Hi all, recently had my stock 2012 VW GTI (manual trans) in for it's 90k service and my mechanic suggested getting my timing chain tensioner replaced since the car is getting up there in miles (I'm still on the original).
What is everyone's thoughts on getting it replaced even though it's been running fine? Haven't had any issues with the car but just wanted some perspective, I'm not really in a position to be spending money I don't have to but at the same time I read about all the problems it can lead to if it fails.
Thanks!
