On mine (petrol 1.8) the belt has an automatic tensioner. If the diesel is the same then I'd guess that the "spring effect" has gone therefore leaving the belt partially slack. Try twisting the belt at it's longest length. If you can twist it easily thru more than 90 degrees then the tention isn't right.

If i remember right i think you slacken the center bolt on the tensioner pulley then turn the adjuster bolt at the front of that pulley clockwise then retighten the center bolt
