There are plenty of 2.0HDi cambelt videos on You Tube that will give you a feel of what's needed. There are a few variants of the 2.0 engine though so some details may be a little different.
If you take a look at some videos, it'll probably bring some questions to mind that you can get answered here.

Haynes manual worked ok for me.
As mentioned before on other threads there are no issues with fuel injection pump timing as is common rail.
The vehicle with 2.0 hdi I worked / work on is a Dispatch so maybe had luxury of a bit more space. I found the job fairly straightforward, wouldn't want to charge myself an hourly rate though for the time I took though.
What I would say is make a mental note of how tight the old belt is before you slacken it off. Is easy to over tension the new belt

Can you do the '90 degree twist' trick with these?

[cancunia]

The tensioner has a marker to show when it's at the correct tension, so f you are putting a new belt, rollers & tensioner on there should be no problem. Probably a good idea to replace the water pump at this time too if it's not already been done.

You're right of course cancunia, I forgot about the notch in the tensioner, was thinking of the DW8 that I had to go back and slacken as was making a humming noise because was a bit tight.
Yea RC I think the 90 twist on longest stretch works, I just was using too much effort to get that 90 first time I changed on the DW8
