Can I adjust my Polo's chain?

Can I adjust my Polo's chain?

Is the tensioner on a 1.2l 3 cylinder petrol engine from a 2012 polo hydraulic. If not can it be adjusted for a very so slightly stretched timing chain

Our answer:

Hi Muhammad, 

It would appear that there is some adjustment in the tensioner possible, but we really wouldn't recommend this operation if you know that the chain is stretched. It should be replaced.
