2005 c230 kompressor won't start!?

My uncle was driving it and all of a sudden it died on him and wont start back up. He said a guy took a look at it and said if could be the timing chain. I took off the value cover and the timing chain is tight for 190,000 miles. Maybe jumped timing? (How could I tell?) Check coolant reservoir and no sign of oil. And he also said the engine has no compression at all. How can I diagnose the problem. I tried starting but won't turn over.

Does the engine click when you start, google crankshaft position sensor on your style of MB. I had a similar problem, cost me 56 bucks for the part, and about 150 to change at my local mechanic.

And when I try to start it I hear a popping noise from the engine? What could that be? And is it true that if your battery is bad, your car won't start?
