Did they say which side failed?
Or did they say both sides failed?
Did they use a PST or did they use some other diagnose tool?

If you decide to do one, you should replace both sides. At 200.000 miles i think that is a good idea to replace/inspect both. Maybe you get used ones from a low mileage engine and can replace chain tensioner rails with new ones – see Video from Gelbster.

Concerning what to do: 2004/2005 US cars don't have that f… solenoids.
