Volkswagen Jetta with a weird engine noise and an even weirder diagnosis from the shop that had it before me.
This one will make you want to learn how to work on your own cars for sure!!

this is my current problem
That is not from belt tensioner it from old belt don't leson to this guy
I can't believe that car ran with belt like that
My car is making that same exact noise right now. I have been freaking out thank you, And yes the car is running perfectly fine too
That's a VW Mk4. Ask me how I know! I had that exact same sound on a 2002 Vw Golf, started about ten miles before the car wouldn't go anymore because the timing belt lost too many teeth.
As it turns out, the 2.0 is sometimes listed as interference, sometimes not. Valve damage can occur.
Anyway, thanks! I've been trying to figure out what made the teeth come off like that, and a loose tensioner makes sense. Wish me luck putting it back together without needing to replace the head.
