Yeterday, while drive to work, the following happened.
While accelarating from a trafic light, using the car like it is supposed to, it feld a little sluggish but did not really pay attention to it.
Later when I got of the motorway and turned left while accelarating the was nothing left, no accelaration, nothing.
The engine stopped and could not be started again.
While starting it sound very strange, asif only the startermotor is turning.
Looking in using the oilstop we see the cam is turning while starting also the belts are turning.
Starting is done in very shortbursts. No ratteling or hitting metal to metal is heard.
The guys from AA-support suggested the timingbelt has shifted position. Can this be, while driving/ accelarating??
Could use suggestions!!!
Thanks
Carlo
