His VS has about 190,000k's.It recently had problems with the tapets forever making a noise,a mechanic said one of the, might have **** itself.Today his car over-heated,lost all power and cut out.I got a call and found him with his bonnet up.I had a short look and found out the engine oil dip-stick was dry.He said it was full earlier that day so we called his gf and came with oil.I sent him home in my car so he could get to work,i filled up the engine and topped up the water again.I started it and the motor sounded awful but settled alittle.I tryed to drive but less then 50metres later i pulled over coz of the smoke out the back,the oil went straight to the exhaust.This motor is ****ed big time
