I have a VW 2002 disel beetle and this afternoon I was driving out of a parking lot and as I change to third gear from second the speed excelerated in only a few seconds up for 80-90 km/hour by itself. The rpms were all the way up to 5 and past 5. I put the car into neutral and put the breaks on and the rpms were still up very high and the car was filled with smoke aswell as the outside of the car and then a shut off the car. My engine did not start anymore and I had to get it towed from an intersection to my house.
Since 2012, I got the heater fixed, all brakes routers, etc, I got 3 glow plugs replaced but the 4th one was seized and I didn't have enough money at the time so therefore the check engine time stayed on, and I got a new battery about 3 weeks ago when the origional died on me. My plan was to sell it next month but I did not make it there. I have an idea of what is wrong becuase if any standard car was excelorating their maximum rpms in third gear and going 90km an hour the engine probabl blew up per say. Please help!
