The rollers should be checked at every belt change---not replaced unless bad.
Spin the rollers and feel for grit, wobble, pull and tug.

The Porsche Dealer suggests every 60,000 miles to change all rollers.

Porsche also has a TSB-technical service bulletin on the cam belt tension roller:

The cam belt tension roller is OK if it feels loose or "noisy"---But monitor closely.

Clarks suggests every 90,000 miles----(every other belt change 45K + 45K =90K miles)

I change the belts more often and sugest you use the 60,000 mileage as a guide.

Per Clarks:


If you do not have service records, change the rollers.
Get the full belt and roller Contitech kit===Pelican Parts.
The updated WaterPumps need the 46mm cam tension roller kit.
