Not an expert on this, but under the circumstances of incomplete records for our 1999 9-5 SE 2.3 and having 173K on the odometer I changed out the serpentine belt, idler, and entire tensioner. Though the belt seemed to be running true, there was a lot of tensioner movement - when out I could see that the tensioner pivot had worn and the tensioner was slightly contacting the block/chain cover. It wouldn't have taken many more miles to start doing major damage. I think the 60/120 plan sounds wise. BTW this car had already been switched to the short belt, so I kept it that wasy.
