Was driving down a hill and started hearing a loud clanking noise. Had check the oil the day before and was right where it was suppose to be. Pulled over when we heard the noise and checked the oil and was completely bone dry and had to add 7 quarts. Got about 10 miles and the car completely shut off. Mechanic had checked what was wrong and it had thrown a piston rod.

My 2003 tb has clicking noise and the check engine light has came on several times, about 2 or three years ago the cam sensor had to be replaced, sometimes the car will shake or rough idle. I took it to get the check engine light serviced and they said they had to order parts, after the parts did not come in, after almost a week I took my car home for the weekend. No one ever call about the parts coming in, so I called about 2 1/2 weeks later and they said the parts were in, it had been aprox. 35 days from the first visit. When I took it back I expected the car to be in the shop just a few hours to put the parts in. I checked on the car later in the day and they said they needed to keep it because it was showing a service code p0014, and they wanted to make sure that the parts ordered would fix the problem. , because some newer tb's needed a new motor when showing that p0014 code. Has any one had this problem?.
