test driven the jetta today. didnt seem as engaging as passat even though it should be a tad bit faster than passat on paper. theres one 2012 used jetta that has mileage less than 15k and comes with 3 times free services:

http://www.mudah.my/Volkswagen+Jetta+A+1+4+TSI-21132026.htm

is it too good to be true ? rm118k.

got offered 138k for 2012 model from FA Wagen. but seem like there are a few pre-reg 2013 jetta ads on mudah selling for rm132-136k. Does 2013 pre-reg has better value than 2012 new car ? I suppose the car depreciation of one more year is worse than being 2nd owner ? Or its the other way round ?

And also is it true that the infamous dsg/mechatronics/clutch pack/ failures happened most likely to 2011 and early 2012 batch of 1.4 TSI ? Are there similar cases happened to late 2012 or 2013 batch (might be too early to judge though) that anyone heard of ?

yes but sometimes i feel the 4 cylinder is kind of boring in terms of sound. the R32 V6 's sound is totally epic. 5 pots aint bad too.
You can always get a V8 instead hehehe

oh ya ka.. bring me to bmw tt too... brows.gif

aiyo my ride not that fast la.... dyno last time quite disappointing


maintenance.. changed so many things over the last year.. probably rm10-15k already sweat.gif timing belt,shocks,tires...7k
these two months.. many things gone wrong as well..... rm1.2k service, 900 for the stupid acond fan, fuel gauge kong need replace fuel pump rm780, luckily used if not rm12xx, tomorrow go workshop again for pcv valve....rm300..
acond compressor also gone...rm1.8k havent replaced yet......

basically...... engine oil just check every 3-5 weeks...usually eat more if highway run + high revving
cam follower.....just check at your workshop. before it will damage other parts
diverter valve....... symptoms are losing boost
pcv valve...... whining sound during idle and lost boost
acond compressor, fan, all d probs i faced la
if always kena hot sun, rooflining also can fall down
leather seat, many i saw in 7th gear are worn like no tomorrow
coil packs..... keep some spares in the boot, symptom is misfiring.
charcoal canister
dsg oil every 40-60k



sometimes felt like demodding a bit to cover. u want the R brakes? or kw V3 suspension? brows.gif

Yes and No!

No, as in it doesn't automatic fold for you when you lock your car..

Yes, as in you can fold your mirror when you twist your mirror control joystick wink.gif
