hi MinniTheMoocha;

whilst I'm not sure what causes a Timing belt to find it's way loose ,John ( next door mechanic ) who fitted the timing belt "said" he had torqued up the tensioner according to the specs on Haynes Manual , also Note !!!! vehicle had been driven without any issues Post Fitment of the Timing Belt for a quite while and only just recently I had noticed a slight loss of power,,, obvioulsy on fitment things were torqued up enough & somehow the tensioner found it'sway loose , wheather this is a common thing????
can't answer that?
