My wife's '07 S has recently started making a ton of timing chain noise, especially at idle. Over 3k rpms it quiets down and at anything above idle it kind of comes and goes but makes a racket at idle (sounds like a diesel). The tensioner was replaced at 15k under warranty as it made a slight noise that I pointed out when we took it in for it's scheduled service. Does it sound like the tensioner is going again? How difficult a DIY is this (I've rebuilt engines/transmissions ground up, so I can tackle pretty much anything, just need to know level of effort so I can plan garage time accordingly).
