The TSI owners who bought in 2010 knew what they were getting when they bought it. Cannot really blame VW for that. If they are kind enough to offer some subsidy for u guys to retrofit the lights, then VW is indeed very kind, because they are not obligated to do so. They are not cheating the 2010 owners lah. Cars always get updated mah. Just like ppl who buy iPad in Malaysia. Within a few months, now iPad 2 is out. So how? Apple subsidize old owners to get the new one?!

Of course cars get updated. Facelifting is very common. But you see the car was only officially lunched in September 2010. People took delivery in Oct/Nov. So imagine those buyers who now reliased..err...4 months down the road ..the same car gets updated. While I understand your point, its the buyers choice. Me..I knew what I am getting at when I paid 156k for the car. I dont expect VW to tell buyers wait for the 2011 model got DRL. But all things being equal, the 2010 owners have the right to feel pissed. Its like you buy a new car but 4 months on...ooppss you get less for the same money. It does not bode well in marketing strategy. Its like the person who bought the passat cc with normal auto box only to reliase 6 months later the DSG was vailable at the same price.

p.s Your example of Ipad2. At least apple cut the price for Ipad1. Secondly, the Ipad2 wont hit the shore in malaysia for sometime maybe until like end of the year. In our case we paid same money wor and TSI owners only get to enjoy the 'new' feeling for 4 months nia..so the example is not quite right.

went to check out the Golf 1.4 today. The SA told me this new tech gearbox you dont have to change the gear oil? don't have to drain the old oil at all? seriously?

I check VW website I can't find such claim. can someone advise me a link pls. Thank you.

It's a silver TSI.

Just the normal course of items, they get updated every now and then. But personally, I think the DRL's make the car look a little girly

yes DSG is a dry gearbox. they claim that got lubricant la but not oil. so dont need change gear oil.

How much would it cost to fit the DRL headlights ?

No idea, if you go through the approved VGW group, it might cost around the 5k region I think.

this one for POLO 6R

worth 5k? our Service centre in malaysia can handle and install it? haha

which SC you went to bro ? mmi ght wanna bring my car there since the usual SC i went is incompetent.

well... if u bought an ipad1 in the last two weeks u get a $100 rebate from apple... and u can even opt for an upgrade!

Has anyone sent their Polo TSI for service or for engine oil top up yet? What oil did they use? I called the dealer the other day and they said that they sell the oil in liters but I'll have to bring my own container!

I'm not sure what specification they use as well, it's probably Castrol, but does it have to be compliant to VW505 00, VW502 00 or VW504 00??? Or does VW507 00 cover all these?? Anyone actually topped up their engine oil yet?

Prices for the DRL's at FA Glenmarie was quoted around RM7k+

went to Glenmarie today as well to test the GTI. SA said not sure if 2011 GTI comes with DRL but 1.4 TSI definitely has DRL. I think the DRL is pretty cool looking.
SA also said that if take GTI 2010, he will free Golf R Tail lamp.

Any discount for the 2010 model? Went to Cergaz (the one near TTDI) and they're giving 2% (around RM4k) discount and some really low interest rates on the 2010 GTI.

So tempted to angkat and be damned with the 2011 model!

Anyone here knows of a dealer who can offer 5% discount i.e. RM10k?

I booked mine in Wearnes. The offer I got for GTI 2010 is 2% discount, 1.57% interest rate for 7y loan and free Vkool tinting. Paid the balance this morning, the car should be ready in 1 week. My SA told me that the car is actually 2011 production. She knows this based on the chasis number of the car. However, the Malaysian custom did not recognize this as 2011 car, so VW Malaysia declares them as 2010 car. I do not know how far this is true. According to the SA, there are 300 units available.

Any news on the Eos facelift coming? By the way how much discount for the 2010 Eos?

top up 7k+ ?? can we choose not to have these DRLs ar?

Hmmmmm ... thanks for the update and info. What colour you getting?

Mind telling me which Wearnes is this? I'll pay them a visit soon ... if can't get 5% discount at least I'll get free Vkool tinting.
