I agree! A shop that would tell you that is not worthy of your trust or money. You would think they were looking out for your best interest but if the tensioners fail you stand to lose the entire engine or dam close to it. Find another shop with a good reputation.

It's a very well known problem so they either are lying to you or they are incompetent!
A well run independent shop would be the best bet but as you mentioned. This is an expensive and somewhat complicated repair. Make double sure you catch it in time if you plan to keep the car.

Bee Vee - The 2.5 was only available from 2002.5MY so is the redesigned (not just a facelift) car. Manual box is 5 speed (gears), auto would be 6 gears, (+ reverse).
2002.5MY starts with VIN M45255
I guess there will be a few pre-production cars... no idea what VIN they may have!

JagV8 my vin(which is displayed on windscreen) starts with SAJAD**$**&&*****
So i am guessing this is another mystery.

The number that JagV8 gave will be the last 6 of your VIN, he was saying that the sequence starts with M45255.
