My vehicle threw a warning light " oil pressure, please shut off car immediatley". once car was shut off it never again started. Vehicle was taken to VW dealer in Arkansas and I was told the engine was blown and it would cost 7,600 to repair.

Parked car and went into the store to shop and approximately 10 minutes later someone said a car was on fire and that it was a silver VW. My husband went out and found the whole front end engulfed in flames.
