Hello all!
I'm dedicating this thread to owners of Audi and Volkswagen models. There would appear to be a gap in the Nigerian Auto Industry, with regards to correct repair, diagnosis, service and general maintenance of these cars. I would like to try addressing these issues, as much as I can remotely, from a distance. I don't promise to always get it right, I can but try. Of course, the more details you give, the better.
Please use the format as shown below:
01) Make. 02) Model. 03) Engine size. 04) Transmission type. 05) Model year. 06) Spec (Euro or US). 07) Drive configuration.

Hello, which Volkswagen Golf Rabbit 2.5 models used the Aisin gearbox? I know DSG has nothing to do with Aisin. I have a Rabbit 2.5 with what I believe is a gearbox designed by Aisin (6 speeds). Can anyone confirm or provide contrary information? |

Ayomipoe: Bosses in the house, I greet.
I want to ask if you can help me identify the year of the Passat.
The seller claims it's 2004 and that it is direct Belgium(I no believe)
Are these cars reliable daily drivers compared to a Golf 4? The seller is asking 1.7 for it ( Negotiation has not occurred, just his initial price) That car s 1998 to 1999 model . 2004 can never look like that . Price s ok but price down |

I have a Golf 5 Rabbit with a 2.5-liter engine, located in Abuja. It's available for inspection if you're in Abuja. The 2.5-liter engine is quite powerful.Note: AC is not working.

Please kindly advise which one I should go for considering maintenance, cost of purchase and engine. If there's any available one for sell also kindly inform. Both HV d same market value but b6 Passat look stronger than a5 Jetta... Compare a5 Jetta to Toyota Corolla while b6 Passat to Camry 2007 to 2010 model... When buying .. go wit obd2 scanner advance one.. Check gear, throttle, AC clutch, steering angle etc... advance obd2 scanner can achieve that for u. Avoid cut and join wire... Goodluck 1 Like |

Hello Fam, I am new here. But I love and drive German cars (specifically Vw and Audi). I have some concerns.
1. I need a very good vw/audi mechanic in PH, please will appreciate a recommendation and contact. 2. I have issue on my Audi a3 2007 2.0 TFSI, DSG gear. Here is the problem >> Car jerking issue. Work done so far >> Fuel pump changed (using Japanese pump), fuel rail sensor changed, spark plugs changed, injector nozzles cleaned, manifold was removed and cleaned in the process, fuel filter changed, valve cover gasket changed b/c of oil leakage to the plugs, Air filter cleaned, MAF sensor tried to change but didn't get a matching one at the moment.
The problem is still there, there were some improvement but still jerks at idling (can't cross rpm 4/5 without jerking), while driving can't press throttle (rpm) more than 3 without a strong drag. Car runs smoothly if not throttled hard, once throttled mildly, you will assume it has no issue at all.
This is all I could explain here (one error I am sure of is rail fuel pressure too low or something), some errors linking to manifold too.
Please help with suggestions and most importantly a good vw/audi mechanic in PH. I also drive a passsat 2.0 FSI turbo with it's own kind of issue. I hope to get a feedback soon.
Thanks fam |
