I always wondered why the plastic tensioner on my mpi was wonky. Now that I'm in the process of changing the water pump it's all become clear: the nut is no longer on the bolt!

 

Does anyone know the size of the nut that holds the plastic wheel in place please?

 

Thanks all

Fantastic! It's metric, which saves my arse a bit as I'm on the continent.

 

Cheers for that Nick

Has anyone replaced one of these with a normal length m8 nut? I can't see why this one has to be twice the length of a standard nut, but I'm no expert. Surely if a socket will fit inside the pulley, a standard nut would do fine wouldn't it?
