There is a new mechatronic version and clutch pack that is being used on all 2013 production cars. supposedly it would solve the dsg issue

any cars prior to 2013 sent in for repairs will be replaced with the new versions

i have in my garage

1. golf tsi 2011 (just swapped to new mecha)
2. Passat sport 2012 (no issues yet)
#. jetta 2013 (new version mecha already in)

Hi, recently went to glenmarie service centre.
I making a duplicate key for my beetle as the old one was broken.
So I left my car at their place cause they need to do the coding with the new key so it will sync with the car.
After a week at their place, I called them asking if the job is done. They said yes.
So I went there on Saturday, the guy at front counter told me to wait for them to prepare my car.
I wait and wait and wait....until 1hour plus..
I got fed up and asked the guy wheres my car.. And to my surprise he said the key is missing!!! wtf!!
So I don't want to make a scene as I understand they got a lot of customer that day and I decided to wait for them to find the key..
After another 30mins, I cannot tahan anymore... I went to the garage and found my car, and yes the key is not there.
So I wandering around the garage and found like a frame where they hook all the car keys and happen that I can spot my key as the new key being attached with a piece of paper with a barcode.
So I asked a staff over there and asked him if that is my key. He don't know. So I demand to hold the key and went to my car and press the unlock button. And guess what... It is my key. So I ask the staff if i can take my car now. He said need to confirm with the earlier front desk guy.
So the staff and I went to that guy and ask him. And the guy just ya ya, that the key u can take the car now..
So I went to my car, but the car can't start. I went look at the engine and found that the air filter connection is not being fitted. So I fit it myself!!
but still cannot start. So I asked a nearby staff and he call the chief mechanic.
And to my surprise a lot is not being connected yet... mostly around the air filter components.
After he done that I told advise him to tell his staff to be more professional. If the car is not ready yet, just tell me so la!!!
Luckily im not the type who will shout at people. i just shout in forum hahahaha
Just sharing my experience la....

Top car with lousy after sales. End of the day it's all about attitude problem and VW did not manage their dealers KPI.

how do u know its the new mecha?Mine was sent in end Dec and was repaired January 2013.

hmmm if not wrong tiguan likely on DQ500, wet 7spd dsg

i just got an offer for a 6 months old Polo GTI going for RM136K

what do you guys think about this?

better than a 1.5 year old normal 1.4tsi golf?

if you don't need the space then go grab to polo gti,
else golf would be a better choice

do pay attention, polo rims are 5x100 golfs are 5x112

same gearbox and engine different power output. Try both and decide which you prefer.

I'm going by the SA word and from of the j boys some were sent in as recent as last week and new version mecha in , my SA had mentioned that the 2013 cars should not have mecha failures also the ECU is tweaked,
You will notice DSG hardly engages in g1 straight too 2 especially in traffic,

Comparing my Jetta to a friends(June 2012) his had a higher torque to it, but last week sent in for mecha and new software now his ride exactly same as mine in terms of characteristic

SA confirmed new version mecha in

Unless SA pulling a fast one

Belakong win hing

don't click here if you just bought an mk7 tsi

I guess is different range/sub-class even within Golf model. For those who wants TSI or budget 150-160k
GTI is 200-220k
R is like 240-260k

Thanks for the info...

Feel want to change my beetle original 16 rim change to 17 rim..any suggestion? =)

the EA111 twincharge engine (super + turbo) is quite costly to produce...

so the EA211 loses the supercharger and with some tweaking, gain 10NM (but loses 20PS) more torque over the EA111 engine.
in terms of daily drive, this translate to more useable power as u get more torque... but because it loses the supercharger, u might and most possibly will experience more turbo lag when doing sudden hard acceleration...

of course in terms of high end rpm power, u will feel the 20PS deficit but then again, how often do u unleash the kraken? (sorry cant help it )
the ample low to mid range torque more then makes up for it...

btw to relate engine parts to gearbox reliability is plain bollocks... u can kindly proceed to b.i.a.t.c.h slap the people who tells u that...

How much is the 1.4 Beetle?

CKD Passat already in Malaysia since last year, RM170k.

Does mk7 tsi comes with driver profile selection?

" Eco, comfort, sports, individual " mode

Polo GTI having offer now ?

No it doesn't in Malaysia.

Yup.
Directly from Germany.
