Bolt came loose in engine..........$$$$$
Posted a few days ago about my Audi that would turn over but would not start. Turns out a bolt came off in the engine and did some damage. Mechanic told me that I forsure need a new tensioner and maybe there is more damage, he told me that I might need a new engine. Dows anyone have any thoughts or similar experiences to share?
Any help is appreciated.

Needing a new tensioner would imply to me that your TB snapped and everything collided
What is your mileage and when was your last TB service?
Bolts just don't "come lose" inside the engine. Outside, maybe but still seems unlikely.

sounds like a bolt came loose outside of the engine...
as in something related to your T-belt. And if that is the case and you lost crank to cam timing, you probably have bent valves. From what I understand, the bottom end is usually OK but for some marked up pistons so you may just need to rebuild the head.

...there you go. The one piece that actually needed to be didn't get replaced
and now it failed causing everything to go with it.
You get to rebuild your engine head now and its not cheap!
