    On my first replacement i only changed the belt, second (at 140K) - tensioner and water pump. The tensioner was perfectly fine at 140K though and would go another 70K. Water pump, however, had some traces of leaks.

    Tensioner, tensioner pulley, idler pulley and water pump if it shows signs of leakage. If the accesory belt is showing signs of wear replace it as well and now is the time to reseal the oil pump and do front engine seals while you are in there. In my experience the oil pump, cam seals, and water pump don't usually leak enough to warrant replacing them "just because your in there". The tensioners do leak often enough and the bearings in the idler and tensioner pulley both go out often enough that I will usually recommend them to a customer if it is the second belt change.
