was a new tensionner installed? also, if either the old or new tensioner were re-compressed too quicly, they can be destroyed inside. They mush be compressed EXTREMELY SLOWLY - over many minutes.

 

also, do any of the pulleys wobble?

I guess thats what caused it then. compressed the tensioner too fast i guess.

worth taking a close look around in case a mounting bolt for an idler pulley is loose.
