Woodruf key is what holds thhe crank pulley in position. So when you fit the pulley it slides on this. To check its worn you will have to get the pulley off and have a look.

it is weird that replacing the crank sensor fixed it and then 1 week or so later, bam, and it's back to square one again

Alright mate, sounds like your egr needs a good clean or replacing! Mine was going mad when the egr was all gunked up and i cleaned it and its running perfectly again!
Trying giving it a clean and see what happens, dont know why the crank sensor fixed it for a week but if your EML is showing the EGR then clean it! It may just work

yeah i need to try that, didn't get round to doing it when it was mentioned before
did you need to take the bottom inlet off to get to it, or can you reach it from underneath (not looked as the garage have it at the moment)??
