I have contemplated going ahead and buying the updated tensioner, because I would really like to eliminate the chain rattle. But, I read somewhere that the new tensioner was designed to be used with later engines where porsche had gone to a tooth style chain rather than the roller style that I believe is in my car, being a 1998. I didn't think the new style would be compatible. Is it?
Yes it's been in my 2000 engine for 30,000 miles & no chain rattle.
