Hi!
My Peugeot 307 2005 had a bad chranckshaft pulley and it made the serpentine belt come off. Due to circumstances i drove (gently) for approximatly 10 minutes. Does anybody have any ideas as to how i can check if the engine was overheated and took any damage? This so i dont spend time fixing the pulley and belt on a car with a broken engine.

On that engine the cambelt drives the waterpump & the fan is electrically powered.
So unless there's any other issues the engine should be fine.
Fit new bits as appropriate.

If the old belt is torn up I’d be having a good look around the cambelt run for debris

The rubber in the crank pulley usually fails on these and usually without damaging anything else.
