I have a 2003 vw passat 1.8T. It puttered out while driving. Lost all oil through somewhere. Oil was underneath, on top of engine and inside of passenger wheel. Will not turn over now.
Added more oil to it and could not
detect a leak anywhere. When trying
to start it it makes a whining sound
like it wants to start but won't kick
over. My neighbor suggested the
timing chain might have went. It has
117000 miles. No issues before this.
Could it be somthing else or if it is
the timing chain is it worth fixing? I
am hesitant on bringing anywhere to
have to pay for them to just start
tearing into the engine
