timing chain tensioner

Post by houghton1873 »

Afternoon all,

Just thought i would put this out there. I have just purchased a 2010 2.0 tsi dsg Scirocco and whilst i am looking through some of the posts on here very occasionally people are talking about the upgraded timing belt tensioner.

Is there any way i can tell if the car has had a new tensioner e.g. part number on tensionor or different design. I could phone the garage that has performed the services but i would rather see proof that this sort of job has been done.

Also what sort of cost is involved in replacing the tensioner.

Cheers in advance
