In partial answer to your questions about the idler pulley, I can tell =
you that my 1995 900S developed the same problem around 100K km, in =
2001. Fortunately it was caught at the noisy, pre-failure stage when =
everyone who got into the car asked what the weird ticking noise was and =
the belt had not actually been destroyed. As the car was long past =
warranty I had to pay for the repair and can't tell you about the =
warranty treatment it would or would not get in Canada. I am with you =
on the thinking that it should be part of preventive maintenance though. =
About 6 months or so earlier I had the original belt replaced, which is =
no easy or inexpensive task, and it seems that at that time an impending =
failure should have been noted, or even the idler recommended for =
replacement when the belt was replaced to save dismantling everything =
again. Hope this helps answer your questions a bit.
