Needs to be replaced. You can go pikey style and replace just the tensioner but best thing to do is get a full timing belt kit

If you go pikey style I'd be changing the belt as well. I'd never re-fit an old timing belt.

The whole kit can be had for about £45.. Considering the tensioner by its self will cost not much less than that and theres only about an extra 15 minutes of labour involved in replace the belt + rollers too
and combined with the fact that a broken cambelt = a fucked engine you'd be a complete and utter cock master not to get the whole lot done.

Does that include the rollers? You MUST replace the rollers, they are shitty plastic things..
