Need help getting some VIN-coded ECU's programmed. Keys, immobilizer etc. Also, can anyone recommend a scan tool that will read/code a 488. Any...

Satin roof contrast looks great. Congrats.
Browsing Ricambi, it shows the belt tensioner has been updated. Part number 238587 is now 325416. Seems like good preventative maintenance, belt...
Is this a symptom for a bad tensioner or belt? Or both?
Publicly traded=Mass production. Good news for second-hand buyers. ;)
