I would change the lot if thats what you have. Torx bolts up the side - you can work out where from the new part

Jan 2007 at 22:37 Starting with tensioner top left, over PAS top right, down to a/c bottom right, around crank bottom middle, around water pump centre, round alternator bottom left back up to tensioner top left. Get a large wrench on tensioner, attempt to 'tighten' clockwise - this will give the slack...

The attempt to 'tighten' bit just moves the pulley against the spring to allow to to get belt on. As soon as to release, the sprint will retension belt. It will be obvious when you do it, honest
