Belt, Tensioner and pulleys replaced. The repair was entirely preventive, due to the mileage on the car. Also on the MB World Org site a lot of owner where stating they were having problems with their belts breaking or the tensioner locking up,or the pulley making noise. So for the few bucks and my time as the car is my daily driver I figured better be safe than sorry.
