It is not a difficult task to check the tensioners. There are a few posts that describe it. The unfortunate thing for me was that I ignored researching the post and panicked and took it to the shop. They did a good job, but charged me 4 hrs at $85.00 an hour and $250.00 for the tensioner. My car has the AC stripped out, so it would have been easier for me to do the work. The sound of a collapsed tensioner is a rattling / grinding sound from one of the sides of the engine. As of now, let's not jump to conclusions. Relax and first rule out the parts associated with the belts. How many miles are on your engine?
