Hi guys, As stated above the final tensionor was updated on 1/05/12.my timing chain cover has a barcode with the build of 5/06/2012. Am I lucky enough to have the updated version or should I do a visual inspection. I hope they didn’t use up old stock after said date.
The dates are from the official VW system. I would say its the date they started using the new ones.
Also of note is that when newones were released as spareparts to dealers stops were put on the system not allowing older ones to be sold. As they went to this length I expect similar lengths were taken at the engine manufacturing plant.
