MK6 GTI (2.0 TSI) Timing Chain Tensioner

[rabbit1]

Anyone had the timing chain tensioner on their VW/Audi 2.0T TSI replaced as a preventative measure? If so, where was it done and what were the costs?

Background for people not in the loop, the old part number tensioners on these engines have a tendency to strip teeth and fail causing a myriad of issues from bent values to catastrophic engine failure.

Been thinking about getting this done on my 2012 GTI.

Thanks

Parts and labor would be looking at around $1000
