Default ??? Details???

You had the timing belt replaced about 5 months ago, has it run since then?

Have you cracked the fuel rail at the engine to see if there is fuel pressure?

If the fuel pump went South.....there are no codes.

Have you checked to see if you are getting fuel to the fuel rail?

Default He said no codes

So that's why I'm thinking fuel.

You may have done this already, but have you checked the compression in the cylinders?

Default How about the cam position sensor?

These commonly go out on the C4's and when that happens, no spark/no start. I don't think it will grace you with a code either. If you have the Bentley, go to Section 28 under Ignition System, Servicing. There is a Camshaft Position Sensor folder there to run a simple test with a voltage test lamp and a multimeter. This part is ~$85 for the D2, not too bad compared to other fuel components. My $0.02.
