   competition cam belts are not about the profile of the cam.. they're stronger to cope with harsher environments.

    when doing cams, and putting a new cam belt on, do you need to get a new tensioner and idler?

    You dont have to as obviously u can inspect them an if there is no play in them then u could resuse them but its best if they are replaced if just for peice of mind, when citroen do a cambelt service they allways replace them. Also sometimes its worth replacing the water pump as its only £35 from citroen and while all that side of the engine is in bits you dont have to take anything extra off to replace it apart from the 2 bolts holding the pump itself on and if the cars done high millage its probs worth doing
