Timing chains (again...sorry)

[DundeeDub 0]

I'm going to get my chains and tensioners replaced, i seem to remember that there was something about using a Mk4 metal tensioner or something like that can anyone remember this thread as i can't find it

also i need a parts list, i know there was a thread before but i can't find that either, bit usless today it seems
