Idler Pulleys.......symptons of impending failure????

I had one of the idler pulleys replaced last Jan after it started making the typical 'cricket' sound at idle - the air temp at the time when I first noticed the noise was around -10 deg C.
12 months later and with the temp at -8 deg. C I have noticed the same chirping sound. However, this (so far) only seems to occur when the engine is cold, and only when I have the car in neutral and have the clutch pedal pressed down......does any of this sound familiar to anyone????
As far as I know, the idler pulleys had never been replaced, so I guess at 70k miles, the second one is overdue. I don't have a garage and working outside in winter is not my idea of fun, so I will probably pay to get the pulley replaced, if needed.
Thanks in advance!
Quentin
