Wet Serpentine Belt Slips
in 996 TT, 996 TT S, 996 GT2
Posted
Hi-
I have a 2003 996 TT with the same issue. Bought it with 9,800 miles and only have 12k now. The belt is original and if it gets soaked during washing it will slip and even stop (done this once so far) right after the wash when I turn the steering wheel quickly (loading the belt). I assume its slipping at the crank as the alt light comes on and power steering goes away. If I leave the car running when I wash it, the belt squeeks when spraying water around the rear lid. Plan to replace the belt later this fall but don't expect this issue to go away completely. Live in Seattle and have never had an issue while driving the car in the rain athough the car is new to me and I try to avoid the rain. Not sure this is an issue with tensioner etc or just a poor design. Appreciate everyones input on the topic.
