In my 20+ years of driving I've had to have work done on my car, even towed from my home...
But this is a first in "sputter, sputter, pull over on the highway, wont start"
Ugh..
Called my insurance company, used the roadside assistance. Which hung up on me..5 times (yay Progressive)
Asked if I was staying with the car or leaving the keys in it, my wife was on the way and its 25° degrees out so I told them I was leaving but would leave the key in the center console.
Freaks me out. My cars out on a major highway, unlocked with the keys in it. Left it around 9:30 and its midnight and the update thing still says its sitting their (thank god I didn't wait)
Cost me $150 for the tow and having it dropped at the dealer. Not to sure how that exactly works, guess I call them first thing in the morning and let them know my cars there (keys still in it?) I went to the dealers web page and didnt see an option for this situation so just set up an appt. via the website for the earliest time, tries to explain the situation in the "Reason for drop off" section.
Last thing I need also..
Just spent close to 5 grand on new flooring plus the holidays just passed, was in a recouping money stage of the year.
Have no idea exactly what it is and but feel its gonna be expensive as fuck kost likely.
It's a 2015 Volkswagen GTI and the EPC & Check engine light came on.
Engines cranking but not turning over.
Had my OBD II on me and popped it on as I was waiting for my wife. Gave it a quick scan and came up with..
1. code P2251 means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a negative current discrepancy in the upstream oxygen (O2) sensor for engine bank number one. Bank one is the engine bank that contains the number one cylinder. Sensor 1 denotes the upstream (pre-cat) sensor.
2. 3 codes for misfires (Cyl 1, 2 and 3)
3. Basic code that says- Your cylinders are misfiring.
I'm not tech savvy when it comes to cars but have a bad feeling this is gonna cost me and be a huge kick in the balls.
Sorry for venting, very stressed about this. I commute a lot, so I need my car asap. Stressed it's just 'sitting there'. Stressed I'm about to get wallet raped fixing it at the worse possible time.
