It should but there can always be slight tension differences and the you struggle to loose the slack then , so a floating pulley makes it easier and accurate 11:01

Quite right! Today I replaced a working INA freewheel with a larger diameter solid-machined pulley, which turned out to be even lighter than this clutch! The engine works in the same way - there are no extraneous vibrations of the tensioning mechanism! At idle, fuel consumption decreased by 0.1 liters per hour - it was 0.7 liters per hour, and it became 0.6 liters per hour! The battery charging voltage did not decrease while the engine started to rev significantly faster than with freewheel as the engine was spinning a larger pulley than the freewheel based pulley shown in this fake video! After installing a solid pulley, the car began to accelerate much faster, the manual transmission gears turn on better, since the engine speed does not drop as quickly as in the case with an overrunning clutch installed, and the generator in this case works as a kinetic energy accumulator that maintains high engine speeds even after closing the throttle. The twitching engine video shown on the left side of the video is completely fake! This is how the VAG engine behaves, in which one or two ignition coils are faulty, or specially disabled! A serviceable engine behaves differently and shows no signs of additional vibration even when a solid pulley is installed on the alternator shaft, and not an INA freewheel! Average fuel consumption also went down as soon as I installed a larger one-piece pulley and longer belt on the alternator to replace the old INA freewheel!

Literally you just described what happened to me…. It broke exactly where the m10 threads start at the hole… I am so lost right now it’s ridiculous…. This is the only car I have…

@@Noneoftheabuv Sorry to hear that. I did do the mod, i put a straight 75mm m10 threaded stud in and drilled the hole in the tensioner out to 10mm. I didnt like the way its was originally designed with the m8 to m10. It wasn't easy to drill the tensioner out as it was quite thick and took sometime to do on my drill press. The cap/ plate on the end of the tensioner was hardened steel too so i had to use a carbide tipped deburr in a die grinder to make that hole bigger. I've done about 10,000 miles since so seems to have worked out.

@@agentcarbunkle man that’s great…. I imagine it wasn’t easy….. I’ve drilled the hole open and I’m going to press the broken end in the hole and JB weld it. I don’t think it’ll work but I have to do something.

3:22 This is the tool, but he didn't shot it being fitted.

Google will helps you

Engine rebuild then. Valves will bent against pistons

Ford changing the lower heavy duty chain to a wet belt has to go down as 1 of the most stupid engineering designs ever!

Totally ageee. It was also shown in Argentina. Just perfect.
