Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE UNTIL FEB 2018 AFTER I GET IT BACK FROM GETTING THE SUSPENSION REDONE. AFTER DRIVING IT 20 MILES MY CAR STOPS RUNNING AS I AM DRIVING THROUGH A MAJOR ROAD LEAVING THE MILITARY BASE. I GET IT TOWED TO THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATE THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAD FAILED (AFTER 2 MONTHS OF FIXING MY REGULAR FUEL PUMP) CAUSING THE ENGINE TO LOOSE COMPRESSION AND NOW THEY SAID I NEED TO POUR IN A NEW ENGINE AND NEW HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND A TURBO THAT WAS SCRAPING METAL SHAVINGS INTO MY ENGINE AS WELL.
