Thanks ice,

Yeah I just bought the kit from FCPEuro, and I am am surprised at only 72k but I don't know the history of the car, I bought it at 68k. I actually just pulled the rubber inspection plug and its the upgraded tensioner (but looks like its on 7th click, yikes!!! I'll start taking off the front end this week, Yeah I'm not overthinking it, thanks.. I have a couple of questions for you, should I remove the cambridge oil screen, on the reinstall? I have heard that is a horrible design they continually blow out and do I need to drain the oil? I just put in Amsoil Euro 5W/40 and its the VW502.0 spec, I'd hate to drum that with only maybe 50miles on that oil. I don't have to drain it to remove the lower timing chain cover, the oil will all be in the pan right?

Correct no need to drain oil at all. I also didn't replace my tensioner since my car is B8.5 it had the updated tensioner. I was sure to replace all cam chains/guides as well as balance shaft chains/guides. My screen was torn and was stuck in the head so I took the torn screen off and took a pair of pliers and pulled the entire screen out of the cambridge. I'd get rid of the thing since it has no use. We already have an oil filter on the engine. Same thing with the 4.0 twin turbo V8. Everyone removes the oil filter screen before it clogs and starves the turbo of oil.

Thanks, yeah I was thinking the same thing, but I'm fairly new to this motor, I've been working on the 2.8L 5V way longer than the 2.0 TFSI.
