If they followed that procedure for your car, in theory you won't need the belt changed next time.

That’s a great bit of information. Thanks
That’s also the way I would interpret it. Trapping the heat was an issue on many Porsche 911- 964- 993 models that they never seemed to learn from. Lots of covers over the years that trapped the heat and everything just cooked, belts, seals, hoses, etc. Caused a lot of unintended problem and failures. Just remove them and everything was fine.
It looks like a simple fix to increase the drive belt lifespan.
