It's an easy enough job on this car - removing the covers can be the hardest part due to lack of space. I would definitely replace the water pump at this mileage and have a good look at the tensioner, although these are of excellent quality on this engine with sealed ball bearings and a metal roller.

Use a piece of domestic door handle square rod to set the tension and follow the instructions in the Haynes manual. You don't need the SEEM tension setting tool - the dealers don't use them anyway. Best place for spares is GSF.

A PSA TU timing belt is about the easiest one you can do, on the same level as a Ford CVH timing belt.

Should take about 2 hours if its your first one, with practice you can change them in 45 minutes they are that easy.
