I kept car well maintained. One day I was on the freeway, red oil light came on and it said to shut down the engine. By the time that I had pulled off to the side of the road it went into low power mode, and then shut off. This was all in under a minute and a half. When I took it into the dealer they said I must not have been changing the oil because the oil is black and has metal in it, and it would not start. Had to get a new engine. Researching this, I think it is a timing chain issue, which can be catastrophic, and have been known to happen in VW. The only reason I had it repaired was that I still owe money on it.
