Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Guys I have just purchased a replacement chain tensioner for my 99 C4 and it looks to have a 14mm hex in the middle rather than the 32mm hex, is this just the new style replacement part? It doesn't have the spring assist and the new part number is: 996 105 188 02 The tensioner is the one under the AC pump.

The part is reported to fit cars down to the 2000 996. Info obtained from this site: http://store.paramountauto.com/oe-po...FReUfgodSJMMUg I can't vouch for the site's accuracy.
The updated, superseded tensioner has a 14mm internal hex, Vs the 32mm external hex on the OE units.
Thanks F6 I have the correct one by the sounds of it
