What would you do first ?

a few days ago I picked up a 2009 2.0 tsi manual and would like to check things are functioning to the best of their ability. I would just like to make sure that no area around the engine has been left untouched for a few years as if they have then they may well need cleaning/greasing/oiling/changing.
So I'm thinking along the lines of egr clean/blank, maf clean, throttle body clean etc etc.

A bit about the cars info...

2.0 tsi manual
Stage 2 remap (superchips bluefin)
Ram air intake
Forge blow of valve
Decat
Exhaust resonator delete

I have posted a question about the car stuttering a bit when I'm accelerator hard from around 80mph and between 3.5-4K revs.
So I'm trying to eliminate any possible causes .

What would you do to make sure everything is functioning fully ?

Thanks

I would first make sure that the chain and the tensioner have been upgraded

He has said that it's been revised as it's a 2010 model on a 2009 plate. Don't know how much truth is in this

It was only fixed from mid(?) 2012 and onwards

Yes that's what I've heard aswell. It would be good to find a definitive answer

I would call the previous owner and ask him if it's done or not...

Or check

Get a garage to check the Part number on the tensioner, I think you can see it if you remove the chain over.

If your unsure, id get it changed for peace of mind

I can confirm the chain tensioner from mid 2012 are the last revised from VW.
My 2010 need to do the complete chain distribution! A lot of money in VW Service.
