Wow that was lucky.
Very similar to mine one day, I started it up and it didn't sound right, but it was an emergency as my bro had got his hand stuck (long story ha) and off I went. My engine light was on and sounding really loud. After getting it home I opened the bonnet and took the cover off and one large piece of tensioner fell out along with millions of small pieces! Very very lucky!
Car is looking good mate!

Thanks dude, much appreciated. That does sound like a really close call, but i guess that is why they say to do the belt every 40,000. I think i am going to do mine a bit more often than they say as i am quite worried that it will fail
Other News:
I am currently in Holland visiting my grandparents and tomorrow i am heading to the Nurburgring to take a look. Sadly i do not have the polo with me but i will be coming back in september time to give it a lap. Just going to see the museum etc whilst i am close. I am in mums golf 1.9 TDI but she wont let me take it round

Out of interest, did you hoist the engine or just support it underneath?

Just supported it underneath with some axel stand/stool thing we have. Then used the ramp a lil bit
