Also, the specification for clearance between the balance shaft belt and idler is 0 to a negative value. Meaning the idler should be touching the belt run or deflecting it upward slightly.

Different design but will work on all models and be more precise than the 3D printed tool. That said, the 3D printed tool is surprisingly accurate. Certainly better than the 'twist' method in terms of consistently getting it within the range Porsche spec'd, especially for newcomers with no 'feel' for how tight they should be.

It's been a few months and I found this post searching for an Arnnworx tool. Any update on your efforts to make a replacement tool?
