I'm really starting to suspect what my SA told me - that the bi-xenon lights do not swivel and it's only the fog lights. Btw I drive a golf.

Paultan's blog said it pretty clear that the light swivels and I've read a few overseas forum. I turned off 'travel mode' in the mfi but it doesn't work either.

My light is on "auto" mode, what did I miss?

i don't think the light swirl. it just the fog light automatic switch on

Sigh. I called up my SA who then passed the phone to a more senior SA who still claimed that the head lights should not swivel. He kept thinking that I meant the fog light, had to spent 2 full minutes repeating to him that I was talking about the xenon headlight. When he finally understood my question, instead of telling me he is unsure he went back to explaining how the fog light works when I check the 'bend lighting' option.

Mavik, if you don't mind. Can you tell me the settings of your mdf? To be absolutely sure, is there anyone out there who got a 2012 golf 1.4 who can tell me that his headlight swivel?

Haha the SA was very upset that I brought up some feature that he's not aware of and kept claiming that there's no such feature. As for me, I'm always baffled when ppl's logic allow them to think that having not seen a UFO is the proof of there being no UFO. So I told the guy nicely that I wouldnt trouble him any further and I would find out myself.

Hi all the sifu, this is my first post here, hoping to get some info from all the sifus.

my golf 1.4 tsi's machatronic gave away about 1 month ago at the millege of 20k sth. had it in the SC for 3 weeks and replaced the faulty unit under warrenty. took the car back last week, but last night outta blue, my car got overheating, and the check engine light came out. right now the car is at sg.besi SC again and all they can tell me is that they are still 'checking the wiring". any sifu had any sort of similar experience?

my job requires a lot of traveling and my car is giving me a massive headache these 2 months, to the extent where i started to doubt my decision of getting it at the first place... hope all the sifu here can share some lights. thanks a lot

What u already sold your golf? So what car r u using now?

so the SC didn't manage to solve all the issues for you? since you sold off your car at the end of the day... damn i thought this would be a long term car....gotta consider the possibility of selling it now...

I'm sincerely very sorry to hear this. When you were explaining about the swivel light, you used past tense and I thought it's just a typo. I'm very sorry for asking about the MDF setting too.

Frankly, one of the reason I bought a golf was because I stumbled upon your blog. I hope you have found an equally good car by now, if not a better one.

yes the golf TSI gearbox is quite problematic.

but the 6 speed on the MK6 GTI is quite problem free. rarely heard got issues. i guess the 7 speed is just problematic

Ahhh, a clue on why it was failing in the first place *wink, wink*   

The dry-clutch is rated for 250Nm. Those who remap for higher power and torque should be a little worried, too.

Stock cars? Which means to solve it need to mod?

I think ppl are not so worried by the breakdown of the parts itself but the slow and bad service VW gave them when the parts fail.

Emergency ppl! My new GTi showing an orange color oil icon on the info display. I checked the oil level of the car is normal. So what I should do now? Sifu pls advice!

My passat loan approved today. But plan to get car end august. How compare 3M with Llumar? Any advice.

Usually how much milleage consider normal?? I just too up almost a litre of oil.
