[s-cars] RE: Catastrophic Engine Stoppage

Sound like the tensioner bolt(s) came loose. You may be able to adjust
the tensioner and snug down the bolts without too much disassembly. If
you remove the t-belt cover, it should give you enough access.

I recommended that you use loctite on the bolts to prevent them from
loosening.
