging), potentially leading to more costly repairs if ignored. Replacing it with an OE Match pulley ensures proper belt tension and routing, helping keep your engine’s accessory systems functioning smoothly.
Replace the idler pulley if you notice any of the following:
• Squealing, chirping, or grinding noises from the belt area
• Visible belt misalignment or excessive wear
• Pulley bearing play or rough rotation to the touch
• Cracks or deterioration of the pulley surface
