    I’m so sorry about ur Son Brother, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
  • How sad you lost your son. I lost my precious son too ... at 16 yrs.. to leukemia ... now nothing else matters in the world to me. As a 60 year old, I just pass my time tinkering under the bonnet of my old Audi A4 in the countryside of County Kildare in Ireland. It just passes the time. Thanks for your great video. KEV
  • I’m 19 and I just bought my first car a few months ago. I got a used 2013 Jetta tdi premium and I’m in love with it. The interior is more luxurious than any other car I looked at at its price point. It only had 15k miles. I’ve read that tdi engines have lasted 300k-400k miles if you take care of it. Every time I get in my car I’m so proud. While my friends my age are out buying brand new luxury cars and struggling to pay them off I’m driving a car that’s pretty much just as nice af just a fraction of the cost. I was able to pay for it in full too. I love my little Jetta

    I like your passion and I've maintained my own cars for years! Now drive a 2015 Jetta which is a pleasure to drive.

    You have a NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE! I have a 2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI(Diesel engine) I got it about a week ago and I’m going to start doing my oil changes and stuff! Thank you for this YouTube channel!!!

    I have a Gen 1 2009 Tiguan. These videos have been a really big help. Charles and EJ have saved me a ton of money. I now have a garage full of tools and gadgets, but it is still a fraction of what it would cost to take it to a shop. There is a learning curve to German cars if you are used to Ford, but it is time and money well spent. Thank you.

    Hello, I have vw tiguan 2013 se, I bought an android unit instead of the original one, my questions is do I need an adapter to keep the original backup camera works or will work normally on the android units those are available on Aliexpress?
  • @nikdanial9640
    Is there any issue regarding Volkswagen DSG gearbox? Specifically the gearboxes on scirocco 1.4 tsi & the 2.0 tsi? I was thinking of purchasing either one so it really helps if u have any information on it. Thanks.
  • Sorry for your loss. Thanks for being so vulnerable with us on this video
  • Huge fan of VW, I am on my third one. Started with Passat, Jetta and now I own Tiguan. Fantastic cars super reliable.
  • @Boodieman72
    All cars are cheap to maintain if you do the work yourself. Everything costs 2 to 3 times more if you go to a dealer rather than an independent shop.
  • @ConnorMarc
    I came here as part of my research, planning on buying a 2017 Passat R-Line this week. However, I'm moved by your loss. Please accept my condolences brother. God is still in control.

    I owned my 2001 Golf TDI for 18 years. I sold it with just shy of 400K miles on it. It was the most reliable car I've ever owned. I replaced it with a 2015 Golf TDI. We also bought my wife a 2014 Beetle TDI. We've had both of them for just over 2 years with nothing put in except for oil. Yeah, they're reliable.
