Serpentine belt/tensioner replacement?

Hey folks,

Still running my GE8 5MT. I have around 110,000KM on it now and where it's 10 years old I was wondering if it makes sense to change the serpentine belt & tensioner? No real noise but maybe just where the car itself is that old? Thanks

Replacing is up to you. If you feel more comfortable with a newer belt then by all means do it. It is part of maintenance, if it is not squealing then it should be fine. Look at the grooves for any signs of cracks and deterioration and go from there.
