afaik jetta are built in mexico
1.4 twincharge vs 1.8 tsi, cheaper roadtax & better mileage
i guess 1.8 top end power will be better.

india cbu polo sedan's not worth buyin at 99k price range, if they come out with ckd at 89k then u may consider. india polo sedan (vento) sells better than honda city cos it's cheaper.

For oil, would you like to try Martini Racing?

its funny the prices in malaysia is kind of lopsided.
was reading in reviews overseas just yesterday

Megane RS 250 vs Golf GTI

in malaysia its 260k vs 200k.
overseas they recommend to go for Golf because its a bigger brand, just as fast, 5 doors and better overall R&H, eventhough its way more expensive than the RS

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.

I went for a test drive on last weekend and SA did show me the headlight swivel

Hi Xiu Keong. Do you mind telling me which VW branch you went for a test drive or even the SA's name? Thanks.

Which VW dealer in Malaysia can I go for a Golf R or Scirocco R test drive?

I went for Glenmarie showroom. The name I can't remember cause the card is with my dad

how to test?
when my gear at P gear, i turn steering din see headlamp turn also

Hi Bro, the headlight is dynamic, therefore it's swivel.

I have a 2011 Golf and the lighting is the same as the 2012. There are 2 cornering lights in the Golf (those in 2011 has an option of purchasing it with or without this feature): dynamic and static. Static bending activates your front fog lights (left turns on when you're turning left and vice versa on the opposite direction) occurs when you're stationary to speeds up to 10kph (dynamic is not active at these speeds). Dynamic bending is when the xenon light beam swivels and turns as you turn the steering wheel and only happens at speeds above 10kph.

Didn't take note of this as I was outside of the car looking at the headlamps :/

Sry about that

my concern is when turn on engine, my 2010 golf (w/o LED) can self check swivel, so by right it can dynamic d.
just need test it to confirm, duno how to test ^^

Just got my 1.4 Rocco yesterday.

When I lock the car from outside using the key, would the sidemirrors fold itself? Currently it doesnt. How do I set it to fold once I key lock it?

THANKS ALL!! I LOVE VW!

Drive around in a dark car park at speeds higher than 10kph and turn the steering wheel. The swivel is not as aggressive as a Peugeot system but it's present .... shining the light on a wall as you drive the car and turn is the best way to see the beam direction

Added on June 28, 2012, 10:16 amNo, it does not fold. Some say reprogramming using VAGCOM is possible but personally I have not met anyone who has done it.

Booked and paid the downpayment for the new Passat. The SA promised me the car in about 2 to 3 weeks time.

Hope to join you guys soon

CKD Passat?
Congrats!
My next car hopefully

Congrats!

Yes kenso your info is accurate. I found this last night in the manual too. So far I think I have activated it in the MDF - unchecked travel mode and checked bend lighting. I am also aware that the maximum that the lights will swivel is 15 degree. I believe my lights do no swivel, I am just not 100% sure whether I'm not observant enough (I've been looking at it very hard for a few days now), or there's more to the MDF setting than what I just described, or mine is defect.

It's just added pain when the SA told me that only the GTI Golf has this feature.

Which branch is this?
