Hello people!

I have this Passat cc (2010) that I parked for almost a year. The car has refused to start. My electrician has been on it for almost four months without tangible results.

Pls i need a very good Volkswagen electrician that can gaurantee me results. The car is in Abuja, but I'm ready to pay for an electrician to come from any part of the country.

Pls guys recommend someone urgently. I'm almost becoming frustrated. Thanks guys.....
Hello, so sorry about your experience. The mechanic that works on my 2011 cc here in Abuja should be able to help out.
His name is Yaro and you can reach him on 0706 853 0068

Sir, on our last discussion
The transmission fluid was changed but the issue still persists. Have run out of options. No error was detected when the vehicle was scan. Thanks
Can you take the car to Gbagada where the MOT testing centre is (Close to TREM) and ask for Isiaka?His number is 0806 021 8923.
He should be able to help with the scanning and repairs (if necessary).

Thank you for ur immediate response
1. Malfunction transmission switch error.
The mechanic change the switch and clear the errror
2. It’s been long the fluid and filter was change.
It may just be time to change the transmission fluid and filter on your Audi since you mentioned the transmission position sensor has been replaced. Though I feel that should have sorted out the issue.
I am also concerned that the mechanic who worked on your vehicle did not check the condition of the transmission fluid and filter on your vehicle before even changing the sensor.

hello house, please i need advice and someone who can help me fix my audi A4 2002 auoimatic
issues are,(1) all the PRND lit up and the car jerk when shifting gear to drive. (2) Auto transmission loses drive when the car have moved for about 5-10 mins.
i took the car for diagnosis and the first issue was solved but the second issue still remain. what can be the cause of this?
thanks
Just a few questions:

1. What error codes were displayed after the scan?
2. How recently have you changed the transmission fluid and filter?
Car TalkRe: The Audi And Volkswagen Issues Resolution Thread by redleich(m): 8:51pm On May 05, 2019
I have used two VWs back to back; A 2006 Golf with DSG and presently a 2011 CC 2.0 T with DSG
I can confidently tell you that these vehicles don't pose any threats. However, you must treat them like a girlfriend as they constantly demand good maintenance.
Oil changes should be synthetic oil, not any regular oil.
Water pump, timing chain/belts, tensioners and oil separator should be replaced after 100,000km
If your vehicle has a turbocharger, you need to use an octane booster before every refuel to prevent carbon buildup and costly damages to your engine.
Don't use water in your overflow tank, as this would harm your radiator and engine. Rather look for the VW G13 pink coloured" coolant and use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant. This not only keeps your engine properly cooled but also prevents overheating during those very hot days and lengthy hours spent in traffic.
Lastly, ensure your mechanic is recommended by another VW user as there are so many fraudsters out there
Best of luck!

Someone wants to sell Passat 09 model. The car has no issues at the moment. I want to find out if its an easy car i can use in respect of spare parts and mechanics apart from the issue of having to scan it for faults.
Is any one using that car here? Share your sorrows, frustrations or joy here plz.

Hello House, please I need an advise and as well someone who can help check my VW Passat 2007.
The issue is that all gears on dashboard lit up as soon as I start the car. Now I noticed that gear misbehaves in such that it will only be on 3rd gear and sluggish while driving.

Please I need help.

Here is my contact, 09020116816 kindly add me to the WhatsApp group chat
If what you are looking for is to reset the DSG gearbox into "Learning Mode"?


This should reset the DSG to learn mode.

Turn the ignition on, without starting the engine.
Fully depress and hold the accelerator in that position for about 10 seconds (You may hear/feel a click)
Release the accelerator and turn off the ignition. (Job done)
Now take it for a drive, driving as is your normal driving style and the box will relearn your driving style.
CrimeRe: Lady Who Lured Man She Met On Facebook, Arranged For Him To Be Robbed Arrested by redleich(m): 8:31pm On May 05, 2019
unclexofficial:
A lady who lured a man she met on Facebook and arranged for him to be robbed, has been arrested by the police after the incident was reported. The lady identified as 27-year-old Ogochukwu Onourah of Ilongodo, Ogidi in Idemili North LGA of Anambra State, who lured her male Facebook friend, Emerole Ikechukwu, from Imo state to Ogidi was arrested shortly after she arranged for him to be robbed.

The robbery victim who reported at the Ogidi Police Station, said she directed a bike man who picked him and took him to the bush where was robbed at gunpoint of his money cash sum of Seven thousand Naira (#7000), his ATM card where another sum of Ten thousand Naira (#10:000) was withdrawn and other valuables.

It was gathered that after the complaint, Police detectives attached to Ogidi Division traced and arrested one Abuchi Mba aged 23 years of Ikenga Ogidi and recovered Ikechukwu's bag containing his clothes from him. Ogochukwu was also arrested after discreet investigation. While the police are still working to arrest other fleeing accomplices, the suspects who have already confessed to the crime will soon be charged to court.

Go to Gudu ask for VW DSG oil and DSG Filter. Its recommended to change them every 40,000mile interval. Forget the crap VW/Audi sells as lifetime fluid.
And oh one more thing, don't change them when Hot, pls ensure the car is cool before attempting the ATF drain refill procedure.
Reason I do not do DSG is simply because I don't have VAG high pressure atf refill pump.

Now feel free to scream Gosh I asked a tonne of questions tongue tongue. grin grin
shocked shocked shocked Lol. Thanks a lot! please could you share your number with me?

RomanceRe: Guys Can You Cook & Clean For Your Girlfriends? by redleich(m): 4:41pm On Jun 26, 2012
2buff: Can't people read? The topic is about girlfriends. Answer if you can clean and wash for your girlfriends (g string et al) and stop answering the one no body asked so you can get thumbs up from women.
Seems u be minor, hence your manner of discourse and obvious reactions to responses!!!
Try not to trivialise issues and keep and open mind for constructive arguements.
Here no be anybody Papa house or towns meeting so why should anyone want to be a crowd pleaser?
RomanceRe: Guys Can You Cook & Clean For Your Girlfriends? by redleich(m): 4:34pm On Jun 26, 2012
2buff: I think you're speaking from a husband wife perspective. In which case, there's no point not doing it.
The topic I think is mostly focused on boyfriend girlfriend. Especially driving to her house to clean and wash etc.
Oga 2Buff most men are not taught the need for domestic-ation[permit me to use that word] by their mothers when growing up. They think washing, cleaning up and cooking is a woman's job. Please show me which manual of being a man emphasises that he should not do all these.
Again whatever negative or positive trait a man exhibits when single is the same he will portray in his own home weda na for babe, concubine or wife.
If you have an oportunity to make her smile by helping out why not, afterall it doesn't take anything from you!!!!1

smh
RomanceRe: Guys Can You Cook & Clean For Your Girlfriends? by redleich(m): 4:27pm On Jun 25, 2012
Let me emphasize here that a man doing domestic chores around the house for his woman does not show weakness, rather it goes a long way to demonstrate the affection and care he has towards her.
That doesn't mean a woman's role around the house has been taken over, but he is willing to help out every now and then.
For me cooking is something i have a flair for, so whether woman dey or not o, if i wanna cook what i feel like eating i go for it!!!

I wouldnt like to use the word "RULES"rather a few guidelines so each party involved knows wat puts the other off.
It may come as a surprise to many, how trivial issues which were not handled or discussed about in the earlier part of the relationship could eventually lead to a breakup.
