Guys, if you start your S in the morning and hear your chain for more than a second, you probably need a new tensioner. Some noise is normal though. I have done 3 cold starts today and only heard it for a 1/2 to 1 second. I was hearing it for 4 to 5 seconds with the old one. A clattery idle may also be heard as well as a loud poker card in a spinning bicycle wheel upon a hot restart after sitting for 5 to 10 minutes. You will know it when you hear it.

BTW, Hardtopguy stocks it!
