Thanks for English but there's nothing wrong with speaking Swahili/Kiswahili as long as there are subtitles. That way you can appeal to a wider audience.
My brother CK has clearly thought this out... he is targeting the international forks as well. Its like watching an indian video with subs...doesn't slap the same.
Very informative content Kudos Ras is very well versed with Vw and Audis. Knowing that we wont shy from buying the German machines knowing there are experts like Ras with the knowledge in service and also engine/ gear repairs.
What? This is so educative. Can't get better. If I had to choose between this garage style and the other reviews, it's this garage style every time, without even thinking about it. A mix of both is even better.
This garage reviews are way better than the other car reviews.this one is focusing on what really matters in a car as opposed to the other one which is more on looks,speed and non essentials such as legroom and all that
Car wash part is true, once went to car wash and left on a flatbed. Water got to fusebox which knocked the TCM. All in all very VW's are very smooth cars to drive
I actually commented on the last video asking for this specific video🥳💯Personally I feel that DCT transmissions are unnecessary in regular passenger cars. The complications that come with them are not worth the gains you get in daily use especially because a well calibrated ZF can be just as good....a good example being the ZF boxes in BMWs. I think in performance vehicle eg M-cars, RS/S-audis, AMGs etc it makes sense to have a DCT but for an everyday passenger car you don't really need it....I suppose maybe you could argue fuel economy but even a ZF can perform just as well no❔️That being said I do actually like DCT boxes cuz when they work they are really good. Moral of the story manufactures should build them better.
Having owned one in an Audi for 5 years I would definitely say it’s a joy to have in a daily car, great at both low and high speeds, beautiful smooth shifts, good consumption in a 2l engine, oil change every 60k and I’ve done it twice, would definitely have it again.
I bought this car August last year with 219000kms on it but couldn’t keep up with its consumption, was doing 6kmpl, had no power at all kwa mlima actually could go as low as 30kmph nikipanda mlima. Body n interior was superb
Nice content Mr. Wokabi. Next leta specialists wa suspension sana sana air suspension. We'd like to understand how one can install air suspension kwa gari iko na coil springs, the cost of upgrading, where one can get this professionally done and the pros and cons of such an upgrade👍🏾
is there something like an online diagnosis where you involve the manufacturers of a particular car...in this case let's say an Audi ..so as to diagnose a certain mechanical or a mechatronic issue?
What causes auto start error to occur sometimes and not other times. Also why is there check engine sign when you start VW Golf and after short period after starting it disappears.
Hello that a nice explanation but. I have a problem with my mechanic of wich I don't know if it's my gear box or that mechanic, it's a mk6 vw 7speed but. I have only. 1. 3. 5. And 7the gear... 2. 4. 6. And reverse is not coming.. what can be the problem... kindly reply
I had the same problem .....vw mk7 didn't have some gears used to skip. Changed the clutch and it works realy well I've covered 50k more kms and not a problem till now
For a DSG gearbox, there are separate clutches, shafts, shift forks, solenoids for the even gears (2, 4, 6) and the odd gears (1, 3, 5). If your gearbox is a DSG, then from your complaints about the even gears not working, I think your problem could be either the even clutch and/or the actuator for the even gears. Your problem is probably mechanical. Hope this helps.
Yeah coz mine had no odd numbers, I tried to change it with another used clutch but didn't work. But when I imported a new clutch it worked really well, no complications ever since
What about you follow the manufacturer recommended services, regular maintenance, driving smoothly I think it is a plus, changing all the fluids as recommended by the manufacturer, I think any car will go for miles when you do that??
My VW Golf DSG 7 struggles sometimes to shift from d1 to d2. The vehicle also produces a grunting sound when driving in a hilly place (mostly while ni d1 or d2) What could be the issue?
I'm thinking about buying the tiguan but the dsg is giving me chills should i go with one with extremely low mileage ama try source one with an auto gearbox
Good morning. The VW Golfs from South Africa, is it true it comes with an Automatic Gearbox and not A DSG? If yes, where can one import a South African Unit from. Hizo DSG wacha zikae na uchawi yake.
Excellent video. Note fluids to cover entire trans service is ATF and MTF Fluids... Not forgetting the filters, gaskets, o-rings and drain plug w/crushwashers... reference ECStuning for proper service kit.. Service process (ua-cam.com/video/EPdEquH8sXg/v-deo.html)
Mechatronic u change t he accumulator only once u change that the vw/audi will leave 1000years....bought audi nchanged the pressure accumulator sold it bought a mercedes without any dsg problem
Hapa this episode kuna Biasness mob sana, to say that German vehicles last longer than their japanese counterparts ni ndoto ya kuotea asubuhi, Ati a german part on a german machine, the part will be more expensive than a japanese car, but will last longer before replacement, yes it will likely be more expensive, but it won't last longer than the japanese vehicles because the more engineered a vehicle is, the more it is likely to go wrong. Buying a vw or audi as your first vehicle, unless you come from dynasty lineage or are a tech bro, kitakuramba.
Wow! Ras is like a teacher....he understands this thing like his fingertips
I loved this episode. Ras is an expert indeed.
Thanks for English but there's nothing wrong with speaking Swahili/Kiswahili as long as there are subtitles. That way you can appeal to a wider audience.
Just place english subtitles and mix the language 😂
Yeah mix English and Kiswahili. Kazi Safi Auto konnect

