AFRICAN CAR, SWINGS, MEANS CRANK HERE.
HERE ONLY DOORS SWING AND CRANKS SPIN./
NO ENGINE TOLD
2.0L PETROL
2.7 L PETROL
2.0L CRDI DIESEL? NOT TOLD ENGINE.
SO (TOSS DICE) LAND
GAS (PETROL ANSWERS) ME.
SPARK DEAD OR ENGINE DEAD.
NO MILES ON CAR, (ODOMETER)
2009 IS 14 YEARS OLD AND NO CAM BELT ON 2.0L LASTS THAT LONG, AND WHEN SLIPPED BELT OR SNAPPED,
COMPRESSION IS NOW ZERO OR 1/2 NORMAL
AND SPARK IS NOW DEAD UNTIL REPAIRED
OUR CARS HERE THE CAM BELT IS CHANGED EVERY 60KMILES OR 100KM.
OR IT BREAKS.
A TECH DOES 2 THINGS, SPARK DEAD
SEE IF CAM IS DEAD (NOT SPINNING)
THEN CHECKS THAT CAM IS STILL TIMED AND BELT NOT A WRECK IS I FULLY EXPECT.
it is possible that if the engine just stopped that the timing belt has broken
If the mileage is over 100,000 klms and the belt has never been changed then it is a sure bet
next is the cam/crank position sensors are failing
next is the immobilizer has cut in
lastly the ignition control module has failed
check engine fuses as well

This is my first timing belt change on my 2005 Toyota Sienna; and I am .... just switch my cam sprockets backwards and upgrade my 2.0 to a 2.4.
If the tensioner is for the cam timing belt then it certainly WAS touched. You can't install a new belt without releasing the tensioner.
Maybe you can back off a bit and see if they won't share the cost of maybe finding a used replacement engine from a salvage yard - you pay 25% and they cover 75% or some other arrangement. A used engine is going to be cheaper than rebuilding your damage engine.
After all, you didn't wrench on the engine, they did.
It's is extremely unusual to have to change a sprocket unless these is significant wear or other obvious damage. What does get changed is the belt, idler bearings, and most importantly, the tensioner assembly. There are full parts kits for this.
Now is this a 1.8 petrol twin cam or a single cam engine as it will be the same as our opel astra or zaffiro but these belts do not stretch and as such iam perplexed a bit by your question here but either engine can be tightened but shouldnt need it really
For 1999 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 16V timing belt replacement interval is: 60000 km (37500 miles), or 48 months (4 years). Replace also tensioner roller, (the same interval) ! If you don't know precisely if timing belt has been done, then replace it obligatory !!!
