My 16V car had a special two part 13mm nut to hold the tensioner. It looked like an ordinary nut apart from the copper colour. Inside the nut was a steel coil of wire like a recoil. Presumably nobody is going to recoil a nut??
The steel core was made from very strong steel spring wire. The outer part of the nut came off leaving the inner part holding the tensioner.
Do I need a special nut on the tensioner?
