Greetings guys, looking forward in either getting a CKD passat or a jetta. Does anyone over here have the maintenance cost for both cars ? Btw, the jetta uses a 1.4tsi engine, right ? Isn't it kinda underpowered for a car at that size ?

QUOTE(Mavik @ Mar 25 2012, 12:19 AM) It's a twincharged 1.4 engine mate, super charged and turbo charged to achieve 160ps which is even more than a Camry 2.0 and an Accord 2.0. The Jetta will definitely give a number of C segment cars a run for their money. Go for a test drive and you will soon see the difference  Thanks for the reply bro. Anyway that I could have a look at the maintainance cost ?

QUOTE(kenso77 @ May 20 2012, 07:53 AM) Of course you can do it outside. After all, VW also sub contracts this to outsiders So its not going to void my warranty or anything ? The SA was recomending me to go for v-kool and he said that it could be done with vw itself. He recommend one which had a safety feature which prevents the glass from breaking, Was quoted around rm2200 for it. Is it worth in your opinion ?

QUOTE(kenso77 @ May 20 2012, 10:54 AM) Depends on which grade of V-Kool. The SA is not wrong to say that they can do the tint within the branch itself as some showrooms have special pre-delivery rooms that are dust free, making it ideal for good tint work. Do some research on the range of V-kool then ask what the SA is offering. If the SA can't even give you the grade, perhaps you can explore your options elsewhere. And no, tinting outside won't void warranty. I've got 3M for the front and rear windscreens and Llumar for the sides. I find the security/heat rejection combo to be better than the full Llumar on my Golf The SA did show me how the tint looks like. He had samples of various tint from V-Kool. Have booked my ride and really cant wait for it.

QUOTE(deadmau5 @ May 29 2012, 09:18 PM) Took back my car after 3 days in Cergaz. They replaced the clutch plates but still failed to fix the annoying noises under the car. Thinking of sending back again to fix it On the other hand, acceleration feels smoother & livelier than before  , totally no loss of power at all, somehow I realized the gear upshifts earlier too. So your car stalled the other day due to your clutch plates ?

QUOTE(DaBestOne @ May 31 2012, 01:32 PM) Logically, if Polo increase price then Golf should increase price too... the price will be so expensive  Asked my SA about the price increase and he said that he hasnt herd any news regarding it yet. Btw, are there any common problems that are faced by passat owners ?

Greetings guys,
really need your help. my dad went and pumped RON95 the other day for my passat and things were good. The next day onwards, i realised that the engine noise is kinda different( louder and doesnt really give a smooth feeling ) when i start the engine. The noise will be there for about a minute or two. Is this noise due to the petrol that i pumped in or is it some engine defect stuff. Thanks in advance.

QUOTE(Error404 @ Jul 1 2012, 11:32 PM) I got a question, if i turn my lights to AUTO then turn off the engine, the lights will be off. When I unlock my car later, the headlight will be auto turn on for about 10 secs, is this normal? Will this affecting the car's battery life? Its normal. I do the same for my car too. Its kinda cool to see your car lights turn on automatically when you unlock your car in a dark area./low lighting.

QUOTE(zweimmk @ Jul 7 2012, 01:35 PM) Went to the showroom earlier to sign all the documents. SA even showed me my car with the updated aircon dash. My Passat is now ready for delivery either Monday evening or Tuesday morning. Question: Was offered RM1.9k for vkool elite and armorcoat security by my SA. Take or do outside better? Any recommendations from all the sifus here? how does the updated air-cond dash look like ?
