Cam chain tensioner

[jakex181]

My car went in for a new cambelt and the mechanic mentioned the cam chain tensioner seemed quite loud and may need changing soon in the future. I am just wondering if it is easy to DIY check the tensioner? Also how will i know when to replace it and can i do this myself easily?

Cheers
