When getting off highway while at light my car sputtered and stalled. The car would not restart and I had to have towed. The right side cylinder head had to be replaced at a cost of over $4000. Vw is replacing the left side under warranty for 10 years but not the right side for some reason so I have to pay. There have been many problems with this engine and I have only 89000 miles. The engine in the vw is a Chrysler 3. 6 liter pentastar. While fixing that it was found that the oil filter housing unit was leaking and needed to be replaced.
