The Presidential Elections are a thing of the past now. Everybody is entitled to his or her opinion. No Hero is Hero to all. What she feels is really of no importance.what matters now is the future we shall have with the new president.

Some time ago. I Pointed out, it's not the man we should be wary of. Its the cabal behind him,we should fear. We speak of change change. AIT through a sponsored documentary has just brought to light certain issues about a prominent and highly influential member of the cabal in the "Change" party. We as voters should be more concerned about the truthfulness in this expose. Not attack the station. Lets not end up making our situation in Nigeria worse than it is. We need an improvement obviously but who will make this happen?

Get upset, yes. Refuse to speak to you for a while, yes. Even report you to your pastor or folks, yes. But pack out over an sms chat, unless it was a sex video , there are better ways to punish you. Shouldn't be so quick to leave her home. What would that really achieve?

PoliticsRe: Nigeria Will Be In Trouble If PDP Wins- Buhari by batista73: 6:17am On Jan 11, 2015
when you are sick, the drug you take could worsen your situation instead of making it better. Its clear we need a better government but are we so sure it's Buhari that will make it better. We all say GMB. But Nigeria has never been ruled by one man rather cartels. who are the people' behind him? What are their real intentions? What is the Grand plan? PDP, APC.? Just different abbreviations for the same kind of human beings.

Frustration can make you spill out statements that are unfathomable. Most people will feel that way but not utter it.

Siena: I can certainly supply a brand new valve body from Volkswagen.

As for a reliable mechanic, I supplied a Nairalander with a valve body for her 2006 Jetta 2.5 which was fitted by her mechanic. The car is running great, I'll contact her for details of her mechanic, who seems well versed in Audi and Volkswagen.
Thanks pls forward me details of cost and contact by mail. Thanks a lot @siena
Car TalkRe: Automatic Gear Box For 2008 Volkswagen Passat Fsi Needed !! by batista73(op): 12:36pm On Sep 07, 2013
Siena: Your mechanic isn't being straight with you.

The N97 solenoid valve is what controls the shift pressure, and it's not available as a seperate item. You need the complete valve body. The rest of your transmission will be fine, a faulty N97 solenoid does not "affect the fibres."

"Some components"? I bet your mechanic doesn't know what those other components are, hence his vague reference!

You could very well buy a complete transmission (the correct one for your car) but there are no guarantees it'll be in good shape. You can't test it till it's been fitted to the car, and even then, you can only see it's working at the time it was fitted. Not how long it'll last. The valve body is the major component, the core unit of your transmission. It is also the major part really prone to failure. The rest of the transmission is pretty robust.

My advice would be to replace the valve body with a new (not used) unit. You'll be saving yourself a bundle in the long run. And while it's all apart, have a new (not used) filter fitted, and then the transmission filled with genuine Volkswagen transmission fluid. It won't tolerate the regular red Dexron ATF or ABRO stuff, and is one of the principal causes of transmission failure - running the wrong fluid.
Thanks a lot @siena
Can you help with a new valve body..how much it would cost to get to me and if you have a reliable mechanic I can use. The problem is I live in portharcourt and not many experienced mechanics for the car. I would appreciate your help.
Car TalkRe: Automatic Gear Box For 2008 Volkswagen Passat Fsi Needed !! by batista73(op): 10:48am On Sep 07, 2013
Siena: What's wrong with the current transmission? What symptoms are you getting? Because I doubt the whole transmission is shot.
@siena
My mechanic confirmed valve body as bad and it has affected the fibres and some components. Advices a complete change of transmission. Hesitates and slams in gears 1 gng to 2, and 5 gng to 6 and does the same when slowing down. Need to get a verygood transmission that can replace this.

@siena
Pls.still awaiting your mail for price of a new valve body or gear vox. Thanks.
Car TalkRe: The Audi And Volkswagen Issues Resolution Thread by batista73: 2:36pm On Aug 11, 2013
Siena: The transmission in your car is way too young to require replacement. Before it was replaced, did your mechanic scan the drivetrain for fault codes? Because so far, I haven't come across transmission failure, not to the point of requiring replacement. N93 valve issues, due to neglected fluid and filter changes, but not dead transmission.

N93 failure will result in harsh and sometimes delayed shifts. I would be looking at this. N93 valve is integral with the valve body. I can supply a brand new valve body. Replacement does NOT require transmission removal.

Get it scanned, and report back here with fault codes, and we'll take things from there.
Thanks @siena
A scan done last week didnt come up with any codes or errors. But my mechanic actually talked about changing the valve body, however he said it would be difficult to get. Please what would it cost to get a new valve body. I would appreciate this if you could help me. My email is chukwuanugo73@yahoo.com. thanks

Pls I have a 2008 volkswagen passat fsi. Changing from 1 to 2 and returning back always gives a huge thud before changing. What is responsible? I have been asked to change the gear oil, done that. Still the same thing now its also occurring slightly from 5 to 6. What do I do? And if I have to change the gear box. Can you help?
