Timing belt tensioner issues
Hi I have a 2002 Acura TL type s and have been having an issue with the timing belt tensioner, it failed when I got the car and I then replaced it and it failed again within 2 weeks, trying to find out if the idler wheel could be bad causin it to fail or the other tensioner, was hoping to get other people’s opinions before I go throwing money at it

well basically the tensioner does not completely fail it just starts making a horrible noise around 1k to 2k rpm and when I pulled the front cover off it was coming from belt vibration so I changed the tensioner and it stopped that belt vibration for a couple weeks and now it is back, I assumed it was the tensioner failing
