due to 944 belt routing and "thin-ness" they don't live a very long life.
i have pulled off 3 year old, 30k miles or less belts that literally groan as you turn the crank by hand because they were so dried out, cracks starting to form.

be sure to change all the rollers/idlers with the belt as well - if you don't, you are begging for a belt failure. 944 timing/balance belt rollers are only good for one belt interval - the bearings are SHOT by the 3-4 year mark.
