So I picked up a 96 TSI that I am doing the timing belt in. I was going to order a kit from JNZ tuning, but they show 2 different kits. One for 1/94-8/95, and one for 8/95-4/99.

My car was produced 8/95...so that puts me right in the middle of the cutoff. I know the only thing thats different is the tensioner. My problem is, I dont have a spot that I can tear the car down to see what tensioner I have. I wont be able to get it into my work shop till I have all the parts.

Does anybody know or have an idea of which kit I should get or know how I can find out which week my car was produced?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
