| Description of the problem | My car engine broke down all of a sudden without giving any engine light warning. I had to tow my car to a volkswagen dealer and they diagnosed the car and said that it did not have any engine oil in it and because of which timing belt ripped off and damaged all the pistons. This was very very unexpected because it did not give me any engine light on. If engine oil is low it should have given a warning light to catch my attention. Very fortunately it happened in my community and did not happen on busy highway with my baby on board. I cannot imagine that happening with baby on board on interstate. |
