Ok, I was driving on the highway and suddenly my 2003 jetta tdi with 540000Km lost power and dead. I tried to restart it and the starter only went "click". I checked the timing belt and it looks to be ok. I pulled the glow plugs and one appears slightly bent at the tip. It pulled off the accessory belt and tried to manually crank the engine. I could rotate it about a 1/4 revolution before it locks up. What happened and why?
