The Serpentine Belt needs to be tightend with the tensioner pulley (Idler Pulley)
Using a 14 mm wrench, loosen the bolt in the center of the tensioner pulley, then tighten the tensioner bolt with the same wrench. Then re-tighten the bolt in the center of the tensioner pulley when the belt is tightened to your liking.
Yes. on the pulley for sure. Maybe the pump too. preasure the dealer.

The serpentine belt tensioner is held in place by one bolt. The retaining bolt goes through the middle of the serpentine belt tensioner pulley.
