Car broke down...
Wife was driving the '01 TT down the interstate when the car suddenly shut off. She had it towed back to the house. Whenever I try to start it, it will turn the engine but it doesn't try to start (nothing fires). Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?

troubleshooting
What is the easiest way to tell if this is really the problem? Do I have to take everything apart and actually look at it or are there other indications that I could look for?

There is a plastic cover..>>
On the passenger side of the engne that covers the belt. Snap it open and see if it's there...
Honestly though, if the engine just spins freely when you engage the starter, the belt (and Valves, and pistons) are toast..

if the timing belt breaks, does it take out other engine components?
I am guessing that if the belt has broken, I am going to need to replace other parts of the engine as well...
