Depending on the mileage, you may want to do the cam chains at the same time. that would double the cost though

The one im looking at is on 81k, would it be worth doing the cam chains you reckon?

Im assuming once the updated tensioner is fitted it should be fine and wont be a need to worry about it much?

Going to pop to the garage next to work tonorrow and get an idea how Much they'd charge to do it, if its a decent price ill be putting a deposit down for it i think

Yeah had a feeling that was the case, test drove it and all seemed fine but had no evidence of a tensioner previously being changed.

Currently got 80k on the clock and just been serviced but still unsure whether itd be worth the risk of buying.

Thanks, went to look at one today where the dealership were convinced it runs on a belt, they also phoned a vw dealership who said same thing. Think ill ignore them and put some money aside just to be safe though.

Looking into buying a 2009 2.0 scirocco gt, read about the issue with the tensioner just wondering roughly how much it would cost to get the updated tensioner fitted? Seen people say £3-400 but also seen People saying close to the £1000 mark
