Oh no sorry to hear that. You did the right thing by stopping. If you have the 1.8 turbo engine this happens too often. The oil pressure sending unit could be the problem, but most likely it is the oil pump. This engine has sludge buildup problem & VW is aware of it, so there is hope. VW issued this update awhile back....
Passat owners. 1998 through 2004:
VW has just made a warranty extension covering certain oil sludge repairs on
these models.
It is now covered for 8 years unlimited mileage and will reimburse for
repairs made because of this problem. See your local dealer or contact VOA for
more information.
Good luck, i hope this helps.
