Chain tensioner or chain adjuster? The following part numbers:
996 105 176 51
996 105 180 54
996 105 179 57
996 105 179 58
Which are for parts that look like this:



... in the Katalog PET) are referred to as chain adjusters, but they are almost always called chain tensioners here and on other boards.
Not to be pedantic but I find it very confusing since there are other parts that are properly called chain tensioners.
