That's great! At least I know I don't have to spend the extra money now, so that's good. God, it really sucks though. I just bought this car like 4 in a half months ago, and it had only 45,000 miles. I really didn't expect this to happen so soon. And it's not like I don't keep up with the maintanance; it just hasn't been time to yet. Now if I have a bad tensioner, does that mean I have to replace the tensioner? I'm pretty sure the tensioner is expensive right? Thanks again for the help though.
You know, I'm also wondering if there's a recall on this particular tensioner part. I just don't think it should fail at such low milege, and especially right after the warranty period expires!
