Not long after buying my car 8 years ago, I purchased a new serpentine belt from Autozone. I couldn't get it on for the life of me and ended up taking it back. It was the correct belt (can't remember brand) but flat out wouldn't go on. I ended up buying another brand belt and it went right on without issue.

The Gates premium brand belt is what I had. Heluva struggle but worth it in the end. The Conti belt is 'floppier' and easier to install. YEMV

I have the gates belt and I can't get it on for the life of me. Installed the old one again without a problem. I will be headed over to Porsche to pick up one of their belts.
