Car: 02 Jetta automatic
Strike 1 - Idler frozen towed to shop replaced ran fine 200 miles
Strike 2 - Tensioner spring tab broke belt got loose but I cuaght it in time
Back on the tow truck. Replace belt with new continental kit. Ran fine
170 miles.
Strike 3 - Car died at 70mph, this time I was not lucky. The idler bolt broke
the belt jumped. I towed the vehicle off the expressway and had it towed
to the shop again. This time new valves, lifters belt and oem bolt.
Currently the car will not rev. When warm it will rev in park but not while
in gear. Me and the mechanic are at a loss. We ruled out fuel obstructions
in the tank and filter. Car starts right up and there are no known vacuum leaks.
Intake and exhaust are clean and clear. No codes being thrown.
Please help, got a lot of money in parts and labor and still no car. This is
my second attempt at this post so if you see a dup....sorry.
Thanks in advance.
