This is the S model. I have seen a lot of videos which show different versions of the tensioner, so I would like to get the right info for this car as they make so many versions.

Hi,

This isn't too difficult of a job, but it takes a little time. As far as the tensioner itself is concerned, I attached the directions for replacement specific to your vehicle.

Additionally, the last pic below provides the parts and labor information. I highlighted the OEM part number for you. Chances are you can find an aftermarket part for less money.

Let me know if this helps or if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
