The positive battery connection to the BMS from the small lug includes a fuse inside the sheaf. Check continuity to the BMS 2-pin plug with a multimeter.

Wear from the plunger is elongated by about 0.5mm. Due to the 60 degree angle with the pivot point the plunger must slide. As the hole wears deeper I think the plunger movement will become impeded. The tensioners must be able move continuously to allow the relatively different rates of thermal expansion between the aluminium engine and steel timing components.

Plunger movement is approx 60 degrees to the blade pivot. The contact area will slide 50% of the movement distance.

New tensioner and blade. Plunger action is close to 90 degrees from the blade pivot so very little sliding at the contact point.

Original Right tensioner. The tensioner has not moved far so I'm confident the chain has lots of life still. The plunger has worn a mm or two into the rear of the blade.

You can just about get a head, shoulder and arm up between the radiator and subframe!!

There's a saddle on the end of the strut holding it in position under the removal tool.
