I just bought an OEM timingbelt kit for my 2002 A4 B6 Avant 1.9 tdi pd with the AWX engine, I understand how to lock the timing and replace the belt but mine has a totally different belt tensioner to the ones shown on youtube, mine has a metal bracket attached to it and as I understand it has to have a 6-10mm gap as there is some sort of damping pin, all I can find on youtube is a Hungarian video but I can't understand how to apply the tension, I've also ordered theT10008 locking tool that wasn't in the sealed kit I got, any help on this or directions to a youtube video, thanks

Thanks for the info, I've seen that video and mine is totally different tensioner, mine works on the hydraulic tensioner, anyway I've figured it out and the job is done now.
I got it from GSF car parts, it's a Ruville German kit part number 5549470 it comes with all the bits including new stud and nut, the water pump is an Airtex genuine oe, £130 for the lot.
No it's not, mine is a completely different tensioner, anyway I've done it now, the best youtube video explaining this and the only one I could find was the Hungarian one.
Odd that... I always thought the AWX was identical to the AVF ( which I have ) other than it being mapped slightly different
I don't really know, mine is a 2002 Avant maybe it's had an engine change, I can only assume it's an AWX as that's what's it states on the body plate near the bulkhead
