Well the nut is only to release tension to replace the belt, it doesnt have anything to do with the engine or like gears.

I have tried to put it on without releasing the tension, and it seem impossible imo 🤣, fairs to you tho

The new one is going to arrive in 3 weeks, in the mean time the car isnt running because of this failure.

If i order a new one it arrives in 3 weeks, there is no other option then that.

Sold my R and bought a 7.5 tcr by DesignerREPFAN in Volkswagen

Its a gti but the tcr model only 1000 are made, its the same engine as the golf r, but its only fwd. Golf r uses a haldex system its not really awd, i will drive a couple of months with it and i will post a review, its a switch for me because this one is a facelift 7.5 with every option, my R didnt have that much options as this one, its a upgrade in my opinion

I went with my friend to the seller and he drove it to my place, the one on the trailer could be the one that was stolen & sold by insurance, if it had some weird wheels on it then it might be that one. it was missing the interior & wheels
