Engine locks when turning engine over
My mk1 gti has been sat for a couple of years now, the engine will turn over but after about a second or so the engine will clunk to a stop and splutter. I guess its locking? The crank isn't able to be turned by hand either. A friend said it could be a number of things…. lol
Any help would be amazing as I have wanted to get him back on the road since he came off, but havent been able to. I miss him!

If it has been sat for a long time the fuel could be stale.
Hope this helps.
