It depends, when was the car mapped?

I changed my coil mats very early when I got my VW. No brand wan, was at a shop then the taukeh ask if I wanted the coil mats so I changed it straight away at the time. Didn't even compare pricing so I wasn't sure that I got ripped off or not. Paid RM160 for 4 mats for the Golf.

Not confirmed, until official pricing is released, everything here is pure either insider info, rumours or just hearsay.

that's just crazy

ok, i'll blame my tires and rims and after lowering it. muahhaha

My trip to Penang and back to KL, used up 1.5 tank of petrol (that is about 3/4 of a full tank each way ).
At average speed of 110-120km/h.
Yeah...drove at normal speed coz just reached 1000km before the start of the journey.

Approx 850kms++ round trip, i think...did not really do any detailed observation, so not 100% sure.
This roughly translates to 566kms per full tank, but on highway 90% of time...

So, this means FC is good? coz my FD1 get more..

Maybe the engine is still new?

Hmm, are you the type that drives slowly the first 1000km?

Did anyone here try this before? http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

Two weeks from now... there should be some word on the new models. I think.

ofcourse ron97 is better...
confirm increase of HP somemore..

\but ron 97 is way too expensive for daily usage. unless u wanna speed heheh

still quite new bro..
my last time 1st few tanks only 400 km...
im not sure because of excited keep tekan and fren keep wanna sit my car n test power...
or what hahaha...
but after that my FC is getting better..
ur car still needs to get used to our sucky malaysia petrol and ur driving style..
after few more tanks should be ok d

oh gti, i'm not getting the gti. is 1.4 tai have problem with ron 95? Sa told me it's set for 95

The moment it dings

Anyway... my car is about 2 month, and already hitting 3000++ mileage Running the car hard occasionally and after reading to this -> http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm , it does make sense !

First 4 rounds of RON97 - and then move to RON95. Lets see... my usual start off the traffic is always tortoise.... COZ THE ROAD IS ALWAYS JAM IN KL/PJ! No need to hurry

I'm actually impress with the FC:power ratio Not a guzzler from my previous car experience....

what was your previous car bro? thinking of following the break in techniques. friend told me the same thing also, must whack hard hard when u get the car to make sure it is sealed properly.

but you always hear people say "new car must not accelerate hard" so which is true? hmmm

hi,

just to share my tsi FC. 100% stock. Ron95

1st 1000KM. Average RM0.18xx/KM
2nd 1000KM. Ave Rm0.17xx/KM
3rd 1000KM (current). Ave high RM0.16xx/KM

I drive in SG every workday and back. 100KM per day. Inclusive jam and free way (at sg 90km/h. at JB 140km/h)

APR mapped...

yea suppose to be tuned for 95 but i heard some ppl with problems running on ron95...
mostly should be ok 1..

1st 1000km, average between 90-110km/h. Of coz, I had to try very very hard conciously not to exceed 110km/h.

Added on October 7, 2011, 12:55 pmi drove the 1.4tsi and passat using ron95. no issue at all.
but the passat felt heavy and i had to press the accelerator pedal hard most of the time to get it moving but less so when using ron97.

FC for passat was horrendously high though. But generally no issue with ron 95.

My fren's MK6 GTI using ron 95 without problem also.

So, what is the problem with ron 95 that u heard about?

Nola..

You get same HP.. as the HP rated in the car is based on optimum fuel. Just that if you use Ron95 you lose about 1% HP for every octane dropped.

I think the Golf's engine is tuned to RON98 fuel. When using RON95 the ECU will adjust and compensate accordingly. Performance will be slightly affected.

ppl dyno with ron 95 only get 19x hp..
i dyno'ed with ron 97 i got 205 hp

the rated ofcourse is optimum fuel but when we pump our ron 95 petrols here confirm we wont get 210 hp ( for GTI )

and for the run in business i dont that its put into effect on newer cars nowadays...
my frens FD2 also 1st day whack federal 204 km/h hahaha

as i know the golf engine has already run in 5k KM b4 even put inside the car or something like that... ( read it somewhere forgot where already )

so u 1st day get ur car u whack 200 km/h also no problem..
the thing that u need to run in is ur brakes...

i also confirmed with SC he said no need to run in..
but dont whack so kao because u need to get used to the power 1st of the new car...
tat is why alot of ppl crash there GTI on the 1st few days due to not knowing the cars potential..

the 1st day i got my car i already whack it kao kao as many of my frens at yam cha session say wanna sit my car n test power..