You are making me change my attitude towards VAG gearboxes
As long as you have 100k-200k for DSG depending on the VAG model definately below 2000cc go for them
With a Ck nimeeka 42 million thanks for this tukiomoka tunaongeza zero
Very informative content Kudos Ras is very well versed with Vw and Audis. Knowing that we wont shy from buying the German machines knowing there are experts like Ras with the knowledge in service and also engine/ gear repairs.
Kudos Wokabi, your recent content has been top-notch
We miss those car reviews kama zamani .... Hii ya garage fanya iwe raw ❤

Nice suggestion.
This one emphasizes the saying that the truth shall set you free, and that knowledge is power.

@HumansandCars-cz9qz I pray the gearbox gods continue to smile upon you brother🔥💯
this guy knows his shiiiiit..am getting a gti this yr and only you will lay hands on it
Loved this. Unbiased content on DSG. Keep it up 😊
Ras really knows his trade

VW, Audi, Porsche, Bentley hizi na ma sister zake if not buying new with manufacturers warrant, then ashia akina Bill Gates ikiwa huna doo.
40:19 I learnt loads, thank you
Erick delivers
Anaitwa CK..ako sawa Car-bisaa
I've learnt everything I know about cars from you Wokabi. Rathimwo mani😅
Nice content Mr. Wokabi. Next leta specialists wa suspension sana sana air suspension. We'd like to understand how one can install air suspension kwa gari iko na coil springs, the cost of upgrading, where one can get this professionally done and the pros and cons of such an upgrade👍🏾
Ras has explained that DSG very well.
Insightful. Will be visiting Ras soon for advice on my A4
is there something like an online diagnosis where you involve the manufacturers of a particular car...in this case let's say an Audi ..so as to diagnose a certain mechanical or a mechatronic issue?
Yes for latest versions from 2020.
Very informative. Asante sana
You came back wiser
Insightful content kasisi
Nice review bwana ata kama uyu jamaa anasifu VW 😂 I love the content. Kindly gusa pande ya BMW manenoz and also Suspension and coil spring👌

