Not as familiar with later 9000s, but I'm not familiar with what tensioners they are referring to. Could this be the timing chain tensioner? If so, $150.00 would be more like it. Maybe they're adding the timing chain guides as well, in which case $300.00 is more likely. Perhaps, though, they're talking about new timing chain, tensioner, and balance shaft chain and sprockets. If they are talking timing chain, why aren't they charging you $2500.00 for a valve job as well, which naturally follows a timing chain disaster?
If your engine died as a result of losing the serpentine belt, that tensioner shouldn't exceed $200.00 plus an hour's labor. I am truly mystified by this figure.
Unless you drive a V6, in which case all bets are off!
