I would have them inspected, and if the tensioner is weeping then get it changed.

technically speaking they only require a belt and the tensioner/idlers are replaced upon inspection

we carry the SKF/Gates kits in stock and do deals as always

Considering the potential damage caused by any of these part failing i would say change the lot.

All i'll say is Alyn 'ASP' was the most competitive, is willing to give time to answer your questions & provides great service!
He's always got offers on, so best to ring him.
