    7A chain behind timing belt seems loose

    I recently replaced the valve cover gasket on my 7A and noticed the chain behind timing belt under the valve cover is slightly loose.

    Is this normal? How taut should this chain be? How do I tighten it?

    Thank you.

    A small amount of slack is normal, especially in high mileage car. Change it next timing belt change. The chain is cheap to buy as was fitted on other vag group cars.