**Awesome Content Erick and Ras: Insightful and Entertaining**
That was a truly insightful and entertaining piece of content. Thankyou
Very insightful content
Good stuff,,,,,,, kindly inform where your office is located for one on one consultation and vehicle buying( very interested)

thanks. I will get a new clutch and see the platforms
Very insightful videos Wokabi
is there a difference in the gearbox components apart from the bell housing/mountings with uk specs and the Japan spec german cars?
Speaking naturally makes the video more fun, wenye hawaelewi watumie subtitles
Awesome content.veeeery helpful and insightful. Thank you Sir.
All my friends bough VWs and AUDI and their classes and zili waangusha baya. They are good when new and past 80,000miles they get you by the b⚽lls😢
This happens when you buy one without checking the service history. Many things should be replaced by 90k kms.
What about you follow the manufacturer recommended services, regular maintenance, driving smoothly I think it is a plus, changing all the fluids as recommended by the manufacturer, I think any car will go for miles when you do that??
Good job erick you never let down
Good work Erick, you really are connecting
Could you talk about Hyundai Vezel cross overs as well
Ras "uBoso wena", meaning "You are the Boss" in South Africa
Hapo sawa.
Great content as always, other than the tiny pesa u need to include your mpesa.
My VW Golf DSG 7 struggles sometimes to shift from d1 to d2.
The vehicle also produces a grunting sound when driving in a hilly place (mostly while ni d1 or d2)
What could be the issue?
Would you consider doing video for the new Peugeot engines?
Most definitely sir
insightful piece...totally worth the time
Loving the content as always 😊
Kazi safi CK.
For engine displacement less than 2000cc, you can't compare maintenance costs za vw/audi na Japanese.
I'm thinking about buying the tiguan but the dsg is giving me chills should i go with one with extremely low mileage ama try source one with an auto gearbox
CK has done It again
Is the DCT gearbox in Honda vezel reliable?
Very informative content..well done
Good morning. The VW Golfs from South Africa, is it true it comes with an Automatic Gearbox and not A DSG? If yes, where can one import a South African Unit from. Hizo DSG wacha zikae na uchawi yake.
Hello sir. Yes some of them do come with an automatic transmission. Even the ones sold at CFAO run on an Auto Box
Erick, am in the market for a Probox engine; kindly recommend it.
A similar episode on the turbo.
Great session again.
One question... Huyu technician umempata wapi... Anasugua Kiingereza kama bibi wa wenyewe🤤
@erick,@ras can i swap the DSG to a JDM or a Mercedes engine??
Nice one CK. Hit us with some car reviews, rebuilds and on the road content to diversify your audience's car knowledge.
Awesome. Coming up this coming week
Thanks for sticking to English 💯🇿🇲
Channel imekuwa ya mafundi na sio ya Car reviewing
This is the way we want it
erick sound iko mbaya kuruka
sound iko low kiac
Amazing content ❤
My Audi feels like it’s stalling when it’s changing from gear 1 to 2 if you’re moving slowly while engaging the brakes 😂 I hope that’s normal with DSG
Ras know his stuff.
Excellent video. Note fluids to cover entire trans service is ATF and MTF Fluids... Not forgetting the filters, gaskets, o-rings and drain plug w/crushwashers... reference ECStuning for proper service kit.. Service process (ua-cam.com/video/EPdEquH8sXg/v-deo.html)
Most Eric's are good at fixing cars
"German cars are allergic to idiots!" That is so darn true.
Mechatronic u change t he accumulator only once u change that the vw/audi will leave 1000years....bought audi nchanged the pressure accumulator sold it bought a mercedes without any dsg problem
Aluminium bar is there in all German cars
Now I can own an audi in peace when time comes😅
Of course with Good pockets to pay people like Ras to work on it. Money is a factor no lie.
Very interesting
This is what we want
Rasta akiwa high just want to overtake all the subarus😅😅😅

I have a Japanese 5speed stick shift Toyota and haven't replaced ANYTHING for years
Mechatronics same as automatic transmission working on the same principle
I think I know who will amsha my Jalopy 2 years the machine is sleeping 😢
Another one ,🎉🎉🎉💯👍🏼
Nataka nber ya rass
Small engine big power is a big problem
The engine strains thus shortening lifespan. But a little different with the dsg (maximised torque)gearbox.
PS. All other facts held constant.
Eric 🐐
We ongea Kiswahili
