Where to service my TDI
Good day people
If anyone has some recommendations I would appreciate it.
I'm looking for a reliable and preferably affordable service centre for my VW Polo 1.9 TDI in and around the Centurion / Midrand area.
I need to service my car next month. There is also some other mechanical maintenance that will have to be done - misfiring while idling, something to do with the injectors.
So far I have recommendations for:
Steve's Auto Clinic (Somewhere around Kyalami)
Bosch (I've heard that they are very expensive and not necessarily very good)
Carnetics, whom I trust and have used many times in the past, but they specialise more in petrol cars and they said they would rather not do the required maintenance on my vehicle.
TIA

Re: Where to service my TDI
Do not go to Bosch! Many horror stories have come out of Bosch service centres.
Here is an example:

Unfortunately I don't know anyone in the Centurion/Midrand area. Hopefully someone else will be more helpful.
If you willing to travel to the North of Joburg then give Morne (Forum name is G60 Golf) a call. He might be able to help you out, and has a good reputation on this forum.
