I have the car listed above it is the wagon SW2 and I need to replace the tension pulley. Is a pulley from a 1999 Saturn SL compatible?

Same tensioner is used on both versions of the 1.9 used that year.
But I do not like to use a used tension-er, they get weaker as they age and the one you put on may be worse than the one you already have. Now if it was just replaced a while ago it is likely okay.
