I've had a problem for over a year now with a Cam Chain tensioner/ Cam Adjustor. I've finally decided to bite the bullet and get it fixed at a price of over $1200 (over 700 just for the part) Is this an average price for this fix?

 

By the way, the car is a 2001 A4 1.8T Quattro

 

Yeah thats the average shops repair price. I wrote up a DIY if you want to try changing out it yourself.

 

Thanks, yeah I saw that but like you said if you dont know how to do step one you shouldnt be changing the tensioner. I have no idea what I'm doing.
