Need Help: Car turned off while driving and did not start again.

[GB5]

Hello everybody,
As stated in subject my car turned off while I was driving and couldn't started again. Car stalled and then stoped.
I did timing belt about 15k miles ago and was my first thought. I opened the hood, checked the TB and it is there and intact. I removed the oil cap and tried to start the engine but i see parts are not moving.

Any ideas?
What should I check?
Can I consider the engine's gone?

My car: 2001 A4, 5sp, FWD.

Thanks for your help and advise!!!

Unplug your maf and see if she will start.

With the highlighted part of your post, possibly your crank sprocket keyway has sheared off.

I would tear down the front, and check the timing.

^Missed that part. Honestly, I only read the title and maybe first couple of lines.

Did you take a better look at it yet GB5? I'm curious to know what it was that caused this.

Thanks guys for your feedback. So far I haven't been able to check the car..... crazy schedule at work but I think I'l be free this weekend and will check the car.

Check your timing fuses. This happened to me the other day, a few lights flickered on and off on my dash, engine stalled, would crank but not start...checked fuses, one was blown, replaced it and she's back to normal
