Hi,

My polo has been making engine noises ever since i loaded a lot of bricks onto the car to recycle.

First I had an engine warning light.

Then the car would not start. Will constantly idle when using my keys to turn on the engine but the engine did making a starting up sound.

We tried the jump the car but not the car does not start at all, makes no engine noises.

Attached a video of the noise it now currently makes.

Any help would be appreciated it.

Thanks

The 1.2 3 cylinder is known for its timing chain issues. I'd suggest you get this checked as a matter of urgency, and avoid trying to start it again till then
