Noise from the timing chain area, rough running or a check engine light can mean a worn tensioner. A stretched chain, worn guides or tired sprockets can be behind these symptoms too, so track down the actual cause before you buy. During timing service, replace the chain, guides and sprockets together with the tensioner so the whole system is renewed.
