Ok I've posted enough on this topic. My guess fuel pump.
Yea I regret taking it to the shop but all my tools are at my mom's house.
Should have rented a fuel pressure tester and tested a few things because if they tell me it's a bad fuel pump I'll be towing it to her house to replace it myself to save a few hundred bux
I hear that! I have every tool under the sun here and the big ones at mom's TWO garages (welder, big drill press, ramps, jack stands, etc x 10 ). I'm not up to fixing anything major now.Yea I regret taking it to the shop but all my tools are at my mom's house.

Just recently paid $300+ for "diagnosis ($99 alone) and change electric window motor...then weeks later $500+ for diagnosis, tie rod ends and front end alignment.
So much cheaper to DIY if you can swing it!

Well that was unexpected.Said looks like the car skipped timing, no compression on any of the cylinders.*Luckily* I purchased an extended warranty and it should be covered, but they want the engine torn down to confirm the diagnosis before approving the claim.

Yep timing belt and all that. They'll change the water pump and everything down the engine covers.Well that was unexpected.

Yea pretty fucked up, I hope the warranty doesn't find any excuse not to cover it (it says timing chain/belt, cylinder head are covered under the powertrain)
But they will not approve the claim until they tear it down, which cost $270 out of my pocket.

Trade it in on a Lexus or if you can't afford a Toyota or Honda. VW still rated shit in Consumer Reports.

I love that VW, it's turbo , 6 speed and loads of fun.
But probable timing tensioner failure out of the blue that bent every valve not cool. Thank god for the warranty.

10yr/100,000 on the powertrain I believe
All the generic foreign cars like this Hyundai, your corolla/camery, Honda are all the same to me. Nothing real special.

I like fun cars with personality like mine, even though the top end is wrecked

I told you what the fuck it was Gumby. Maybe next time you'll listen closer.
one post? what ever happen to "1 post from THE TRUTH"? it was like you always had a net to fall into to in cases like this. Maybe a Geico BS internet Protection Plan? Cause that's what we really do
(than we call Flo at Progressive, hey girl hey) -

It's kind of fun watching this whole thing play out....well at least for us guys who don't have to shell out any money on it.Well that was unexpected.

So when do you get the final news and what has to be done and how much?
Oh how simple cars used to be, my first car a used 1965 Mustang, my 1978 Chevy C-10 straight 6 I could practically sit inside the engine compartment, a trip to the parts store and you were all set.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!
