    That map is pretty awesome, I have to say.

    In performing the essential research for my snarky comment, I've learned that Alaskans generally take issue with the rather ambiguous "continental USA", instead preferring "Lower 48" or "contiguous United States". Personally, I think they should just move down here to stop the confusion.

    Still no kits with the latest OEM non-hydraulic "Litens" tensioner (06A-109-243-A) for the 1.8T AWM and AMB?

    Example kit part numbers that include this updated design:
    INA Kit: 530 0546 10
    Continental Kit: TB306LK4-MI and PP306LK4-MI
    Continental Europe Kit: CT909K10
    Febi partial Kit: 06A109243AS1

    For the cars that support this latest design, I no longer recommend the old hydro setup. So if you guys make a kit, I'll link it every time.

    We spoke to a few of our distributors and they actually sent us a few kits with the non hydraulic tensioner which they quickly took back from us. There were a lot of issues they were working out with them and replaced them with the "older" style. The info that we gathered was that the latest non hydraulic tensioner was also Chinese compared to the "old" one which was German made.

    TL;DR version is that our distributors demanded all the new ones back in place of the old ones... not sure why to be honest.

    Thanks for the information, Hugh. That is very interesting. I believe you are correct, the new roller design is Chinese production - at least the OEM units. I got my Litens tensioner separately in a Febi box a few years ago. It was stamped Litens/China, just like the Audi genuine piece.
