You might thank your cover for alerting the problem to you. Soon, the cover will be worn through and so will the Tbelt.

Replace the tensioner? Sure, it is time anyway. What needs to be done is measure the angles of the other rollers also. In fact, I would replace the tensioner and all rollers, just to be safe. If the Tbelt slips off, it will cost about $2K to fix things. A new belt and rollers are cheap.

Also a good time to inspect the water pump, they usually go bad around the 200K mark.

BTW, get an OEM belt. They cost a little bit more than the continental belts but fit better and last longer.

If this fix is too expensive for you, I am in the market for a really good 850 :)
