Citroen C3 car cut out, engine warning light on

Car: Citroen C3
Variant: Desire petrol 1.4
Model Year: 2004
Categories: Engine & Drivetrain
Car lost power then stopped, wouldn't turn over or restart. Green Flag attended, stated either crankshaft sensor problem or timing belt sensor. Got it booked into a garage, but wondering if problem might be more serious. Car doesn't start, makes shrieking sound if ignition attempted

If crank sensor faulty the engine will turn over but not start , no idea what the timing belt sensor is he mentioned .Really hard to advise without checking the car , check you have coolant and engine oil o.k , Noise could be the starter , a belt / tensioner , low battery but so many possible causes .
