For a 1.8t Agu

Item number on eBay is

Can't copy a direct link sorry

Also when replacing this is there any reccomendations on anything else that I should change when doing this?

Thanks Karl.

Looks correct, however I'd go for genuine for only a couple of quid more. 
Deffo replace the tensioner gasket/seal at the same time and apply a drop of gasket seal on both as per :-

Its a good excuse to clean up and paint your rocker cover too  :grin:

Brilliant, thanks just ordered both :) looking forward to the weekend already! I have a feeling that the cover gasket may be leaking as I have had a bit of oil in the bottom of one of my plugs, hoping this is causing the misfire under boost, got a bit of a tapping noise when the revs drop suddenly when revving, and also at a certain amount of revs. If this isn't it I'm not sure what it is! Replaced the maf ignition amp all the plugs next is the coil packs.

Thanks for you help muchly appreciated :)
