My friend runs without one on his 2.0l 8v, there shouldnet be too much of
a problem with that, a little noisier though. I wouldn't try it with a 16v
though, as you might know, break a timing belt on a 8v your o.k., just out
for a little while, but on a 16v and you most likely scrap the head (bent
valves and possibly broken or bent cam), not pleasant.
