It's 2 sets of gaskets. It's not that in depth of a fix. Diligence and details are important. Worst part was cost of the cryky tensioner.

The tensioner is revised which makes me feel a little better. Here is the part info.

It would start rattling at idle at which time I could probe to locate the source of the noise, and that was the part that was the loudest.

Dealer said they've replaced it on other '01s and it just comes back again. So, they wouldn't do my car.

So... now that you mention an updated part (which I assume has a newer PN, right?) - I may try to get the dealer to do this under warranty since I have it documented at least 3 times on my invoices...the last one stating that is was "normal".

It would start rattling at idle at which time I could probe to locate the source of the noise, and that was the part that was the loudest. __________________ 2001 A4QM Avant 1.8T Stage III and More 1996 A6Q Avant 2.8 Straight Up Capital Area Volkswagen Audi
