JB here can remap to 210hp... any good offer at KL?

all's good and well...but u guys not worried about possible DSG issues? if i were a potential buyer, should i be worried?

i see got a number of owners have some problem with the gbox

what is the problem?

my guess is over heating, even EvoX SST also overheating problems

Yeah they have the APR ECU remap but if I am not mistaken, stage 1 brings it to 190hp only

The cost for stage 1 is 6k, any other place can get cheaper?

since you're in JB, why don't you cross the border to get the service. Plenty of tuner in Temasek and cheaper too.
You can get more info over here

Thank you. explore the site now

Increase alot...how about Golf GTI Mk6 ? if remap stage 1..how much horsess and torque will gain ?

mod german car are not cheap ;(

around 40 - 50 horses, and incease torque 100Nm or more

This is some of the news I have on the ECU remap. No idea how much it will be here in Malaysia

for RM6000, this result is impressive, worth every penny la.

Unitronic chip is cheaper.....and power delivery is smoother...

can't get that in a JDM ride

just tested the new Golf and here are my thoughts

Quite versatile. Powerfully fast enough when you need it to be, subtly slow when you want it to be. Step on the paddle and it hit 100-120km/h in a short burst! It really doesn't feel like a 1.4 engine.
Driving at 60km/h feels awfully slow and at 120km/h feels a bit slow. Gonna expect loads of speeding tickets with this car on the highway

Paddleshifts are nice and comfy. Gear change is ultra smooth (well, compared to my Mini Cooper and some of the BMW 3 series that I've driven). Its about 2k rpm at 100+ km/h on 7th gear.

Quiet and not so quiet. Signal Indicator hardly makes any noise. A bit of tyre-road noise, especially sitting at the back.

Front seats are quite ok. They're firm but not as fantastically comfortable as the leather ones found in a VW Beetle.
Rear seats are quite comfy (for short distance.. not sure for long distance) with adequate leg room if I was sitting in front and at the back (I'm about 180cm) but a bit of body roll. Sits 2 comfortably at the back but not 5.
Boot is a bit small but I guess it's ok.

Interior is nice (I like these subtle serious type of interior as well but as fantastic as what you'd find in an Alfa Romeo) but not as solid as a VW Beetle's soft touch dashboard.

Will wanna try the Polo later this month or early next month before I decide

is the golf 1.4 good to drive in city/jam condition?

how's the space? comparable to city/myvi or fiesta?

Personally, based on the smooth gear change I experienced just now, driving around in a congested road in town (during a jam) would be perfect.

To avoid any jerking, the only one needs to get used to is the brakes. Otherwise, it's rpm doesn't seem high enough that if you lift your foot off the brakes, the cars skips forward (like most cars)... there's a slight lag before the car moves if you lift your leg off the brakes without accelerating.

Feels larger than a Fiesta (rear seats definitely more space compared to a Fiesta) but side passenger can't sit crossed legged compared to my old E36 BMW. hehe... but the Fiesta seems to have less road noise compared to the new Golf...

what is the interest rate to get the golf 1.4 TSI?

cant quite recall but I believe it's 3.25% - 3.x% ... only the VW Beetle is on promo at 2.x% (lower than the Ford Focus' 2.76%)
