As already posted my cam belt snapped the other day (300tdi).
I got the timing case off today to find this

It's done less than 30K and is under three years old, as you can see it's got the updated kit with the guides on the crank pulley.
So how has it wandered so far and eaten the belt ?
Some more photos so you can hopefully shed some light on this


Note the groves worn by the belt.
Now I don't know how this has happened with the updated pulley.



what was left of the belt

I recently changed the injection pump (using a locking kit) but haven't done anything else in the cam belt area.
I don't want to just chuck the new belt on (full kit) and have this happen again.
