your choices range from 80k -> 130k, from jap -> conti, 1.5l to 1.2 twincharge to 2.0l....dude u need to cut out some variables from your choices. Decide whats your top 2 priorities, then its easier to make the choice.

why not work part time and earn your own cash for mods? unlikely your dad will say no if you spent your own hard earn cash, in fact, he might be proud of you. Just because u are studying doesnt mean u cant have side income...its so easy nowadays with the internet

what makes you think remapping will make your car smoother and improve drivability? badly tuned 'custom' msian maps is probably the no.1 cause of rough idle, knocking, too rich fuel mixture and other issues in VWs in msia. if this is your first car..i would stay FAR away form touching any sort of engine/ECU mods untill you are sure u know what u are doing. why muck up a brand new car with 5 year warranty?

Take DKtuning for example...do u know which parameters his tune will change? is he just increasing boost? how about ignition timing? how is he going to mate the increased turbo boost with the supercharger? they need ot work in tandem for the best performance

I'm working now in fact, at shangri-la kl lol. Its just an internship with the lowest pay u can imagine, but its d experience that counts for now.

Well, I tried the APR remap and its so damn smooth & powerful, my father tried it too, unfortunately the trial ended early if not he would have been poisoned enough

Btw this is my 2nd car, I still kinda miss my first car

i've tested the polo until 150km/h. not much problem, although not as quiet as golf. more important is what car you are used too
if you are using the first gen city i can assure you will get improvement in NVH

love is not determined by how much money he will give you
you got the mk6 GTI is it? lately i'm seeing mk6 everywhere, most of them GTI though

was in the passenger seat last time in MK6 gti, pressed the button but can't quite tell the difference
any noticable difference?
since my MK5 don't have that


i really know how you feel
there's this dude in VGM forum, still student but using mk5 gti
i think his dad bought for him
his modifications worth rm11k already and now he's selling his car

Yeah jwrx is correct because even the different sort of fuel you use can make a difference to those maps.

I memang benci orang press-press my buttons when I drive. Distracts me. Anyway, There is noticeable difference when the DCC settings are changed. Of course on a short normal city drive, u won't feel much of a difference. But when u drive on lousy roads in Ipoh, u can feel the suspension being stiffer on sports and softer on Comfort. But I'm lazy to always fiddle with it. That's why I always have it on Normal.

Added on January 9, 2011, 7:55 amUp till now I've only tried Esso and Petronas' RON97 petrol. And sad to say, Petronas' 97 is not so easily available at all kiosks. Personally, I prefer Mobil/Esso because it is so near my house. But my service advisor at the SC said that Petronas is the best. So, I just follow lor. U guys using what fuel? 95? With my previous ride, I felt that 95 is just a bit lacking in terms of power compared to 97. That's why I didn't bother to put 95 in my Golf now. Actually, not much difference in terms of RM per tankful.

If only myself in the car, it would be set to Normal.
If fetching parents or girls, then it would be on Comfort.

eh? a full tank of ron97 vs ron95 for our cars is almost rm30. thats a big diffrence

I find shell 95 to be quite bad, i dont touch it at all, independent testing has shown that petronas 97 is among the best in msia in terms of octane rating but it varies from station to station

Which department ?
I heard from my SA and saying that he have the APR stage I programme (Demo and last for 6 hours) and install into MK6 for FOC
If you need FULL version,
got such thing ?

RM30 these days won't get u far. 1 pint of beer pun gone liao. I'm still sticking with Petronas. I just don't like the fact that the nozzle is too big for the hole.

There must be a lot of VW deliveries coz i just saw a ton of vw s on the road - golfs. gtis and polos easily about 30 cars within 23 hours... As for the fuel ..petronas 97 is good??? that is news to me. I have always compared the mileage of petronas with 3 other brands and the one that comes out tops has always been 'siput' And i didnt like 'siput' in the first place.

I'm not sure whether Petronas is the 'best' or not..... People say, I listen lor....

Hi there, am interested in getting a Polo myself soon however I don't see many people going for this car, not even a club or forum dedicated to this Polo alone...

I was given option to go for 2010 or 2011 car. There's promotion for Polo 2010 car going with interest rate around 1.8 - 2.08% and you can get hold of the car within 2 weeks, while you need to fork out 3.1 - 3.2% for 2011 and you would have to wait till April to get hold of it.

Question here, is it worthwhile to get the 2011 car?

Any recommended place for me to source out accessories such as 16" rim, body kit, RCD310?

Thanks. Am newbie in VW world. Hope this will turn out to be sweet introduction entry to fun ride for me.

3.1 - 3.2% meh? i was told 2.75% @ VW Bangsar

Maybe my SA wanna persuade me into buying the 2010 car instead. When can get the 2011 car from VW Bangsar?

Sure u dun wan the Golf TSI? Since u already made up your mind to change the rims to 16inches, sound system to 310.... might as well straight go for the bigger Golf instead.

extra 40k wor for the golf.. lol change rim and change 310 noneed 40k price tag ma hahah

Aisay man.... 40k... u get more than just rims n stereo lah. Bigger cabin space, engine capacity, power, etc. But that all depends on the buyer's needs and whether he can afford the extra 40k or not lah.

Haha, 40k can get golf. Another 40k can get Scirocco, another 20k can get GTI, another 40k can get 210 Scirocco...
Gotta go easy on my first ride in VW..
