Trying to source a cam chain tensioner for my VRs.

Local supplier seems to be looking for about £350.

Anyone know if thisis the correct one (shipped from the US) or anywhere else I can try?

1.8T VRS doesn't have a cam chain it has a belt & you should expect to pay about £250 for supply & fit of cambelt kit which will include the tensioner.

Eurocarparts for an aftermarket kit or Trade Part Specialists for a genuine VAG kit.

It does have a chain linking the 2 cams together as theres only one top pulley the belt runs over.

Oops forgot about that

That tensioner serves as the VVT controller for cold starts and yep I'm pretty sure that's an expensive part to replace :(

The one above may do it, youd have to try and cross check parts numbers etc though.

What is actually wrong with the chain tensioner,that it needs replaced?had a Leon cupra at work the other week that had a noisy chain tensioner but it was down to low oil pressure,choked oil pump pick up pipe.

I don't know much but I know they are oil pressure controlled, so the above post may help you at a guess
