Hi there,
I have done the belts on my ac xud 306 recentlly.
If you remove the RH wheel and the plastic cover, you can look at or remove the aux belt.
There is a second adjustable fixed adjuster lower down that you can loosen and the belt will come off easily.
To retension there is a 7mm square hole for applying tension while locking it back up.
I had to apply more than should be neccessary to stop the auto tensioner from making a noise at low rpm.
The AC models have your picture (1) version of auto tensioner In nearly all cases, but you should just be able to
see the square hole on that one from below to verify.
I think these (ac model) auto adjusters are problematic, and though I haven't replaced mine yet, I recall that a bit
of gear (maybe the power steering pump) has to be removed to get at it.
Make a drawing of the belt fitment around the pulleys before you take it off, though you could probably find the diagram on the internet. Maybe mark the manual tensioner too if you are unsure.
In the middle of a long section he belt should be able to turn 90 degrees when using finger and thumb.
The auto tensioner takers over the tensioning to a degree, but you do have to make it take up some tension using the manual adjustment.
You are liable to get a stock belt off the shelf if you have the old belt in your hand, the tensioner I would buy online
unless you have a lot of peugeots in Indonesia.
