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.

Will definitely test drove the R when it arrive. brows.gif but to buy...another different story. sweat.gif sweat.gif

and after boring with that power, go to stage 2 pulak...and so on.. tongue.gif

But to digress..I've read some alarming post on some issues on the twincharger engine..seems like some problems with lost compressions in cylinders. Usually happens after 20k milage. If so..stage 1 APR is a real no no then..

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.

even when the dynaudio is PnP? That's unbelievable vmad.gif

Better air flow I guess, and maybe can increase about 1-2hp and also maybe void the warranty? thumbup.gif

Sad story...

During CNY, I am facing difficulties to start my car and suspecting my battery running out of power. My car only 8 months old and shounldn't R.I.P that early. Though, I sent my car to VW Jalan Ipoh Service centre and the service consultant do checking for me. He told me that my car's Radio causing the battery drained even your vehicle is switch OFF.

Initially, full battery = 12.5 +/- and my result showed nearly dead = around 9.5 bye.gif
He said my car require check & rectify and download the new software for the radio update and claim for a new battery however their system are not fully online and link to VGM yet.

So that, he advice to send my car to Wearnes VW, Sg.Besi.

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 sad.gif

Anyone facing this problem ?
Do you think Wearnes VW will replace a new battery for me ? hmm.gif
*
I was under the impression that the battery is 1 year warranty, at least.

I called again an hour ago...the SA told me: "The radio seen not original from Volkswagen, Did you change the radio"...I never ever mod anything for my ride, how come its not original ? The same answer from him "we will to full checking on it"  vmad.gif
I guess can't get my car by today:(

You are right bro..Take this valuable leasson. Sometimes we cannot 100% trust SA, they are so tricky ...

And this was told to you by one of the mech at Wearnes Sg Besi SC? OMG!!! It's like they dont know shit about VW cars.!! shakehead.gif shakehead.gif , Yup, SA basically will say almost anything to sell a car, but sc will say almost anything not to change any default parts in a car. whistling.gif

QUOTE(Mavik @ Feb 9 2011, 10:38 PM)
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!

Just tell me when and where, I'll be there. tongue.gif

Remapping really that risky one ah? What bout people who stay outside KL? Like myself, in Ipoh. If I remap my car, I'll have to do it in KL.... and if got any problem, I'll have to travel to KL to do it... I'll only do it if it is stable. If risky, I'll think I'll pass.
*
I thought remap is just a one-time off only? Furthermore, the mapping can't be so hardcore compared to those R35, vtec turbo's isn't? and it supposed to be a standard plug and play chip and not consist of on the road tuning?

all the 2011 models come with drl light but VGM has ordered that it be replaced with the standard headlights till they start promotion for the DRL lights. so if u get a golf in march/april most likely no drl.
mine had DRL but VGM ordered FA wagen to change it

SA and centre also. I was supposed to get my car today but SA called up and say ...errr..manager changed my car. Have to rearrange insurance and puspakom inspection. WTF?
Seriously thinking of cancelling the order. I have a sneaky feeling that they kinda bypass me for some VIP to get his/her faster. This is on top that I have paid my balance 2 weeks ago, everything was in order and SA told me that she needs 10 days to sort things out. Now 2 weeks down all this non sense came about..

I bought this car as a Valentine gift for missus..so now its already 1 week past deadline..missus getting pissed... hahahaha..and so am I.
Guess if I elect to take the car I wont be going back to Cergaz for this type of shitty service. God damn it..my worst fear has materialised even before I get my car. Crap service...VGM should take note of this!!
*
I've heard number of things about that "she" you mention at Cergaz. Once, my friend went there to test drive a VW car and the SA (the famous "she") just layan him so so and not much information given to my friend on how is the car like, what kind of features ...and so on. Then, he called me up, I bring him to Jln Ipoh vw and the next day, he place the booking, 4 or 5 days later, voila car is ready to collect.

To be fair, the car that he and me(I got the car in 3 working days btw) bought is already in their stockyard ie behind their service center. Maybe Cergaz do not stock cars hence the 2 weeks lead time.
