They are probably telling the truth this time and I would get it serviced but not at a dealership. They charge way too much. When a timing belt jumps a cog or two it is warning the belt may jump more cogs or just plain break and destroy the engine by allowing valves to be hit by pistons...ouch! I believe this is an "interference engine" and moving parts will collide and break. Jumping a cog will set a code and a check engine light because it can't run right with valves "being out of time". Lack of power. Drive it gently until it's fixed.

    I don't want to wreck the engine. It's a '12 Jetta SE. The red "low oil pressure light" came on, the warning tone sounded, and then the light went off again. It's about 13 miles to the dealer.
