Which circlip? There are three in the timing belt tensioner- the one that holds the piston in the bore (#21), the spacer circlip behind the tensioner roller (#4) , and the circlip that holds the skid by the crank gear (#20A).

#21 is 999 041 030 01, not shaped like your average circlip, not sure if a generic internal snap ring would work. I don't have one here to measure, unfortunately. They're $1.50, new, from Porsche.

Pic, right next to the tensioner body:
