A design that needs full oil pressure to force out the tensioner on start up/after an oil change sounds a bit how you going. Can you run a grade lighter on cold temp oil to counter it? They make a manual tensioner for the 1.8T 20V - if I had one of these engines and the problems with the chain tensioners were this bad I'd be looking into some kind of manual tensioner solution. Or can the oil gallery to the tensioner be modded to help?

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.
