HI
I was told by euro car parts that there was a mod by peugeot on the XU petrol engine timing belt kits that replaced the standard type tensioner for the needle type variant that removed the need for the tension tool. From memory if you have that type of tensioner you set it to maximum tension, turn the engine over twice by hand, refit the timing pins then re tension so that the needle sits in the middle. Remove the timing pins turn over twice again, re check the tension. That is what i have fitted to my 1.8 16v at present.
