HELP! Where Can I Find A Trusted Skoda/volkswagen Mechanic? by mitchyy(f): 8:41am On Mar 31, 2015
Hello guys,

I recently got a Skoda fabia 2007 from a Nairaland seller. Its been one issue or another. I won't say I regret it but I've decided to tackle the issues. Recently, the car jerks almost every minute. If I step on the brake to the end and then want to accelerate, it'll stop accelerating and just be crawling and jerking. Sometimes when I step on brake and accelerate, the engine will turn off.
I've been to autocare shops and the car was scanned for issues. I've spent a lot to buy a new fuel pump, injector cleaner, service the nozzle, clean the exhaust, top up the oil and even clean the spark plugs.
But its getting worse. I'm really fed up and need a specialist on Skoda cars in Lagos, preferably on the island to help me fix it.

Sorry for all d stress Madam, I know one guy at Itire Surulere, his name is Professor, he rescued me when my volkswagen polo wanted to take my life. He is damn good. I am not sure I have his number again but I will still check. Just go to Itire mechanic village and ask of Professor, he will sort it out. He has competent guys working with him. So sorry

I thought of going there but I'm so scared of their charges, given the fact that I've spent so much already

They didn't give me fault codes. They just came with a quote and asked me to buy new set of coils, spark plugs, service the throttle body, nozzle and buy new fuel pump. I've done that already sad

Go back to who ever ran the scan for you and tell him or her that you need the fault codes. A trial by errror won't be of any help

I did it when I was in Delta. Now I'm back to Lagos. Maybe i'll just buy a scanner and post the scan codes here. This is really frustrating...
Re: HELP! Where Can I Find A Trusted Skoda/volkswagen Mechanic? by oktawian(m): 10:09am On Apr 03, 2015
First, scan the car one more time for error codes . Put the codes here. DO NOT BUY ANY NEW PARTS !
After we verify thoe code , we can have an idea what i wrong with it.

Cos i can see that they already fix typical set of kazaam's try and error list...

"fuel pump, injector cleaner, service the nozzle, clean the exhaust, top up the oil and even clean the spark plugs."

We managed it. When you're on the highway, you rarely apply brakes unless you meet a pothole or sth. We couldn't leave it in delta

Disconnect your air-flow meter.
..Like magic..
Re: HELP! Where Can I Find A Trusted Skoda/volkswagen Mechanic? by oktawian(m): 9:57am On Apr 05, 2015
yes ? and then what ?

Just scan your car and on the base on errors that it will show , simply fix the car.

I picked up the thread from a search and contacted Jasinto. I personally feel he is the most arrogant, proud worthless Piece of cow dung in the grazing field.

He lacks customer service and he is of the opinion that he is a favour giver not service provided. I interacted with him for two days and ended telling him off because he felt giving me an early morning appointment was something i should thank God for.

If you are a high networth individual or middle class elite pls avoid him. He is best suited for garage touts!!

This is my personal feedback

@freshfish, pls what did this jasinto guy do to you, because I know the guy personally and he's a very down to earth person.
Re: HELP! Where Can I Find A Trusted Skoda/volkswagen Mechanic? by jasinto: 7:47am On Dec 11, 2016
@Freshfish, thank God your feedback and assessment are personal. I have dealt with a lot of people, you are the one that's arrogant. I don't see reason why I can't complain about you changing an appointment without due consultation.

Check yourself, you are the one who's got attitude.

Their charges are too high, but the problem will be solved. Most times, they even call an outside mechanic to fix issues for them. I pray you get a good mechanic outside the VW center.
