Drive (Serpentine) belt, size dilemma ?

[britdave]

I'm replacing my drive (Serpentine) belt in my 2002 911/ 996 C2 however the first one I got was to small, it measured 83" inches (? on mm size) from Auto zone a 'Duralast' part # 833K6, $16.99 it was about an inch to small.

Next I went to NAPA and got another one ( the listings are not very accurate in the computers ? ) this NAPA one is made by Gates (NAPA calls it "Micro V) part # 25 060900 , and was almost double the price $33.00 , but being a Gates one I guess it's better ? But this one measures, 2301mm or 90 5/8 " inches ! Can anyone provide the actual size for this vehicle, or the correct part # and where to get the right size ? It' just a regular 2002 911/ 996 C2 ( no turbo , 4 4S etc)

Can anyone advise on the proper belt size ? And which brand is best ? Thanks Dave :help:

This one works great for me and it's cheap.

Thanks fellas , but I can get them locally here, getting them is not the problem, it's getting the right size. What I REALLY need to know is the size of the belt ? Thats the problem, anyone know the size for a 2002 911 /996 C2 w/aircon just a plain old regular Carrera C2 no turbo etc. There are 3 sizes and thats the problem ? Size in inches & mm's please, anyone know ? Thanks Dave.

When they are new the fit is very tight. I also carry a spare in my frunk.
