That's what I am looking to fit. I'm hoping that the pre-tensioning spring will help with the initial chain rattle on cold startup. Hot startup is no problem, but I suspect that the oil is bleeding down from the tensioner(s) over 24 hours.

I don't know if my MY 2001 car (engine was built late 2000) has the original tensioner without the helper spring as I think the one you show above is a revised version of the original.
