Ah rlly? I asked VW to check it when I replaced my inlet manifold a few weeks ago.. They told me that they had to take the whole engine out to check it, since I was already upto 800€+ for the inlet (including labor) I didn't push them to check tensioner but they did have a listen to it in when it's cold and told me they didn't hear anything strange, that the car wasn't misfiring etc. So hopefully everything is going well.

When I asked them about the chain tensioner, they instantly knew what I was on about.

you have a 2.0tsi ?????,engine defo stays in,,not sure where you are located,,,,,,,mine had just started to have a strange rattle on start up,,ive owned the car 4 years and done 50,000 so I know all the noises it makes,,,did mine as a precaution really,,,measured the chains before tensioner removal and distance was all within specs,,,

,,,a metallic rattling noise that wasnt there before if you have owned the car for a while you get used to the nioses it makes,,,,typically only rattles on a cold start,,,,when it does it warm or hot starting to its time to get it checked and replaced,
