On both of my cars, the tensioner pulley was DONE by 45K miles/10 or so years. Starting to squeak, and when the belt was off did not spin smoothly at all. You don't want to risk that belt breaking! If you are going in there at all, replace it all the kit is cheap enough $83 at FCP Euro for all three bits plus the new bolts as a kit.
