Changing belt on 2.1D - What else?
What else should be carried out (checked or replaced) in a chaging belt operation of a 2.1 Diesel? (car is a XM mk2) Water pump?, etc.

Just the same as any other XUD - Tensioner, water pump - also have a new auxiliary belt ready to go on. Don't know about the XM but the Xantia gives a little more hastle with getting the top engine mount off. Also a bit more difficult to get a 6mm rod in the flywheel. I dont bother - just rely on paint dobs on the crankshaft.
In case you dont havethe correct dowels, cant find the dowel holes - or the balancer has moved the rubber holes [8] - I did this writeup a couple of years ago : Replacing cambelt

Not to bad a job once you get into it, mine's had three belts in 10k. New one when I bought it, after 5k the water pump went and after another 5k the head gasket, and compared with fitting that, the cam belt's a doddle! The two most difficult parts of the job are getting the crankshaft pulley nut undone and getting the top cover disengaged from the surrounding pipes. Also note that the allen screw that secures the tensioner is located in a hole in the engine mounting bracket. If you are going to change the auxiluary drive belt/s, make sure you get the right one, there several different set ups.
