Timing belt
I just got a 03 tls with 108k and was wondering if the timing belt is been replaced? Anyway of telling?
It looks like the tensioner (spelling) was replaced. Is there a reason why that was replaced and not the timing belt?

No way of telling. What tensioner? The timing belt or the serpentine belt tensioner?

A carfax report might possibly show if/when/where it has been in for service. You could call any likely looking entries and confirm what service was done.
This is how I confirmed the timing belt had been replaced when I bought my 02 TLS

that tensioner pulley by the alternator is for the alt-ac belt and often fails before 80
If you just bought the car chances are LOW that anyone put 1000-1500 dollars in it then sold without mentioning it as a sales point!
basic logic~
look for new spark plugs, various cover bolts removed and installed will have tool marks on them, new air filter?

Worth registering on Acura's site with the VIN- maybe it's on there if it was done. Or check with the local Acura dealer where the seller was, also w/ the VIN. I did that & got a printout of what had been done before I bought mine. Did you ask the previous owner for any service records?

i called one of the dealer and they said that new spark plugs and the tensioner was replaced.
i still need to call another dealer that did service on it also. hopefully i was replaced...

look at the left side of the engine -standing in front of car
look at bolts on the plastic covers- anything look like a wrench has touched it?
