I think that's the main problem now. Too many cars with too few service facilities. Luckily not that many VW cars in Ipoh, so far. They're already expanding the Ipoh showroom n service centre as we speak.

Added on May 16, 2011, 3:18 pmI see some cars with the alphabets n numbers flush with the plate itself, and they're not stickers. I wonder how much does it cost to custom make one like that. And is it legal?

Would love to attend, but I'm working today. What to do.... economy not good, have to work for montly installment and every drop of RON97.

Don't worry lah. My GTi's FC also very high.... something like yours. But that is because I'm driving it 100% in town leh.... But if I mix in a some highway drive, then can go till 550-600km per full tank.

Because they are showing different things mah. One is oil temp (MFD), one is coolant temp.

What courtesy car did they give u for the time being?

Nevermind lah..... additional stuff comes with new pricing.

No worries, u got a trouble free GTi. That's what's important. RNS, 18inch rims.... all can be added later. I won't wanna pay extra for the sunroof because that's a feature I'm sure I won't use.
There's one thing I do wish my GTi to have....... and that's cruise control.

Who said Mazda needs RON97? My friend pumping in RON95 into his MX-5 also no problem.....(yet ).

Yeah.. I've got this ages ago. Mine comes from the rear left side suspension. Confirmed it by parking the car, opening the back door, and pressing the car down on the floor board. Can hear 'nyit-nyit' type of squeeking sound. But this only happens occasionally, on a super hot day. It goes away when the car cools down. The technicians told me that some rubber part there expanded due to the temp, thus the rubbing.
Mine got another weird problem. Just experienced it for the first time tonight. While going down a parking ramp, my car's engine just died off after going over a hump. I was going like less than 5kph. Called up the hotline and they told me that there could be something wrong with my fuel pump or something.. asked me to go check it out tomorrow. But of course I could easily restart my car after that, and everything is running smoothly now. I am just curious to know why it happened.

Got............ soooooooooo many. But I seldom (almost never) use the paddles. The car's brains seems to be able to judge better/faster than me.

Sorry for bringing up the petrol issue again ah. I'm currently using the ESSO RON97. But the service centre ppl are recommending me to switch to Primax 95 extra. What do you guys think? Any noticeable difference in performance when using these two? I'm using Primax 95 for my other ride and it seems smoother and more powerful than the ESSO 95. But what about ESSO97 and Petronas95? Is it an unfair comparison? Part of me wants to follow my service centre's advice and go with Primax95... but part of me is worried about the possible drop in performance.

Wah, u went around testing all the brands of 95 ah? OK lah.... I will give Primax95 a try, after I've nearly emptied my current tank of ESSO97. Try-try first.

i did bring it up at the service centre... but they said it is impossible to do so. Or maybe they are not allowed to do so... but the technician claimed that it can't be done... and it is best left that way.. because it is some sort of safety feature.

Why not? Outside air coming in mah.

Sure.... the 335i is nice. Didn't know we can get one for under 300k. After hearing your experience, I'd like to sell my GTi and grab a 335i too. But for a person without the knowledge/skill to check on the condition of 2nd hand cars, it seems a little bit risky to me. Anyway, I SERIOUSLY doubt I'll ever get the required 'permit' to change cars so soon. Wife already said that the next car would be a mpv/suv. So, I'm holding on to the GTi..... because it'll be some time before the next fun ride.

Wah.... how much?! I'd like to sell my GTi to get one too. UK or Japan unit?

Nah... I'm just joking... won't be selling off anything anytime soon. Will ride the GTi for the time being. When my piggy bank is full again, then I'll start looking for a new ride and pass the GTi to my wife..That time, 07 punya 335i will be damn cheap liao.

Brother...... I tell myself that everytime I get on that evil eliptical machine. But it the end, the body tells me otherwise . Can't fight reality, old is old liao. But then again, I have more money to splurge on toys than when I was young. Guess that more or less compensates for it. Oh yeah... 2 doors on a sporty ride is damn cool. Good excuse for not fetching lazy friends as well.

Passat CC gonna increase in price wor......

Nice.... but what about the rear? U gonna put those diagonal quads as well? How does a single pipe on each side look like with that abt bumper?
