Hi

New to this site, but wondered if I could ask anyone for some much needed advice?

I have a 02 TT quattro, with about 45k miles on the clock, which, until this week, has been running fine.

I was on the motor way, driving fine, when I noticed the engine sounded deeper, more deisel like, so I slowed down when the oil light appeared. At that point I pulled off to the hard shoulder when the engine cut out and wouldn't restart, even with a jump start. A friends diagnosis is that one of the twin cam's is not firing and is a huge 'labour' job at the garage just to strip the engine down to diagnose the fault.

Just wondered if anyone has an opionion on what the 'worst', 'best' case senario is!?

Thanks for your help

Tom
