In the middle of a t-blet change and just wanted to verify I'm reading the tensioner correctly and it looks like I am. Have to make a post but it's a good excuse to take five from the project.
Welcome! 2006 TDI, is it a Jetta or Beetle/Golf? They have different engines. There are some videos in the FAQ article which should help. Any questions, please post a follow up.

The pictures in the writeup show it clearly. Just make sure that you're looking at it straight on and not at an angle. If you look at it from the top it will cause the pointer to be off due to the perspective.
