Heiko,
Have you noticed a reduction in start-up chain rattle with the new tensioners?
I'm seriously considering replacing mine... I get about 1-2 seconds of clatter if the car sits a few days between drives. Sounds terrible.

Yes it seems to make a difference, they are easy to replace (perfect time is when doing an oil change) even the one in bank 2 is easy with the right tool...
Just make sure you submerge them in some oil and pump them full and then shove them in Autopartsway.ca had a good price on them a while ago (I think I paid like $340 for all three) I did a tension test on the old ones and new ones and there was quite a difference....
