Hi i have recently purchased a lovely low mileage 2010 a4 s line tdi 143 , its fantastic however i noticed one issue that i didnt notice during test drive . I am getting a whine when i'm travelling slow in first abd 2nd gear that develops into a turbo like whistle when accelerated . Almost like a supercharger sound. I am now convinced that the timing belt tension is to blame after much research as the garage put a new genuine kit and water pump on as part of the deal, please note this noise was not there when i test drive the car prior to timing belt change. At this stage the garage refuses to see a problem, hiwever i done my own research and renoved the top timing belt inspection cover, it seems clear to me that the tensioner is overtightned as the marks do not line up as i believe they should making me believe the belt is overtightend causing said whine, see pic attached. So my question now is can the tensioner now be put to the correct tension without replacing the whole lot, and also without stripping all the bits that needed removed to fit the whole kit.? Will the belt have stretched? It is a kevlar belt as far as i know. Any experienced audi VAG technicians on here i look forward to your response? Thanks
