They will do it but they will charge. I did complain that my TSI has this annoying squeky/rattling sound and the SC said its an know issue. They too have a solution-some silicon seal but ......we have to pay for it, cost about RM200++. VGM said its not covered under warranty. Is this reasonable? Cergaz said they will try to negotiate with VGM and do it FOC but to date no news. I plan to heck it and fix it when I send the car for first service lo..pay also I dont freaking mind.

Added on May 29, 2011, 2:51 amCharge what? For something that is not right to begin with?

Did they charge for replacing the leaking wiper on earlier mk6 gti?

Don't think they should charge to fix things that is wrong to begin with

ok bro.. i will join u guys at warung belly on wednesday...
cause currently cant spend too much on it 1st..

Bro I am not sifu, just sharing what I know. Not expert opinion

Not sure r32, but stock mk5 gti can outpace a r32 because gti is lighter.

Wah what oil change? I don't open work shop la bro! Hahahahah

BMW off topic here la bro hahaha

oh ok, just now busy so cannot change at EM, tomorrow close
and tomorrow got a long drive to do, it has been 8k km since my last oil change
i prefer to do every 7.5k km....not sure my driving consider hard or just normal, high speed 180-220 is about once a week, in one week driven 5 times....redline rarely

for me the only good thing about the r32 is just the sound and AWD, for straight line gti anytime

Go mike's place in sg long... usually open on sunday

Oil change easy if you have the tools...

Hey k3v, any idea where can I get the original engine oil filter?

i just done it with RM250 included labour. do u guys know how much service center charge ?

Happen to me also few times.. Their site is down for a moment..

Which car?

I have mk5 GTI, mk6 GTI oil filter in my store now... you can get it from at the TT on wed.

We have a promotion now. Free oil filter.

http://store.modyourfast.com/collections/f...o-oil-promotion

Else. Can always buy them off us.

To be honest, I have not sold them separately for a long time so I can't really remember the retail price for it. I think SC sells them for RM 68 or something but I guess can sell you for RM 55 la.

Added on May 29, 2011, 12:11 pmFirst service with Castrol is RM 550.

RM250 is a very good price. What oil did you use?

Fren's workshop near genting klang..jalan usahawan (close to Sri utama honda service center)

Hey wat u guys think bat d Forge DV. Worth changin? Heard someone mentioning our stock dv owes pecah or something so can't hold d boost well

This post has been edited by Yan: May 29 2011, 03:03 PM

Hi, was wondering...can I get the polo oil filter from the outside shops? Roughly how much is it? As I plan to change my engine Oil and filter when it reaches 7k mileage. The official vw service centre cost a bomb...wil only go them them when it reaches 15k...thanks for your help.

I am using Forge Diverter Valve (DV) which I did a write up here -> http://k3v.modyourfast.com/?p=345

That's before I relocated it -> http://k3v.modyourfast.com/?p=1081



To be honest, unless you are going where I am going.... I think the DV may not be everyone's mod.

Why?

1. The DV requires servicing every 10-15k, else sludges (because it is valve and you have rubber grease running through it... overtime, the grease hardens) will reduce your DV efficiency until you have serviced it. This is one of the reason why I relocated my DV to the front of my car so that I can DIY service every other 5k.

2. The DV gives a wooshhhh sound when you accelerate, something like sound of intake and as you progress further into your modification with a Cold Air Intake.... you will get an even more funnier sound when you throttle off - some say its a monkey, some say its a duck and defeats the EURO refinement blah blah blah... I say its fine by me. LOL

Because the DV is mechanically operated as opposed to the existing electronic DV which is operated by your ECU, you can hold boost better. The older revision of the stock standard DV comes with diaphragm and because of that it breaks easily through wear and tear. Subsequent to that, VW has already released an improved version where the diaphragm is now replaced by a metal/aluminium part (hmm... actually i am not sure what material haha) so you should be alright.

I have been using the Forge DV for a while, I think its a good mod but really subjective to what you want to achieve. The stock standard DV works with charm as well.... but if you are heading towards a bigger turbo, you will require DV relocated (the S3 ko4 turbo has its own relocation kit using REV D DV) and because I will going there (sooner or later...keke), the forge DV relocation suits me.... question is... are you going that way?

Here's another pic of my engine bay with my DV smacked in the front....



My Peak Boost - not necessary good but I rmbr it happened at 6th Gear... can't say what speed because its not legal! haha



By the way, I know someone wanna sell his used Forge DV which he only used for 2 mths and took it out because he got lazy and didn't want to service his DV - hence why I caution you before you proceed. But should you proceed, get this one.... used units are cheaper hahhaa

dun think i'll go crazy like u lah ..hehe... too keng for me liaw... actually i think prob i'll b goin for APR stage 1 soon (btw this is for my scirocco 1.4) ... heard some say if the stock oem DV is not broken, even if change the Forge DV will not giv me any performance boost. wonder if even stage 1, i wun benefit fr it at all ? and how much ur fren selling his 2mths dv (pm me) ?
