Right now our 2010 Jetta TDI with 85k miles on it is at the dealer. On the coldest day - 5 degs F my wife was merging on a highway at 6am. She stalled it. It wouldn't restart. she had to walk to a gas station to make the call to the towing co. We call them ramp trucks or flat beds here

I ran the codes and got 3 codes. 2 low fuel rail pressures and one crank sensor code. I had it towed to the dealer. They called and said the motor has no compression. I can't believe the ****** motor blew up pulling away from a stop sign. I can only think of 2 reasons that would happen. Blow timing belt or ingesting water. I asked them about both things and they said the timing belt is fine. They are going to do more investigating.

This is the second time that car has left us stranded. I love VW's but the last 2 Jettas that we have owned have been the biggest most unreliable POS.

I think I am done with VW
