Jetta shut off while driving after putting in too much oil
My 2008 Jetta was bone dry. No oil. Put 2
quarts in. Then later that night, someone
put 5 quarts in, because the dipstick was
barely showing any oil. I drove it an hour
later. Oil light starts flashing and beeping.
Pulled over to inspect. Sounded like a
tornado was under the hood. Let it rest for
a min. Made it to an Auto Zone. They
hooked up the code reader and it came
back saying misfire number 1, coolant
temp sensor and too much oil. I drive 5
minutes and car shut off while I was doing
55. Towed it home. Changed all plugs and
wires, coil packs, drained half the oil.
Does a 2008 Jetta have a "system
shutdown" sensor? Someone said they
might. If not, what could it be?
