hey wanna ask u guys whether u drive your car like me biggrin.gif

D mode for traffic, going to work, in town
S mode for overtaking, medium traffic
+/- (paddles) mode for ulu yam and genting spirited driving ^^

i tried using S/D mode while using the paddles but some times i end up double shifting. (it auto shift right before i upshift) and end up jump 2 gears up sad.gif

any1 know if they sell manual stick shift vw cars in msia?
*
The only one I know which was sold with a manual stick was the last generation's Polo GTI. Otherwise you need to consider getting one brought in via AP from the UK. i.e. Golf R or Rocco R manual brows.gif brows.gif

anyone mind sharing the complete scheduled servicing and cost ?

Go to the link below
http://www.vwclubmalaysia.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=64

Good range of prices for VW's maintenance cost, whether it may be at a workshop outside or at the official service center.

AFAIK service interval for polo is 15k km. I would like to know how much for normal service and major service. thx
*
From what I have asked Polo owners, normal service can range from RM300+ to RM500+ depending on the place you are servicing at. Haven't met a Polo owner who has reached 60,000km yet, thats the first major service.

I read in other thread someone are saying that polo gti is having offer now till end of november the price is only 99k. Is that true? Is it the latest polo gti or the old model?
*
Should be the current Polo 1.2 TSI

QUOTE(fr0sti3 @ Sep 22 2011, 10:20 AM)
hey folks, hypothetically
is it during DSG manual shift mode reccomended to upshift around 4k rpm since my 1.2 tsi max torque is there (almost 4.1k rpm) ?
Yup no problem at 4.1k rpm. Have you driven in S mode yet?

QUOTE(defnose @ Sep 22 2011, 10:40 AM)
Eh, he told me the car was for the wife. But the wifey didnt like it as it was too 'powerful'  flex.gif

Really? I only saw the reply on Facebook when someone inquired about it and he said it was sold already.

yes, S mode tend to drag my rpm to 6k though
it feels like burning moar fuel. i do prefer manual shifting though haha more control incase need to downshift
So if S mode can upshift at 6k rpm, sure no problem to upshift at 4.1krpm tongue.gif

Like for me, I reach my peak torque of 307Nm at 3.5k rpm. But I don't think my D mode will change then, probably upshift earlier.

my D mode prefers to upshift around 1.5k rpm lol

well according to 1.2 tsi specs
HP 77kw (105ps) @ 5000
torque 175nm @ 1550-4100

i guess D mode's trying to avoid engaging the turbo
*
Hahaha can't believe the specs man, send the car for dyno then you can see your torque peak curve. Also good for you to get a baseline of your car as well biggrin.gif

Prices can range depending on where you go. RM450-RM600.

Plenty of shops in Sunway can do it as well, Hup Shun, or YR Auto in Kepong

Sure can except for some of the BMW la, such as the 335i and the M series!

wow,sounds sweeeet!!u can typically see an ahfat and estima takin over the right lane on highways which is annoying,would like my polo gti to make em pull to the left.but just a newbie question..with this highway cruising 180 and above seems easy for high performance cars,what about breaking for emergency?can the break respond in time?
*
Preferbly upgrade the brakes, because I feel the stock brakes a little too spongy

honestly i never get the feeling of 150 and above as i am currently driving a honda city tongue.gif and cant wait to get the feel of my polo gti next year!i dont know what to expect and couldn't arrange a test drive that soon either.
i wonder how those cars can do 180+ without fear of emergency break or sudden change of lanes from cars on the left..its either the break is damm good or they are just risking life.your thoughts?
*
The brakes are good coupled with ABS but it can always still be better! wink.gif

QUOTE(JAL811 @ Sep 23 2011, 08:51 PM)
agree....
did you upgrade your brakes ?
*
In the plans, start off first with simple steel braided hoses first. Then thinking about the R brakes.

QUOTE(devinz @ Sep 24 2011, 12:17 AM)
Am quite captivated by VW by it's signature farting sound on a GTI.

Wondering, is there anyway to replicate or enable the GTI farting sound on a Golf TSI?

Anyone manage to get it from changing the down pipe or stage 1, etc?
*
Yes, you need to change the exhaust. I have heard a TSI with a Remus exhaust achieve that together with a custom downpipe. Not too sure if he had removed the cat converter or added any bullets. Also heard the same for the 1.4 Scirocco as well.

QUOTE(mi_86 @ Sep 24 2011, 11:12 AM)
btw is it normal when you have the EPC and the Catalytic Converter lit up before the engine ignite (when key in the start position)?The sign will disappear when you ignite the engine...

Yes that is normal.

I'm contemplating on selling my 2010 Golf GTi and replacing it with the C200. Many people (including my wife) is advicing me against it, but won't stop me if I really want to. I don't know what I should do. I like the adrenalin rush it provides.. but there is just not much opportunity for me to 'tekan' it....... I seldom get to go anywhere without my wife... and when she's beside me, she'll forbid me from 'pecut'ing too much......
*
I would say go for the C200 bro, its just a class above the VW and its meant for the executive and comfortable ride with plenty of gadgets. Save some extra pocket money and have a toy car for the weekend sprints up cameron and back brows.gif brows.gif

Wonder how much does a 2010 GTi fetch nowadays. A little bit out of topic... but does anyone have any idea on how much does it cost to tender for WWC488?
*
The last transacted price for a 2010 GTI was around RM175,000-RM185,000 with some small mods here and there as well as depending on which month the car is registered.

yea...i get this irritating jerking in heavy traffic.  sad.gif  coz can only press the accelerator slightly.

the only way to avoid the jerking is to accelerate harder? any other method?

Send your car back to the service center, complain about this issue. They can either give you a new DSG map or change your clutch plate.
