Yup, was driving along and heard a “flapping” noise. Reminded me of a fan belt that was about half split across and the loose end was whipping underhood components. It only lasted a second or two. Then 5-6 seconds later it happened again. I put the clutch in, I don’t know why, and I noticed that the engine had stalled. I coasted to the curb and that was it.
When I tried to re-start the engine the starter drive engaged and that was it… engine would not turn over.
With a wrench on the crank bolt I can turn the crank counter-clockwise and the cam shafts move along with the belt, but when turning it clockwise the crank only goes back to the starting spot and something stops the crank from turning any further.
The car did not over run as if it sucked up oil, but maybe the turbo seal did die ??
