I use my VCDS for my Audi B 8.5 2.0 to monitor this very value, as they are known for a tensioner failure. Mine has the updated tensioner, however they only have so much adjustment available to offset chain stretch or guide wear before you need to replace the guides and chains. Audi calls it "adaptation" values.

I'm thinking this applies here too.

Thanks
These cars have a deviation spec of +/- 6 degrees; values beyond that range indicate problems in the cam drive that need to be addressed.
