I have used Gates kits on all the changes I've done in the last 15+ years and never had a problem, if that helps! :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

If you go for an aftermarket part it might have a different replacement time/mileage to one from a Citroen dealer. At 10 years old though I would not be leaving it any longer to replace, I have usually done it a few years sooner to save the worry of possible early failure. Do the water pump as well as the tensioner and replace the coolant - I have normally obtained the coolant undiluted, not ready mixed, from the dealer.
