Sorry to "jack" the thread but I thought it's better to post here then start a new thread. Is the tensioner pulley something that is replaced with the timing belt? I was told by one mechanic that the tensioner pulley (spring?) needed to be replaced on my tour. It makes a tapping sound when the engine is cold and then quiets down after the engine warms up (the normal complaint on here).
Also does $500 sound about right or was this guy just overcharging like I thought he did replacing my spark plugs and wires.
