delaw4u: Hello house
I have 03 vw passat,1.8turbo engine,automatic transmission

The gear one is slow to move please what should I check to correct this other people that I contacted says that how the car is been built please I want confirmation from you all
Thanks

Siena:

Again, as I always advice people...get the drivetrain scanned, rather than ask for remote guesswork. That's what the OBD port's for.

fsb:

Dear Mr Siena, please any word on my post?

fsb: Dear Mr Siena,

Good morning, I have issues with transmission slippage on my vw jetta. See details below:
01) Make. Vw
02) Model. Jetta
03) Engine size. 1.6L
04) Transmission type. Automatic
05) Model year. 2006
06) Spec (Euro or US). US
07) Drive configuration. not sure of what this means yet
My car has the following issues:

1 . All gears are selected in the instrument panel (I guess that means it is in limp mode. Why it is in limp mode is what I don't understand)

2. Other signs: vehicle occasionally jerks quite violently when the reverse gear especially is selected from 'P' position. The drive is also jerky also occasionally especially during gear change. Most times, the car will change gears seamlessly but with deceleration to a complete stop, accelerating is unusually prolonged. Seems the engine power for some reason isn't been transmitted to the wheels. There is also the occasional high engine revs (loss of gear).

While one auto mechanic recommended a change of gear oil, another recommended changing the gear box altogether. So a little confused about the way forward...

I bought a VAG cable and scanned all systems myself. Got the following results for the transmission
After scanning the transmission, I had the following error codes:

17118 - Gear 4
P0734 - 003 -Incorrect Ratio - Intermittent

01192 - Torque Converter Lock-up Clutch
003 - Mechanical Failure - Intermittent

what do you advise? The link below links to a document with entire scan results for the car.

smartchoice: @Siena I asked for your view on Audi 1.8/2.0 2000 to 2005 preferably a quatrro as a daily transport car sir.

smartchoice: Based upon Nigerian mechanic's poor knowledge of modern engines, you recommend the Audi A4 B6 2.0 I4 20V?

Siena:

Yes, I do.

IdaraCHODB:

I know you can get wiring diagrams.

Not sure you can get them in CD format.

For which application? for just one vehicle? or for multiple vehicles? If i know i can advise you better

fashrules: hi everyone. is it advisable to get an audi A6 or A8 2000-2003 car for use here in nigeria? i have fears that it might be hard to maintain, mechanics might have issues working on it etc.
@siena do you think its a great german car to use here in nigeria considering all factors?

Siena:

I'm sure there are Audi A6 and A8 cruising the streets of Nigeria, and their owners obviously get them serviced and looked after. As long as you don't patronise roadside mechanics who don't know one end of a spanner from the other, and use REPUTABLE garages, you'll be fine. It's when owners skimp, become penny-pinching and use non-pqualified personnel, that problems start.

You've gotta pay to play. Use Oyewoles and other bodgers, and you'll end up with expensive damage, heart-stopping bills, and your bank account will drain faster than a ruptured Kainji Dam.

smartchoice: why Oyewoles and not Chukwudi's and Tafida's?

Siena:

Because Oyewole's is what came to mind. It had to be one or the other - there are probably more than 50 different terms for roadies, would you rather I listed all of them?

Please don't apply a tribal slant, where none exist.

Siena:

Volkswagen Golf III 1.8L.

Sounds like your auto tranny has damage to the valve body / chest. Though the most likely cause of delayed upshifts is incorrect fluid level, or incorrect fluid grade.

When your mechanic fixed your transmission oil pan, did he do a drain (of what was left of the fluid) and refill? If yes, what fluid did he use, and was the transmission oil filter / strainer replaced at the same time?

Siena:

Based upon Nigerian mechanic's poor knowledge of modern engines, I would recommend the Audi A4 B6 2.0 I4 20V.

The 1.8 models are all turbocharged, so maintaining the fragile KKK-03/S turbo in Nigeria may be a challenge. Not recommended. The 2.0 version comes in 2 models:

2.0 I4 DOHC 20V (130 hp).
2.0 I4 DOHC 16V (150 hp).

The 150 hp version is an FSI engine, so we're talking direct injection gasoline. Not an engine for the average mechanic to work on, the fuel pump is unique to the FSI, runs very high pressure (almost as high as a diesel's!). If it needs to be replaced, it will have to be from the same car, i.e an FSI model. The injectors are also pretty complex, and unique to the B6 A4 FSI.

The 130 hp version is a conventional indirect injection engine. It is the equivalent of the 1.8T, just 200cc's larger, and no turbo. Easier to work on as well. This engine is shared with the Volkswagen Passat B5/5.5 (engine code ALT).

If you're set on a Quattro (AWD) model, you won't find this in a 2.0. Quattro models were:

1.8T 150 hp.
1.8T 163 hp.
1.8T 190 hp.
3.0 V6 220 hp.

If you're also hell bent on buying from North America, the only models they got were the 1.8T in FWD and Quattro, and the 3.0 V6 in Quattro only. Available as automatic, tiptronic and manual.
