I have one here (2007) with the same problem. An exhaust valve breaks, piston breaks and a piece of piston gets caught between the big end (rod ) bearing and the side of the block & punches a hole in the block. Likely you will have a damaged liner as well. It also had a dealer timing belt change a few 1,000km before failure. You could check the timing with the dowel tools, basically 3 wire rods. You rotate the engine until you are able to insert them in the cam locations and the flywheel location. Was the water pump replaced at the same time as the belt? If not, it may have failed and caused the problem. It could also just be a valve failure as they sometimes fail after about 300,000km. If you have the block pieces you maybe able to have it welded back together, probably a replacement head, injector, glow plug, liner, piston & rod is what you will need. If you replace the engine, best replace the valves, water pump and timing belt before installing it.
