looking at Pelican parts...they show 3 belts available all made by same company. The one belt is considerably more but says OEM supplier..does this mean it is the same belt Porsche sells but in diferent packaging

The is a $2.00 difference between the mid and high. The $42.xx price is an old price. Go add it to your basket and it will show $27.00.


In situations where there are multiple, I tend to buy the middle (except when the price difference is just $2.00).


BTW, I have been using Conti's for decades. Haven't seen one break yet.

Cool! Pelican should really update the front page to reflect the real $27.00 price.

If you not sure just get one from dealer or suncoast porsche. It is not expensive and you don't wanna put the wrong belt..

I just ordered this one from Pelican for $30.25. It is a Continental... Porsche part is a Conti also..... done.

I've been ordering the Pelican OEM parts for a bunch of years now and have never been disappointed and could not tell a single difference from what I pulled off of the car. They provide a great service with great service.

Peace
