This question is really subjective. Since we are not there and cannot determine what is going on, it is going to be up to you to solve what you need to do.
That being said, I'll give you two scenarios which might help you get to an end point in your decision.
First:
- If you have the belt off and have access to the tensioner
(pulley will spin free), grab the pulley and see if there is any
deflection. Deflection meaning, does it move in any way other than
going around?
- Does it teeter on its axis?
- Can you hear any noise when you rotate it by hand?
- Does it feel like there is any grinding in the bearing (it should be
very smooth and spin freely)?
If you are seeing any or all of these problems, the pulley is probably out of sorts, and it will need to be replaced, BUT:
Second:
- With the belt on and engine running, did the tensioner move a lot when the engine was revved? (I would define a lot of movement as rotating more than 5deg ... subjective, though.)
- Has the belt jumped off of track recently?
- Have you been hearing the alternator scream at you right after start-up?
- Does the belt seem like it is "flopping in the wind" as the engine is running (usually seen on a longer run between pulleys)?
If you are seeing any of these issues, I'd suggest you replace the entire assembly.
Something to think about, at least here in the States, is that if you go to O'Reilly's, get just the pulley, replace yours, and it doesn't solve the issue, you should be able to take it back to them for a full refund or exchange for the tensioner, which will have the pulley on it. Ask them at the counter first, but this should hold true at almost any major auto parts chains.
