My volkswagen jetta 2011 seems to have misfire. It has a check engine light on. The car shakes when slow down and/or at stops. Vw certified mechanic tried changing the plugs, and cleaning the valves but nothing helped. He also tied shaft crank sensor that did not help either. Finally the diagnosis report indicated that it's timing chain issue that need to be replaced.

Purchased 2011 vw jetta car recently for my daughter. It drove ok for a short while but then lost power while driving. First the radio turned off, then several lights turned on on the dash and the steering became hard. Finally the car turned off. I managed to pull off the freeway. After this, it would not start. We tested the battery but it was not the problem. Replaced the alternator but that also did not work. Now…

While on an out of state road trip. We stopped at a fuel station and smelled a really strong diesel smell. Thinking there was just diesel spill at the fuel station we continued on our way on the interstate. Approx. 30 miles later down the interstate our glow plug light started to blink, which indicated a problem with the engine. We went to the nearest exit and stopped the car. When we got out the diesel smell was…
