VWs

Pros and cons of this German machine? especially FSI and GTI.Is it advisable to buy them? I heard some models have gearbox issues.Am not quite sure which model.I have driven an FSI though and man the inside feel and its grasp on the road is just phenomenal.What am not sure about is the engine and its ability to survive our roads and conditions.My wife is in love and she wants to get one.

if the FSI blew you away, the GTI will make you cum but the gear box issues make most people wary though its a sweet ride

Are all models affected ama models manufactured in a particular year?

not sure if its model-specific, but the complaints have been around for so many years, hopefully the newer models have had it dealt with

Two of my neighbours have one dead each. Another can’t get his to change from gear 4 up. And they are pretty new cars…

The company should modifyy its DSG transmission technology already, they are pretty descent cars hot-hatchs and the only thing that is holding most people back is the gearbox.

Kweli.
One guy actually brought his to sell and make a quick buck. Sweet looking ride. Didn’t even make the drive from Coasto…

The Mark V Golf FSi had gearbox issues. That’s the 1600cc and 2000cc normal aspirated engines. I have owned 8 of them. It starts as a valve body issue which can be re engineered at a cost. You can buy re-engineered valve bodies online from the UK and have them shipped over. Then have them replaced very easily.

The TSi Golf - Turbo Engined, comes in 1400cc and 2000cc. There’s a supercharged version of the 1400cc which is dual charged, has both supercharger for low rev charging and a turbo charger for high rev charging. Brilliant fuel economy on this machine. The acceleration is also amazing. The only issue I have had with this model is when you fuel at a place with fishy gasoline, it experiences power loss. So you have to keep to genuine fuel stations and service when required.

@shoti_mzito alinunua VW juzi, aje atuambie kama ilifika Nbo ama iko chinda na gear box. Na hekaya ya pandy wearer ya MKU pia ikuje

The touareg does not experience transmission issues like the golf

how about its small brother the tiguan?

not heard of any issues, but only their day to day users can attest to this.

Ukinunua Golf tafuta ya petrol na uzoee Shell petrol station.
I.O.N niko na Golf Variant iko port nangoja number iingie J ukitaka nitakupatia na 1.25

sawa but mimi nilitaka kuanzia na golf ama polo for a first car ( to avoid toyota ama nissan) then tiguan itakuja later kama upgrade

Polo is a descent /practical car, I have a friend that bought his as a first car. He is doing hizi kazi za online writing and so far he has no issues with it for close to a year

Golf spares ziko juu kidogo,lakini kama una uzito unaweza. But they are more fuel efficient and enjoyable to drive. Tiguan Tuareg wachana nazo unless uko na uzito kabisa. Pia ukiona taa yeyote ya dashboard imewaka ya golf peleka mbio garage.

Ya kuendesha once once na pia ku impress madame ni poa. Lakini kama ni maerrands na biz all over town,Toyota ndio baba yao

naona vw zinakuwa more and more popular kenya so with time itakuwa rahisi kusort issues zake
