Oil pressure error coming up; also oil in the coolant; Note, head gasket was just changed;
Car not idling well and not accelerating well at the moment

Add price please!

Still available? Only challenge is location, as I'm in Lagos. Would have liked to negotiate, inspect and buy.

Bought used but had it for just over 5 years now.

Did you buy brand new or used?

I have a used one I removed from my B6. It's a 6 CD loader. I just upgraded to android and the screen isn't bright due to heat/ sunlight effect.

Please what's the cost of changing VW jetta 2009 radio?

Mine is bad.

Good morning, boss and fellow members. Please I have a Passat B6 and recently noticed serious vibrations when I'm on speeds around 90kmh. The vibration stops when I drop speeds to under 75kmh. The problem still persists and recently started hearing some clunking noise from the wheels area. My mechanic also test drove the car and advised changing one of the shocks, both brake discs and also the shafts. I have also recently done a balancing and alignment and rotated my tyres, still same. Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi bro, how far with this your car, were you able to easily resolve the issue? My mechanic wants to sell one to me at a fairly cheap price. No issues with the car apart from the shaft i would repair.
Some people have said i should not buy it due to Passat having electrical issues and always needing to be scanned. I was searching the internet to see if i can get complaints from people and then came across your post. I would like to hear from you because i am already in love with that car. It was love at first sight.

Bro, the car makes sense!!! I am thoroughly enjoying it but be wary as it will not do to leave error codes unchecked for too long - always get a scan before fixing anything electronic. Find a good vw mechanic and you'll have no challenges. best wishes
