A "funny" noise doesn't give much of a hint but the first thing you want to do is open the hood and make sure the belt is on and also tight. If so the problem could be be anything from the crankshaft positioning sensor to the alternator or even water in the gas and you will have to get the fault code to find what the problem is. If it is the belt that's not expensive to replace but you still need someone that knows what they're doing. Get a mechanic to look at it.

yes is easy as looks till time to bleed new pump fill with fluid and pull ignition fuse so wont start and as turning wheel from one side to other turn key to turn over engine refill fluid and start bleed air in normal fashion.

replace timing belt thats why it seems like batterys dead the belt has stretched. also replace fuel filter.

Yes its a big fault if the timing belt breaks whilst the engine is running you could need a few new valves and possibly a new piston or two as well

Check timing belt. Remove the oil filler cap and look at the rocker arm. If you get someone to turn the engine while you watch and you see no movement... it's a broken belt. If you see movement, perhaps the belt has slipped. Replace belt and re time.

turn the key on, while having a buddy with the gas cap off listen for the fuel pump. If the fuel pump doesnt turn on than thats the problem. Try changing the relay first, if it were me I would bypass it first just to make sure. good luck

Sounds like cam belt has snapped. If it broke while starting, could be cheap fix...new belt. Worst case: cylinder head off for overhaul...bent valves / pistons replaced.

your car does not have a timing belt it has a chain. but yes if the pump is driven by timing belt and it starts leaking the coolant gets on belt and it will fail. if your car has the 2.4 engine the water pump runs off of the timing chain and depending on mileage it would be smart to go ahead and replace it since it will be tore down anyway will save on labor
