R coming to Malaysia? When and how much will it cost? I totally have no idea about this before.... can you enlighten me with more info? hehe
*
Rumoured and some people have already placed their booking fee, the Golf R would be here Q1 while the Roc R will be here end Q2 or Q3. But like I said its via heresay and word of mouth from the dealers. The Golf R is expected to be around RM280k while the Roc R might not have a tentative pricing yet.

You wont regret getting the TSI, the power is there for you to use, also fun to drive but of course can't compete with the big brother gti la..

and after boring with that power, go to stage 2 pulak...and so on..  tongue.gif
that link that you gave me seriously made me think twice now  sweat.gif  sweat.gif
hopefully the problems has been rectified with our 2009/2010 model. if not..habis doh.gif

On a separate note, any of you VW owners has/going/planning to install the Dynaudio sound system? I heard numbers of opinion which is mixed up. For those who has this inside your care, care to shed some light into it? or better, can let me audition your car?  blush.gif

Stage 2 is not available for the Golf 1.4 TSI but I have read mods done on the Golf in Germany and they are able to bring the car to 300bhp but that is more for the manual one as the 7speed DSG gearbox can't withstand that amount of power.

Problem about installing Dynaudio here is that the warranty will be voided. That means anything that is electronically powered in the car will have it's warranty voided.

But I thought you can have the Dynaudios as factory kitted as well.
Our singapore boys have the option where they can pay extra for it...right.
Just wondering if anyone thinking of dumping the Dyna. As far as I know the Passat CC comes standard with Dynas.

Hahaha unfortunately here in Malaysia we are sort of in the losing end sad.gif

Elsewhere getting a ABT stage 1 or a APR stage 1 with their products will NOT void the warranty. Only here in Malaysia, any added mods would be warranty voidable.

Heck in SG, their normal Golf TSI can come with leather seat options, electric seats, Adaptive chasis control. Over here, we get the losing end sad.gif

Well all I can say if you look for their Managing Director in lets say Google and find that he is on Linked In and then send some mass complaints to him there, it might be a little straight forward and creepy whistling.gif

Called my SA at Cergaz today as I wanted to change the HU. he informed me it will void my radio warranty only and will not affect other parts.

Suggest you call your SA to find out.

Read the above mentioned post by climacool where his HU caused his battery to be spoiled. He can't get the warranty claim back for his battery. SA will say one thing but SC will say a different thing as well.

Well, this morning I sent my car to Wearnes VW and I told him my issue...He call the Service advisor at VW Jalan ipoht. After that, I asked him that am I eligible to claim a new battery because the radio causing the battery leaking off the energy. He replied that I'm not be able to claim a new battery because the battery warranty is over and subject based on individual driving condition. I was like...WTH ? I told him...Is not about individual driving condition, is because of the radio issue...He never reply anything to me.

From the VW 5-Year Warranty Terms and Condition

One thing to note that the extended 5 year warranty is insured by Allianz (well mine is anyway) and this was what I was quoted when I checked with my SC in regards to changing the HU. Taken from the terms and conditions.

http://my.volkswagen.com/vwcms/master_publ...conditions.html

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


This portion was specifically pointed out to me when I asked about the following items:
- Changing the in car entertainment system, speaker setups, amplifiers
- Changing air filter, exhaust systems, bodykits
- Adding in security functions such as GPS tracker/immobilizers
- changing to leather seats

Now note that my SA says its ok to change any of these stuff and they even offer to change it but SC says a whole different other thing when it comes to claims warranty. Best is to have a better relationship with the SC than the SA.

Some examples here.

Can someone pls just link the few pages before to VW. Pls VW dont end up like NAza service..!!!

Most of the time it's not really Naza that has the bad service but the company which runs the service centers That do. Same goes for Toyota, Honda and other brands as well. Worst I had experience was frm my Honda service center. But it's not owned by Honda Malaysia and run by some XXX Sdn Bhd. Most of the time, corporate can't manage ALL their service centers and manage each complaint.

Why not apply for VGM's after sales service position? Go to my.Volkswagen.com and choose careers. There is a position there smile.gif

Couple of weeks ago I installed a Dension Gateway 5 Bluetooth unit to the RCD 310. Some of the functions could not be used so I took my car to the SC for a diagnostic check. There was a major fault on the CAN bus. The SC told me to remove the bluetooth unit and cleared the fault for me. Did not say anything about voiding the warranty.

Anyway the HU is plug and play if they make any noises I can just replace it before servicing.
*
Yeah that's why my RCD310 is sitting in my display cabinet at home. Anytime if got problems with warranty replace my HU back and then send to SC whistling.gif

Some one was selling a VAGCOM unit at The Golf club forum at around thousand plus USD. Not sure if there is still stock.

yala jangan takut. vw still reliable. as from the replying mail, it's the knowledge, skill bla bla and miscommunication. my sc at jln ipoh explained me clearly about the 5yrs warranty BEFORE i made decision to purchase. i'm a satisfied customer.

Hehe yeah my colleague who used to work in BMW also said that the warranty thing is very standard and common and BMW themselves uses it.

Like Futobuta say, lets just yamcha and relax!

So far from the earlier mentioned posts, the nightmare stories seem to come from both FA Wagen and Sg Besi Wearnes. The Wearnes at Bangsar and Ampang doesn't have a service center.

Euromobil is in Glenmarie but have no experience with it and Cergaz is quite new.

You won't get warranty for the RCD310.

The rest depends on your relationship with your SC

Anyone knows of any Difference between the Golf TSI 2010 vs 2011 model?

LED lights perhaps?

The Golf's at the FA Wagen Glenmarie branch now has the LED light models. My colleague went to test drive the car over the weekend and saw it. But they are unsure if the 2011 models that are brought in will have it

How to get the 2011 car man? Car manufactured in 2011 probably have to wait for the January batches from the factory. Takes a month for them to ship here to Malaysia so most probably the cars are still on their way here.

Awesome, do a video or sound record of your exhaust. Let us hear your baby's new sound wink.gif

Btw saw a silver TSI on the road today with the full ABT kit. Personally I think vertical placed DRL's look weird...

Considering to get either Polo GTI or Golf. Hope able to grab more info here to help on my decision. Cheers

So far no news yet on when the Polo GTI will arrive here on our shores. What is it that you are after? Pure performance or comfort? Or both? Is size a matter?
