I found this site helpful but it doesn't tell the whole story. https://www.petrila.net/repair/2/406d8/i...eg0ik3.htm
For a start, they changed the design of the cam pulleys in late 1997 and yours will have a single centre bolt to lock it to the camshaft. The petrila guide shows the older type with 3 smaller bolts locking the pulley to the camshaft. As part of the belt change you have to release the pulley from the camshaft whilst the camshaft is locked in place by a 6mm pin. The pin & belt aren't man enough to take the force of the centre bolt either being undone or torqued back up so you need a tool like this to hold the camshaft while you do that. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Laser-2869-Ca...xycmBS3kyE
The petrilla guide also doesn't show a picture of the tool you need to rotate the cam belt tensioner. I made one using a piece door handle bar welded to a piece of flat bar!
I suggest you do lots of research beforehand. There are various guides & posts on other sites (e.g. the 306gti6 website) detailing a cam belt change. (The belt kits & process is the same on the GTi6 and the 16v XSi).
The Peugeot part number for the manual tensioned cam belt kit is 0831.48 and the water pump is 1201.93. Try to check that whatever aftermarket versions you get you cross-reference to those numbers and you should be OK.
E.g. this is the correct kit from a reputable eBay supplier. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Timing-Belt-K...SwXJNZbUHS
....and this is a correct water pump. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Comli...wkuRZeMz4, Although not a top brand, it should be OK.
