At 73k I had the check engine light came on and I'm told its 5000 tho repair. The oil pump bolt is the problem....why hasn't VW claimed responsibility for this

problem #1

Passat Sedan 2.0t Fsi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 99,108 miles

so my cam timing chain broke when i was driving this piece of crap and it happened when i took off to go around a corner and the car died on me. but i didn't find that out till the mechanic i took it to took apart the motor on top and saw that the chain was broken. he has had my car for a week now and cant seem to get the timing just right so i told him just to get it running and driving so i can baby it till 2012 income tax and then i getting rid of this piece of crap. i have had so many problems with this car since i got it and it has been in the shop every other week since i got it and now my mechanic said the oil pressure light is coming on and the motor was poorly taken care of and it had a crap load of sludge in it.
