Description of the problem	Car was running fine, no dash lights, odd sounds or anything to indicate issue. Last oil change was normal and almost due for new oil change. At 109k miles, went to start the car and turned over but immediately shut down. Thought maybe key fob or fuel pump but had to have towed to vw dealer. Upon reviewing, dealer explained that car suddenly jumped the timing chain and ruined the engine, requiring replacement of new one costing $8000+.
