Hey, thanks for the quick reply, really good help! That doesn't sound great, but I'm glad your car was running again in the end. Do you remember how much it cost you? And did you have any problems afterwards or was everything okay at once? I hope it won't be quite as bad for me... Thank you in advance!

Hey, no problem, I'm happy to help! Well, the costs were pretty high, I had to pay €1640 for the repair, but it took some time. But since then my VW Golf has been running smoothly again. No further problems have arisen, I hope it stays that way. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't get that bad for you. Stay brave!

Wow, you've left quite a bit behind! But I'm glad that you've been able to drive calmly again since then. I think I'll make an appointment with the mechanic tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't get just as bad for me. Thank you in any case for your help and input! Take care and have a safe journey!

Yes, you'd better do that, shavings in the engine oil are really no fun, better have your car taken to the workshop as soon as possible. Keep your fingers crossed

Hello, I drive a 2012 VW Golf and had similar symptoms. The warning lights for the engine and oil also came on and my whole car was making strange noises. It was as if something was shaking around in my engine section. The metal shavings in the oil actually indicate possible engine damage. It ended up being a serious problem for me, I had to have the whole engine taken apart. It wasn't an easy repair, but in the end everything ran smoothly again. So I would definitely recommend taking your car to a garage as soon as possible. Hope that helps. Have a safe journey!
