Good VW specialist repair in Randburg area

Post by Belix »

Hi folks
As much as I'd love to take the old Jetta to Hatfield, labour charges are a tad too much, and I'm not too sure they like working on such an old gal (they looked rather surprised the last time I took her in to Hatfield :lol: ).

There is a nasty noise which sounds a bit like bad pinking on acceleration, but I suspect it is the bearings on something anciliary, either the aircon pump, power steering, alternator or water pump. Don't imagine having it seize up on me would be great.

Was thinking of him, and he got a pile of recommendations via pm. Will see if he has a spot and some interest on working on such a battered old lady...

Hello ALL,

I have an old Golf VW 16v. Originally bought in 1989.

Car is running rough, and I am looking for someone to reset things and get it running properly again.
I am pretty close to Ranburg.

Thanks,

Neil.
