problem is with the whole loose belt theory is that there is no tensionor on a VW air cooled engine like that. Unless your thinking a old belt then yeah.( i own a 61 VW beetle)

Not only that but the engine sounds like it has a miss in it. You can hear it sound uneven and the belt even speed changes every time you hear it.

But that guy is asking to loose a finger or have the screw driver flung at high speeds
I don't really care about brands Chevy Ford Dodge ...as long as it doesn't sound like two old dudes farting in a coffee can.
