Porsche quoted me $103 each for the two deflection rollers and $117 for the tensioner roller. Both of my DRs have slight play in them. May just do that for piece of mind and a new roller surface but new roller bearings for $25 is tempting to try. I pressed my own wheel bearings in.

Question. Is there an optimum tensioner position? After UD pulley, I had to experiment with a few belts and one fits great but the tensioner is very close to its fully retracted position. Also, belt brand? I'm finding with my WP swapped that some start up noise is just belt squawk like a scrunch sound for a minute until it warms up. A shot of WD makes it quiet for a few days then it's back.
