Review on ECCPP 1998 2005 Volkswagen Beetle Timing by Ashwin Drollinger

The tensioner fell apart during the installation of

I am not satisfied with the timing belt tensioner. It fell apart when I installed it. While it's better to make a mistake during installation than on site, it delayed completion and caused me significant problems. I bought a new part from a local dealer because I wouldn't trust that seller's parts at this point. The metal was so soft that it crumbled with very little pressure. Sometimes the old axiom is true - you get what you pay for.
