No.

When you try to start the engine, does the starter motor sound normal,
or is it more of a high pitched sound like it is not encountering any
resistance?  If the latter, you have dropped (broken) a timing belt.
I have heard of them breaking as the engine is shut off.  If they
break while the engine is running, the pistons will eat all the
valves.

If you have a good warranty, this repair should be the responsibility
of whomever sold you the car.  If valves are broken, it can be
expensive.  (Been there with a '94 S4 that ate all 20 sodium filled
valves, plus a bent cam shaft when I encountered a big deer one lonely
night!)

Good luck.
