Message	The previous owner of my old TT had the timing belt replaced, but the shop didn't do the tensioner. I ended up going back in there and doing another full 120k job, which was good experience anyways. Look for a lot of red dust buildup inside and around the tensioner piston, mine was covered in it and definitely bad.
