    Mechanic recommendation Request - West Sydney suburbs

    Hi All

    My 2001 1.8T Passat has been acting up since I collected it from the shippers. It has a rough, erratic idle and intermittent misfiring on all cylinders.

    Would appreciate if anyone can recommend a good mechanic located around the Merrylands/Guildford suburbs.

    Thanks a bunch!

    Taken from another post;

    EuropeanAutotech -> Mona vale area, highly recommended
    EuroAutomative -> Girraween, highly highly highly recommended, but you need to queue up
    Bob Whyms Automotive -> Seven Hills. I have no experience with them, but they once quoted me $5K to rebuild my Mk2 engine.
    Chatswood Classic Cars -> They are VW dealer, if you are loyalty to dealer service 'quality', then go for it. otherwise I don't say any further.

    Sebastian Najder at EuroAutomotive in Girraween is your best bet for Western Sydney.

    http://www.euroauto.com.au

    Otherwise, if Seb can't fit you in, one of the others listed above.

    Have you had the car scanned for codes yet? May be something very simple, e.g. coolant temp sensor, MAF, O2 sensor, coil pack (coil on plug), plug etc that could be fixed in a day or two.

    BTW Derek also deserves the Highly Highly Highly recommended rating that Seb got as well! Can't imagine that you will want to drive to Derek's place though if the car is misfiring.
