So they do break then? :) I have a very noisy one, in fact on my 9000 2.0t, the garage showed me the sideways play and all the chain running gear whilst it was still in the car. They allow a certain degree of sideways play, mine was well past that and the chain tensioner was very grooved, beyond what they'd recommend. Should it be ignored and left to chance or changed? That's the question. I had mine changed and I'll do my Aero myself to save a whole wodge. David.
