“My car shut down while I was driving the car had fuel and wasn't able to register there was fuel in the car and was told it was the throttle body and that my converter went bad. It had all the signs of a fuel component problem. I am told the converter and throttle body damage can be directly from the fuel pump issues.”
NHTSA complaint #11102476, filed 2018-06, 112,000 miles“I have taken my car to vw service department 5 times since 3/23/18 for an engine light problem.

If it had been at night, im not sure I would hve made it. The problem turned out to be n205 valve. It is a know problem that there is a screen that can fall apart and block the valve from moving oil to the cam shaft. Causing the timing to move and cause catastrophic engine failure.
