Car Talk / Re: Is This VW Passat CC A Good Buy ? by felix55(m): 7:34am On Sep 13
If u have one that give u headache via bad sensor, I will buy it.
But if mechanic and electrical people have mess with the connections by bypassing it & flashing and disable some functions in the ECU... I won't buy it. Volkswagen s very good if u know how to read ohms , resistors & voltage..handle ur multiple meter very well.
I don't see y people always complain about the car.
It has so many safety sensors features which if one spoil or malfunction...
Just read and fix it..
Stop bypassing...
90% Nigeria mechanic or electronic are not upto to really diagnosis such car.
Pls stop the hate about the car...

valarinz:


The one I imported once, clean title, within the few months it stayed before it was sold, I spent over 70% of the import value repairing one electrical gremlin or the other and the person you are recommending handled majority of the fixes

I won't say with full authority that they're all bad cars but my personal experience was terrible and it's not for lack of trying. I visited all the recommended big names in their mechanic village and yet at the end it came to recommendation on engine conversion

Sold the car "as is" at over 50% loss eventually
If u import cheap, I will like to buy from u.. that's the ones with bad sensor..

Car Talk / Re: Passat 2006 FSI 2.0 by felix55(m): 10:29pm On Jul 21
Ayodaygee:
Hmmm...about 3 people have said walk away.

It's for a reason.

And it's for that reason of "peace of mind" that folks here do Honda or Toyota. Dont try to be different...its not worth it.

Now why?

The Passat 2006 also called B6 came at a period Volkswagen (vw) decided to go electronic on many things.

The B6 has electronic parking brakes, electrical power steering and so many more components. All these electrical stuffs fail often and are an headache to replace in Naija.

More so, any vw expert knows vw do not do great auto transmissions. So forget having a reliable suto transmission in any Naija used version.

Another headache is the FSI engine. The Fuel Stratified Injection technology came with many flaws especially when it has clocked many miles.

Well, if you must do a b6 passat, go:

* manual transmission
* N/A engine - 3.6l v6 inmotion engine, 2.5l 5 cylinder engine
* Toks not Naija used.

All the best bro......
Volkswagen Passat is a nice car to have if u r into tech & security.
I HV one and am enjoying it more than Toyota.
Is Tru s full of sensors like.. brake pad sensor,sterling sensor,parking sensors, EPC & ETC..
When buying that Passat, b very careful not to buy the one with tempered wire ..
Some Volkswagen mechanic doesn't know what they r doing.
Make sure u HV vcds VAG obd2 scanner.
Am enjoying my very well . No trouble at all..

Hello house, Please I need good recommendations. I want a VW B6 Passat. I am also liking the A5 Jetta. 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

Sensor s not good to buy used. When buying sensor, make sure u bought original OEM parts with Nos.
Una always buy used sensors forgetting that ohms & voltage laws can't be cheated..

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
