Help with tensioner blade part number
 

I'm buying new tensioner blades (aka timing chain rails) for a 2003 3.2 M96.24 engine. Looking at the picture on page 2-28 in Bentley's service manual shows blades that match what I have, 4 distinct types of blades. I have 3 of the 4 have part numbers which are conveniently listed on the blades, but I can not find the part number for the upper blade on the 1-3 side. It has the part number 996.105.138.02 which matches nothing. Pelican shows only 2 part numbers for the blade tensioners for 2003 - 2004. Anyone have the answer?

Beware the many mistakes on Pelican. Have you tried Automotion, Porsche dealer?

James I can't say for certain but its either 996-105-164-00 or 996-105-054-01.
My money is on 996-105-054-01, AS Slide Rail cylinder 1-3 about $40.

Like i said before give your VIN to a dealership to confirm the part. I remember when i ordered these parts it was a PITA because I think they're from a different catalogue, not the Boxster, maybe the cayman? anyways i had to send a Pic to confirm the correct part. I didn't have time to return a part so no room for errors.

Good luck,
Pat.

Thanks PJQ!:)
