if your cam belt broke i'd do a compression check on each cylinder you may find you have a bent valve.the timing is set by the ecu so unless you have put the belt on in the wrong place the timing is unlikely to be out.sorry but this sounds like bad news!!

it may not be as dire as all that, because at least some of the 1.2 engine versions are non interference - the pistons dont hit the valves. good luck

to set up your timing belt jack up car on drivers side undo small panel held by 4 screws, undo pulley held by 3 bolts, behind your see a second pulley with time marks on align to ten 0 clock, then set up top chamshaft pulley to a notch at v9 oclock then fit belt ajust do up bolt away it goes good luck
