What could be the cause of this?
Belt has been on 500 miles and had a new timing case, and oem belt kit.
I know 300tdi had a problem with this but not the 200tdi.
Haven't stripped it out yet and to be honest this continuing saga is making me lose the will to live! (OK, slight exaggeration but not far off)
 
How are you tensioning the belt? I find them a fiddle to tension as the belt is so wide it is hard to judge if it is the right tension.
Injector pump rear mount bracket still fitted?
Might be worth getting a straight edge across the inj pump and crank pulleys to see if they are running true.

I bought one of them torque wrenches with a pointer on it, whatever they are called.
Bracket is on the injection pump.
Maybe it will become more obvious when I strip it out.

Belt still might be to tight, I did buy one of them deflection torque wrenches years ago, found it next to useless.
When you tear it down, check the inside of the front timing case and see if the belt has marked it, if so it indicates the belt is walking off the pulleys.
 
Yeah it was a genuine one but no where near that price. When compared to the new pattern part, it has a lot less play in the bearing.
 
I had a tensioner that had a slight bend in the mounting plate once, brand new part but can't remember the make, too long ago, like 20yrs maybe.
