I got in, to start the Jetta ( I forgot to turn my A/C off..it was on when I started it), Car starts..@ the same time I hear a popping, blowing sound from the front engine area and smokes alil..so I turn it right off and see whatsup..soo I try to start it again, It Cranks..but it makes these noises and the engine, shakes/rattles a bit.

Depending on what the engine type is(free running or interference), if the belt did go, you'd hear more than that. Probably wouldn't crank either. Should have posted in the VW sub-forum also.

Shit..Well, I hope it was just the damn Timing Belt..hah. ummmmm no, don't know much of the VW motors, but I would have to say it wasn't the timing belt considering it still runs.
