2006 Volkswagen Jetta TDI BRM 1.9 Diesel Automatic DSG 144,000 miles
Was driving today felt a little vibration and engine died. The car has a known bad flywheel that I was planning on fixing before 150k. I felt a vibration and then the rpm just dropped to zero no loud noises or anything, oil level still good. Turns over but won't start, the sound I'm getting almost sounds like similar to a compression test. Hopefully engine is still good, if flywheel did take out the engine what type of sound would have happened and what should I look for? Camshaft was replaced less then 10,000 miles ago at the dealer, all maintenance current.
No CE lights on or anything right now. Will take a deeper look at it tomorrow and also get another opinion from a VW tech soon. Located here in Aurora CO near Denver off I-70 if anyone is up for taking a look at it. Was driving to Boulder on HWY 36 today doing a lyft ride when this happened cruise control on at 80 mph. Any help and advice appreciated.
