Citroen cam belt

My cam belt is ready for a change on my HDI xantia exclusive. There does not appear to be a manual available for the HDI engine. I have changed them on standard xantia diesel engines, is there any difference. Any help would be great.

There's no automatic tensioner on the later engines.

Hi JohnD. If that is all the difference, will go for it manual or not![:D]

For the correct tension adjustment a special tool is necessary. BTW: it's a very bad job compared to the XUD engines. You have to break your arms, hands and fingers to remove the cambelt cover...
