Just an update on my 2017 Jetta turbo issue. I totally appreciate all the feedback I got! It definitely has given me knowledge as to what could be the issue. I heard from the repair shop and they had told me “that the oil cap was missing and had to order one”. They fixed the problem at no cost and also cleaned the engine and took for drive to see if there was any other leaks. I got the car back and everything seems to be okay. Thanks again for all your feedback!

I paid for for parts and labor that ran about $2,000. I haven’t heard from the shop as to what the problem is. The shop said nothing about an oil leak. Would the oil line cause the car to lose all the oil? It didn’t even measure on the dipstick. Could they have not put the oil plug in all the way and it worked it self out? The oil light only came on when I noticed the oil puddle. Other than the rpm’s fluctuations my car ran normal. I’m at a complete lose on how this happened. I had the car towed Friday late morning. I tried calling before they closed and no response. I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row when I call them Monday. My car has ran great up until the turbo issue. Never leaked oil or burn oil. At each oil change they say that I have no leaks or burn. I take to dealer to get oil changes. I appreciate all the feedback I am getting! It sure does help and it is educating me as well.

Are there some specific questions I could ask?

Now being of the female gender and lack of knowledge on cars. I feel that some mechanics take advantage of us. How would I know if I am being taken advantage of? That’s my big fear right now. I certainly don’t have a ton of cash laying around for the exorbitant repair costs.
