I've jumped to the dark side :23: at lerast for now. Got some motivation watching a few of videos on installing the head on the 2.0T so I started working on the 2.0T in the Tiguan.
Yup we had the dreaded Chain Tensioner failure a few years ago while I was having eye issues and surgery.
I've done Re&Re and retimed the valve train on my BMW M62 V8, so I'm not shy; but due to the fact that I no longer see very well, I had limited myself to just doing simple maintenance, but now... we'll see.addle:
The one of the videos is for the older FSI but alot of it is the same as the 1st gen EA888.

All i can say is thank god for Deutsche Auto Parts, there is simply no other parts supplier that do what they do. No afiliation, and I know alot of the big players in the industry, ...like Wayne at Pelican Parts.
Ya i know, I'll get of my soapbox now... .:sm3:
Cheers !
