Default Serpentine belt update for a 93 90cs...

My 93 90 has the old style roller for the serp belt and I'd like to update it to the new style tensioner with the shorter belt when I do my timing belt next week. I usualy buy my parts from autohausaz.com, but there site is confusing as to which serp belt I should buy for the update. I know I need the shorter belt, but which one?

Also... Do I just get the newer style tensioner and put it in place of the old idler pully/roller, or is it more complicated than that?<ul><li><a href="http://www.autohausaz.com/search/productx.aspx?sid=x3ewwhmxd4gz0o55uhjl1355&amp;mak eid=800002@Audi&amp;modelid=1008515@90%20&amp;year =1995&amp;cid=36@Belt%20Drive%20System&amp;gid=890 5@Serpentine%20Belt/Ribbed%20Drive%20Belt">http://

Default The updated tensioner & belt are available in a "kit"....

both from Audi dealerships, and othere than dealership sources. You can get the part number for the kit, then buy tensioner &amp; belt in one shot. Makes it easier. ;O)<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/9080/msgs/363905.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/9080/msgs/363905.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default So the update tensioner for pre-95 motors is different from the tensioner on newer motors?

At this point I might just stick with the original design as it will cost less and I don't have to deal with the guess work. Besides... the car has 140k on the clock and the original design has worked fine so far.
