How to tension the serpentine belt
2010 LXS with 66k miles. I understand these belts can last up to 100k miles but the car is 8 years old already so I'm thinking of changing the belt due to age rather than miles. I took a peak at the belt in the car but could not figure how the belt is tensioned. Any ideas?

Re: How to tension the serpentine belt
it's an automatic tensioner, rule of thumb with most cars is to replace the tensioner when you replace the belt
