OK yesterday was a really cold day here. I started my car no problem...and drove off..made it on the highway and my gas pedal was stuck to the floor. couldn't slow down..got scared put it in neutral for a split second and car revved right up so jammed it back in gear ASAP. and then had to shut it off and coast to a stop.
got that issues resolved was just water in the throttle cable lien that froze. all is fixed there.
but today...my oil light came on...so I checked my oil was a tad low..toped it up...and light was off. but came back later...seams to come on when at idle and I noticed real fast that it looks like I got oil on the front of my block. temps runs fine car runs great. haven;to had a chance to check oil level but seams to be fine now. could I of damaged my oil pump maybe by over revving by mistake when the gas was stuck on? I'm guessing it was about 9-10 000 RPM way over red line... I know a fair amount about cars and do allot of my own work...but never on a jetta.
need advice where to start looking? car has 234 000 KM and always had synthetic oil it runs perfect before yesterday...but now sound like it may have a loud tick....
please help
