Anyone else changed the tensioner and still get the ticking??
Short answer - no. What's the year and mileage?
Worn EXUP bushes and loose EXUP cables can cause ticking sounds. Locating noises is never a precise sport.
If you tighten the manual tensioner a touch, does the ticking go away ... maybe change to a whirring sound (which means too tight, BTW)?
I'd be taking it back to the garage that sold you a manual tensioner as a cure but seemingly didn't fit it right or didn't correctly diagnose the original fault.

Exup gone but cables still there... Not me and been meaning to remove them..
Not touched the tensioner since it was fitted, done 1k+ miles since it was fitted. Will speak to them next time i am there..
