been getting a squeaky sound when the engine is cold that sounds tensioner related. replaced both tensioner pulleys and got confused when i noticed there was no idler pulley (one that bolts near allternator). the bolt for it wasn't missing but a smaller bolt looked to be in its place. anyone ever come across this before? car operates normally.

edit: looks like the certain model tensioners don't have an idler pulley. didnt notice this the first time i studied these diagrams. both belts are the same too
