You don't have to replace anything. I'm just suggesting that you pop the belt off and wiggle the pulleys. It's not that difficult, just crank the tensioner over with a wrench, slide the belt off of one of the pulleys, wiggle 3 pulleys and if you notice one of them has resistance or play, then you've found your culprit. You could continue to drive for 100k miles if you could live with the squeak and the part doesn't completely fail.
Shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to check it. |
