Hey guys my dads van cut out recently due to the Auxiliary belt coming apart and wrapping its self behind the the crank pulley causing the engine speed to bee intermittent due to damaging the crank sensor or possibly the trigger wheel behind the pulley.
Do any of you fine people know the torque spec for the crank pulley and if possible where to get a hold of a new trigger wheel if it is damaged.
Cheers as always guys.

Have you removed all of the timing belt covers to check that none of the Auxiliary belt has found its way inside and that the engine timing is still correct?
My mates Aux belt shredded & snapped, he had it replaced, driving a few hours later the engine went bang.
A piece of the old Aux belt had managed to get in & work its way under the timing belt which caused it to jump position and cause the pistons to contact the valves.
My advice don't drive the vehicle until it is checked.
I believe the crank pulley bolt is 30Nm then 180 degrees. (That will be close enough)
