Just had my first 5k service outside the VW service center... Called them on Friday to ask if there's available slot for service but I was told that their appointments are full for the whole week so, just tried my luck and ask would it be okay to service outside VW SC? and the answer was "Oh, engine oil... can... no problem. Just make sure you come back before 15k first service".

So I went to VW SC to get the original parts (not sure issit expensive or not):

1 x plug - RM9
1 x washer - RM9
1 x oil filter - RM72
Total - RM90

That's all, no question asked. follow up by my own red line 5w40... Afterall, I'm quite satisfied with red line engine oil... really can feel the engine is smoother although it's just clocked at 5000 KM

Not too sure if I wanna try the Mobil 1 0w40 or Shell Helix 5w40 because its very cheap @ Tesco

guys, is it true that a car that manufactured in 2012 but first registered in 2013 still considered as 2013 car ? it still holds its RV same as 'year made2013/year registered 2013' right ?

can we do leather wrapping outside ourselves and do not affect warranty ? SA quoted 3200 for jetta.

Hi guys, I am considering Passat at the moment. I like to know if the CKD quality ok? The SA told me only minor parts like lights are assembled at the local plant, is that true? I also asked him about the gb problem and the SA acknowledged that by assuring me if that happen, it will be a 1 to 1 exchange as long as the warranty still valid and I followed the rules and regulations, that is service promptly and never late. Correct? I don't feel alright about such enforcement cos where's the joy of having vw? I don't want to be treated like a school kid and I need to always remind myself about the discipline!

Anyway, Passat is really a great car, I like the design, the space etc. But I am not convinced by the gb & warrant condition. I assume the rv of this car should be holding up well in line with camry, accord and better or not less than mazda 6?

Passat is a good choice for sure thumbup.gif if comparing to Camry and Accord smile.gif if i recalled i think around 40% would be locally.

Just service your car on time (before the 15,000 mark) and do your service in authorized VW center.

RM3200 discount is too low for last year car. Better get 2013, get RM1k discount & free tinting.

2012 manufactured car will be registered as 2012..no cheating on that... RV is based on year of manufactured
i think most are confuse especially with year end car... people usually refers to the car model year. EG: a 2013 model can be manufactured in 2012.

most manufacturer be it car or any other product starts production for next year model at end of the year at the factory so that they make it into the showroom b4 the new year start.

for this case, alot of the last year dec VW cars are actually 2013 model with minor improvement to the specs.
example 2013 jetta model have 3 aircon dial vs the 2012 model only 2 dial. but both can be manufactured in year 2012

VW models (i.e. new/facelift/whatever) are mid-year to mid-year. e.g 2013 model is from July-2012 until June-2013.

Cars are manufactured all year round. A car manufactured in Dec 2012, can be a 2013 model. But when it reach our shore, customs, and then get registered, it maybe Jan 2013 already.

Hence, this car is known as: Manufactured 2012, Registered 2013.

But if this car is stuck somewhere for long time, let's say Feb 2014 only customs release... then
Manufactured 2012, Registered 2014 - 2 years gone.

Go ahead to buy the Passat.. It's a awesome car for sure.. The feel of driving a European brand car is much different than Japan car smile.gif
