Hope you can help.
Thanks
Changing the belt is a fairly easy task, and doesn't require very many tools.

The first thing you need to do is take off the engine top cover, and the engine front cover, that is behind the rear seats.

Once you have both of those two covers off, changing the belt is exactly the same as on any normal car with a serpentine belt system. If you've ever done it on a Buick, a Chevy, or a Honda, you can do it on the Porsche.

BC.
