Had my 2005 Outback XT 5MT in for the 105K.
I requested the tensioner, and all the idler pulleys be replaced while they were in there replacing the timing belt. Did the water pump too.
They had planned to replace 4x cam seals too, but found that the little plastic (?) "thing" around a bolt for the cam had previously been severely mangled and said the existing cam seals looked fine anyway.
They discouraged me from having them tear into it.
Should I be concerned? My intent was to a "do it right" 105K service, as opposed to simply replacing the timing belt that the dealer quoted me.
