Guys,, I wonder if you guys have gone thru this b4, but I definitely have experienced this situation few days ago. It's like this...... I was heading back to School area from Toronto, and was going 120km on hwy.. when I was planning to pass the car in front of mine, so I did what you guys usually did and stepped on the gas, however, the rpm cannot go over 3k and i felt some strange sound and shaking gesture from the engine, then the engine light start coming out... and kept flashing.

I barely went back home and called the 24/7 roadside assistance immediately for arranging an appointment to tow my car to nearest dealership.

In the end, the tow truck came today and brought my car to the nearest dealership and checked out what the hell is going wrong.

At last, the engineering said the engine fu*ked up because the gasket has leaked some fuel into the engine and it makes the coilpack in the cyl. burn out.. although i duno what it means,, it kinda sucks cuz he said this problem happens from 04 1.8T till now.. and it still can't be fixed in the manufacturing process.
