    Is there any sound when you turn the key?
    If not there may be an electrical failure.

    Can you clip the cam/timing belt cover off and give it an eye ball?

    will do but it had a cam belt change by vw 50km , my guess if it was the cam belt cover I would not have been able to drive it until I found a safe spot as I reved it the rattle died then when I tried to re start it its locked up, maybe dmf flywheel broke, ? Still shocked 24 hrs later

    Did you try put it in gear and push the car to see if the engine is locked or not?

    Ya put it in gear rocked car back and forth, also let it roll down hill let out the clutch she locked solid, wasnt ,burning, oil easy started loads of power, even when it started making noise at the traffic lights, I gad plenty of power to pull away, 2 mins before it ocked upI suspect its the flywheel???

    It doesn't sound good. Is it a 2.0 tdi? I think there was an issue with the oil pump failing on some of those engines.
