Tensioner will shift even after you rotate the engine to check the new belt is OK, this is even more true for newer 1.6/2.0 diesels. Yes, the belt will stretch a little with age, but half of the difference shown could be normal tensioner swing. I replaced the belt and the water pump on my Roomster 1.6TDI a year ago due to badly leaking water pump, made 3 attempts to set the tension as per factory service manual and always it shifted to different to what I had set after rotating the belt. Only then I found online a later date factory service manual telling me not to bother about it. Regarding Dayco vs Gates vs other brands, any kit will do so long as it is undamaged. I ordered a beautiful Dayco belt+all rollers kit from amazon, good price, only on arrival the main tensioner roller had 2 deep scratches on the belt's running surface. Sent it back and went with INA kit and Dayco belt, not so nice but undamaged. 15k miles later still works fine.

Hi, I'm looking into getting a used pre-facelift vRS diesel (/rant) as a stopgap car until SUK stops force-feeding sub-standard 100mph ACC on all but basic equipment Superbs (while denying the 130mph ACC or standard CC options to us). (rant/) But as I drive mostly at night, and a lot of it to/from/across Germany at high speed, I need to know if the AFS Bi-Xenons fully switch to "flat beam" or just dip the Z-beam and angle it to the right for the Continent. Could a friendly soul please post a photo of 2015-2017 vRS lights set to tourist mode projected against a wall about 5m-10m away (when it is dark and cutoff is clearly visible)? Ideally, with one headlamp covered at a time. And yes, I found an earlier picture on the forum but it is taken way too close to the wall, you really cannot see beam shape from this. Help much appreciated, but given the number of tourist mode threads I think everyone will gain from this.
