Suggestions please

I have a mk4 golf gti 1.8t

I was driving along the bypass about 70 and felt a pull. Once I came off I turned the engine off for 5 mins and it wouldn't start again, got a push but it just made a clunk noise. The battery has power im sure of that.

Any suggestions much appreciated

Can you be more specific that a 'strong pull'?

What makes you think waterpump? Is it overheating?
