My car was losing power when I was driving and making clicking sounds, after parking suddenly it started cranking, not starting up and oil is not been supplied of the camshaft.

Hi,

This model isn't offered in the US, but I will try my best to help.

First, does the engine sound normal when you try starting it? Also, is the engine oil clean and full? If there is no oil getting to the camshaft, it could have locked causing damage to the timing belt.

Do me a favor. Record it cranking and upload it for me to hear. I should be able to tell if it is a timing issue.

Let me know.

Joe
