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.

The clue is in my signature.

The SC solved it all but I just got frustrated with it being constantly at the SC and the poor service I received. But my main factor for selling the car was that I wanted a boot as I couldn't fit enough luggage especially during family trips and I can't put in more than 1 golf bags (as me and my friends car pool to golf courses).

No doubt the Golf 1.4 is a good car, keep it in tip top shape but if you are the speed junkie which likes to whack it up and down Genting (via the Ulu Yam route), then I would consider ensure that you take care of the gearbox.

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

Well to be fair, the 7-speed is indeed a good gearbox minus the reliability. Just that it can't take that much torque.

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.

yeah yours was remapped and the most powerful 1.4 out there somemore.. haha

but even stock ones got issues.... some ppl out there scared to buy VW for this DSG reliability already

If things go well, I might be picking up a VW myself. Let's see how things go.

any new passat cc owner here?

so if i was to buy a mk5 gti i'd be abit worry compared if i buy a mk6 gti?

which one?

yesterday I pass by VW. got 1 car cover up from truck.
Duo exhuast. Any Idea what car? like new pre-launch car.
:hmmm

Hi, any VW Jetta owners here? any probs with your car? DSG etc? I'm planning on getting a Jetta, just nice in my budget eh...

in terms of?
mk6 stock will have its warranty covered for a few more years.

just wondering since i saw people saying the dsg in mk6 more stable.

To be quite honest, there were plenty of stock cars which had the same failure as well.

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