tensioner belt

Hi all The tensioner / belt is noisy on our 2018 CXHA engined, DSG, T6 so looking to replace it. Doesn't look too bad a job (found the workshop instructions in the downloads section) but i'm not clear how to access it. So do you do it from the engine bay or from inside the wheel arch? Thanks...

Hi, my T6 4motion. just went into VW for its 3rd year service. 2 days later the tensioner has failed. The Vans done 33k where do I stand ? Waiting to hear if they will fix under warranty ? Has anyone come across this ? Regards Steve

Had my first 20,000 service, apparently there was a recall on a belt tensioner, anyone else had this, she mentioned it was an overnight recall, no idea how true that is. Also, one for the mechanically minded... what is it?
