Audi A4. Was running low on diesel but it has suddenly gone bang and now won't start. Timing belt seems ok and has not snapped

Any thoughts.....

Is it out of diesel? if so it may need the system priming, should tell you how to do that in the handbook otherwise a bit baffled

Does the timing belt turn when you crank it over? af the teeth have stripped it still looks ok but has no drive,and what do you mean by a bang?

Felix.

it was like a 'thump' from the engine

Has the little yellow engine management light come on on the dash?

Know anyone with a VAG-COM cable? That might help identify any problem.

Does the engine turn-over at all?

its a 2.4 V6. Yes it does turn over, just wont start.

Timing belt could have slipped a tooth due to a faulty/siezed adjuster.

If they're anything like the 1.9TDIs, stalling it or the engine stopping suddenly can be a bit of an event. If it's run out of fuel, purging the fuel system of air may be an issue. Whatever you do, don't just sit with the car on the starter for ages, you'll likely burn it out and flatten the battery.

HTH...

2.4 V6 is a Petrol engine. 2.5 V6 is a Diesel

Try the Belt that drives the diesel pump.
