A4 wont start !! Help
I have an audi a4 avant quattro. I was just driving and came to a stop sign and the car stopped. I tried starting it wouldn't start again. I changed the control module but still no power coming out. It does crank well. All lights and power comes on and it does crank but no power is going into the ignition. does anyone knows why? please help.

Spark, fuel, air, timing.
Is there spark at the spark plugs?
Is there fuel being delivered?
My guess is that the timing belt tensioner went and your belt skipped some teeth.
How many miles since the timing belt was changed?

I think it might be my timing belt because I opened it and did not see the belt turn when the car is cranked. also the belt seems a little loose. Guess I have to remove the whole front panel to check it out. thanks for the advice.

Do not attempt to start your car. This is an interference engine, which means that the pistons can hit the valves if the timing belt has slipped.
Take it to a mechanic who deals with german cars/ VW/Audi.

not a nice thing to happen at any time but you might be lucky because its will be the crank where the teeth have broke which means the top end stopped dead and in many cases no valves were hit so it would be beast to fit a new belt and do a compression test to confirm if the valves were hit, you never know you might just be a lucky sod and save a bunch on the repair
that's what should be done first before stripping the top end
