Heavens to betsy!

A chain tensioner is not exactly rocket science still, is it?!

I'm not sure I follow you?

Is sucking oil from dip stick not good for tsi engines for changing the oil?

 

Can leave behind a "sludge" at the bottom of the sump , cam chains like very clean oil. The great Saab 2.0 and 2.3 engines were very long lived indeed with proper regular oil changes, without this you'd have to schedule a cam chain replacement - or two!

I know that should be the case, but a combination of my luck, the fact that this is a fairly common fault makes me want to confirm it with the dealer. It shouldn't happen, but it sometimes does.

 

Thanks for all the replies, info and suggestions

Haven't seen it mentioned much on here.

I'm not a fan.

 

I usually do my oil as soon as I get home from the 45km drive from work.  Oil nice & hot and lots of solids in suspension.  You need to wear gloves though.

So I spoke to the dealer who did the chain and tensioner, and they confirmed that the revised parts had been fitted

That's a bit excessive? - I normally wait at least a year or 10,000 miles before I change mine.....
