Hi kev, the spring you talk about is part of the belt adjuster and obviously automatic in adjustment and can be easily un-tensioned you a suitable tool which fits into the backing plate of the tensioner, usually 3/8 or 8/10mm drive
Hope this helps

The Timing belt is considered maintance. So it is not under warranty. $680 Canadian is an OK price. Since most front wheel drive cars have the timing belt and water pump close together it makes sense to do them at the same time. The Pump & Belt are not expensive. Getting to them is. The fan belts are fairly cheap and easy to do but since they are coming off any way replace them to.
