Ok, this is a rhetorical question really.
I was driving peacefully yesterday, came to a stop sign, the car stalled and would not restart. A quick look towards the back...and there you have it. The car is a 2002 with less than 45k on it, never tracked etc etc. It is with my trusted mechanic at this time and I am now accepting PayPal donations.
And because I try to stay positive, you will notice that the car is well mannered and stopped right where she was supposed to, right on the "stop" marking on the road. Ah the irony... My faith in German engineering is a bit shaken right now (And yes, I read a bunch of threads on the topic...).

Dang kimosabe!.......sad state of affairs...I'd be interested to know what your trusted mechanic has to say about the issue.
Best of luck to you in the future and hope that you are back on the road, real soon.

Poor thing. You wore it out going up and down those SF hills.
Seriously, that is so sad to see. But let's hear what your mech. thinks. That just may be a failed seal, or gasket and not that serious.
Fingers crossed for you!
Sincerely,
Macster.

best of luck, but that does look bad. May want to start pricing used motors...
