The tensioner/idler assembly is well known to fail at roughly 70,000 miles, and your 104,000 KM's is ~65K miles- swap it out along with a new belt. Inspect your other pulleys to be sure they're in good shape.

That's reassuring. Kind of want to stop putting money into maintenance items because the wifey is now looking at new vehicles. Hopefully this will get the slight rattle noise to be gone, although I do hear the suspension mounts rattle over bumps. The wifey doesn't hear them but I'm so intune with the car you can tell when something isn't right.
