I was recently told by a pro who works on TDIs that the timing belt tensioner must be replaced each time it is removed or reset, in this case after a camshaft job, 05 Passat, when the timing belt had only 15K miles on it. I had never heard this before; the nut maybe, but the whole thing? Any opinions about this? Thanks.

Cheap? I see 70-85 dollars for one.
One more question about it. When cold, the pointer is in the middle of the target notch, but warm, it's about 1/4 inch to the right of the edge of the notch. Is that too much or OK?
