Not a DIY job, as pulley nut done up to several hundred lbft.
This is the AAR engine.
So I've rung a few places for a quotation - which is pushing towards what I paid for the car at about 300-500. So a few questions:
1. The tensioner. Nobody seems to do these, so it has to be original Audi at £120 or so. How necessary is it to replace the tensioner as well. One mechanic said 'only if it's making a noise'.
2. The waterpump. One garage quoted for its replacement, another didn't and didn't seem to think it necessary. Necessary? Or not?
Thanks!

Somebody must know... please?

I would always replace the cambelt and tensioner at the same time
If the waterpump is cambelt driven replace that also if it siezes
its a snapped cambelt and cylinder head damage.
Try eurocarparts or gsf for parts

I'll check on the tensioner this afternoon.
Water pump? False economy not to change it IMO......
