What's the normal practice with these engines. Just replace the belt or the idlers and tensioners too?

Thanks.

if you dont know if its had idlers or a tensioner before especially at 90k best to change it as its normally not the belt that fails but the tensioner loses its tension or just fails and makes the belt loose causing it to slip

Just do it all mate, theres no point scrimping on items like these. The belt kits are only 180 from import car parts and the waterpumps are about 40. You could always take the oil pump off and inspect it for wear while its all apart anyway and replace if necessary.
