If software update can solve it, then latest release of cars should have the new software isn't it? Or this only affecting older batch of cars?

No the software doesn't fully solve the issue. It still reoccurs even if you have the new software or not.

Hi guys, i'm planning to take the Golf TSI, does it have the juddering issue as well?

Its by luck, some fellas face it, some fellas don't face it. Some fella's juddering is very minor some is downright crazy and unbearable. I have sat in damn a lot of various VW's with the 7-speed ones and yes they all get the damn juddering including mine sad.gif

Yape. But not so major issues for me. U will get used to it after a week. While still waiting the solution from MALAYSIA VW. they are kinda sux in terms of tech support on vw car  doh.gif

VW Malaysia not looking into the solution, it has been escalated up to VW AG. Even VW Singapore is baffled and are waiting for the response there, note that VW Singapore has I think about 8 VW master technicians based there.

just wondering whats the reason that 3-4 years old MK5 GTI still selling so expensive like 160 range? is it due to the high demand for the GTIs?

My opinion is it should operate similiar to the rear-windscreen demister, i.e. to remove the mist/fog, but not able to boil-off droplets of water.

Wait some sifu/expert opinions.

Vaporize water drop? So power ka. My impression is that its meant to remove mist built up only, which doesnt really happen so i havent even tried it before.
