You might incur a few more hours of labor for the tensioners and guides but it wont be $5k for an engine pull. Just my .02 cents. Pads will fit factory and aftermarket chain adjusters Don't waste your money replacing the whole chain adjuster when all you need are replacement pads! Factory chain adjusters are much higher quality than all aftermarket units and should be rebuilt whenever possible! 1.8T engines require 1 set of 2 pads 2.7T, 2.8L, 4.2l Engines require 2 sets of 2 pads (1 set per bank) Compatibility: 1.8T 1998 What's a ballpark figure for replacing the timing chain on the 4.2 S4?
