i always replace the timing belt and tensioner together. just a good habit and rule of thumb. its one of those cheap dumb lil things that can bite you in the ***.

yep, you should. It's cheap to do while you're in there, and catastrophic if you don't do it and it breaks.

I inspect the tensioner every timing belt change. I replace the tensioner, regardless of the inspection results, every other timing belt change.
