Have you checked your cam torsion value with vag-com. Engine group block 4. Should be really close to 0. Brother and I put ours at 0 and 10K miles later after timing belt had to adjust back to 0. Helped with MPG some as well and idle. Don't know on the sound as I am not there to here it. Are you for sure it is the tensioner pully?

So, I have a new one, I just need to change it I guess?

> The sound is during excelleration only with LOAD on the motor, can not make it happen when sitting still, it has to be timing belt related.? YES?
> Why outside temp. would make this sound worse, I am not sure,?things shrink?when cold I guess.

> Also, the motor never really ran smooth at 1000 rpms but now it stumbles steadily at this rpm, but is fine at 1200 and higher and fine at 7-800 idle rpm, does this ring a bell to anyone???
