Napa

Anyone have any heartburn over using a Napa brand serpentine belt vs orderig one off pelican parts? Pelican has three version and the original part is 60. Just curious of preferences. Dont want to wait to try a new belt and see if that stops my issue.

None whatsoever. Simple enough part to replace even if you made the wrong choice.

Nope, put that one on mine during the rebuild and saved the old one as a back up. Fit like a glove!

Napa brand belts on both my Boxsters - Base and "S'. Never any problems.
