I want to get the Golf GTI, but still can't decide if I should get this or wait for the mk7.

Some of the rumors of what will be in the Golf GTI mk7 is really tempting...

It has wide range of models to cater to different target market

PETALING JAYA: Volkswagen Group Malaysia Sdn Bhd (VGM) is optimistic about the outlook of the local automotive industry despite the tightening of loan approvals which is causing a slowdown in new vehiclesales.

“Malaysia has the highest number of passenger cars on the road in Asean. It remains the biggest passenger car market in the region with the highest demand. With more than 600,000 vehicles sold in 2011, the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) had forecast a 2.5% increase in vehicle sales volume in 2012,” said VGM managing director Ricky Tay in an e-mail.

“With these figures in mind, Volkswagen is looking at a very robust 2012,” he added.

An analyst from a local bank-backed brokerage said he was upbeat about VGM's sales performance for this year.

“Those who go for brands like Volkswagen comprise a discerning group of individuals and should have no problems securing loans to purchase such vehicles.”

Meanwhile, Tay said: “Volkswagen is in a unique situation as compared with other industry players as we have a wide portfolio of Volkswagen models to cater to different target consumers.”

Most car companies are reporting a slowdown in sales since the implementation ofthe responsible lending guidelines, which came into effect since Jan 1.

Under the new rules, loans are now approved based on net income compared with gross income previously. The new guidelines are intended to help manage the household debt in Malaysia to reasonable levels.

According to the MAA, total vehicle sales slipped 6.3% to 47,736 units in April this year from 50,936 units in the previous corresponding period.Year-to-date April sales fell 11% to 186,280 units from 209,368 units a year earlier.

MMA said vehicle sales volume was expected to improve this month due to introduction of new models.

Tay confirmed that VGM would be launching a new model soon, although he declined to go into specifics.

“Volkswagen will be launching a face-lift of a current model within the next one month,” he said.

It learnt that the next model to be launched would be the Volkswagen CC, a four-door coupe version of the Passat. Market talk suggests that the Volkswagen CC could be launched as early as next week.

VGM recorded a 162% jump in sales to over 7,300 units last year making it the leading European brand in Malaysia.

Tay said the sales increase was primarily due to high consumer response to the Polo 1.2TSI and the Golf 1.4TSI.

the claimed figures for FC, as with other manufacturers, are too optimistic.

7.9L/100KM is official figure for mk5, i only got 10.2L/100km for a long average. not sure when i reset that, maybe since 3 years ago. at least for 1 year lah. if cruising 90-110kph; get around 7.7-8.4L/100km; still way off the 5.9L/100 claimed.

someone with the Golf R got 13L/100km when his previous MK5 GTI Stage2+ getting 10L/100km on the same road.

Agree on this.

It also depends on what kind of road and traffic jam you stuck in.

In my case, similiar KL city centre jam daily, I'm getting 10.5L/100km for the initial first few thousand KM run.
After further continous manual data logging with some highway cruise run, I'm down to 9.68L/100km now.

Compare to my previous manual 1.5L car (don't think auto can beat manual in jam, unless is hybrid like Prius), the overall average is 7.67L/100km

Similiar driving style.

I always stuck in traffic jam, I can say 90% stuck in LDP jam + 10% highway & my average consumption is about 12L/100km.

eh why la, which model you are getting? the FC is quite good since VW mostly has turbo with good low end torque, coupled with transmission that is efficient, less loss like in autos

eh why la, which model you are getting? the FC is quite good since VW mostly has turbo with good low end torque, coupled with transmission that is efficient, less loss like in autos

ohh man.. so blur.. edited liao paiseh paiseh.. doh.gif

Use fuelly.com to track your FC.
Otherwise, everytime refill, just write down the Date, ODO, RM and RM/L (1.90 Ron95) on a small piece of paper or 555.

since you mentioned alignment, for those who does your alignment at Exquisite Marques or at some premium Sunway Pyramid SC.

Does the technician drive your car 1 round around his workshop/area after the alignment and balancing is done to do testing?

Just now i went to exoticmods to check for golf r tail light. He said the price now has increased to 2.4k, previously was 2.2k. This is due to shortage of stock. And I have to wait till new stock arrives if i want it because currently there's no more stock there.
But then he said however if i want the taiwan one that one they have ready stock. Its just rm1.3k. I asked what's the difference n he said they look exactly the same but just that its made in taiwan so maybe the quality is quite low compared to the ori one.
He showed me some pictures of the ori n the taiwan one, i couldnt even differenciate them. So i want to ask if anyone here can explain what's the difference between the taiwan n the ori one, n is it worth it if i take the taiwan one? Both of them got 1 year warranty.

this is the picture of taiwan golf r tail light that he showed me. any difference?

I chipped the paint at the bottom tip of the door when it hit some concrete. The color is United Grey. Should I buy some paint to touch up myself (if so where do I get the paint?) or can go to any car paint shop to touch up?

The chipped area is around the size of a watermelon seed. Thanks.

Well according to Fuelly, my FC is 11.3L/100km

I was expecting a little bit better on my first fuel up but I guess it can't be helped since I was literally stuck in traffic for an hour or more for at least twice this week.

I'm very sure you are poisoned now.
I had the same experience. Was driving Kenari previously.
Hand itchy went to test drive a Polo, man that little puny car can corner at 170kmph and still rock solid, totally planted.

Over the next few days, I test drove Golf TSI and again Polo TSI.

Now happily driving one VW smile.gif

Have you tested Polo?
Go try.

Personally, pickup wise, I feel Polo is more responsive when you step the pedal, and Golf is slightly slower (this could be less than a second) and perhaps this is due to Golf being slightly heavier.

Figure wise, Golf did 0-100 in 8 seconds while Polo did it in 9 second plus.
Hence, the feeling above is just feel rather than actual fact.

However, there's few things about Golf that makes you should consider it instead of Polo.
Xenon Headlights, auto rain sensor, auto headlights, bigger boot, rear air conditioning, automated side mirror and auto folding.

Go compare the brochure side by side and suddenly you will realize Polo features is slightly less, although that is something you ought to live with, as the price difference is a lot.

I won't ask you to pick which one, but I'll ask you consider finance and ask yourself what do you want!
Go test it both again smile.gif

Edit: Oh ya, Golf has a front parking sensor and Polo doesn't
I can estimate but still I would prefer some sensor to help me to maximize the space in front and behind the car to the max, rather than keep asking myself, eh can go forward more or not?

Myvi full tank about RM60 right? Ron 95?
My car full tank RM80, Ron 95. I am easily getting above 500km full tank. Once reached 600++km mixture of 60% highway and normal road.
Left with a little more than quarter tank just now, done 450km, should get around 550 - 580km this time smile.gif

I have seen some fella doing 700++km and some claiming 900++km (with photos). However while it is achievable, it is not easy to do so, realistically you can expect 450 to 650km, depending on where you are driving and your driving style smile.gif

why no passat 1.8  cry.gif

jetta 1.4 same as gofl 1.4?

same engine, but somehow for jetta must remove ECU first. the stock jetta is already pretty powerful

btw, noob Q, stage 1 remap does not require component upgrades right?
for stage 2, what are the compulsory components / parts upgrades?
eg. SSBH...etc..?
*
stage 1 only remap
stage 2 must add downpipe, intake is recommended but not compulsory. SSBH/brakes/suspension are not compulsory, but a welcome upgrade
stage 2+ with HPFP upgrade
stage 3 turbo upgrade; K04 etc

QUOTE(Xirality @ Jul 21 2012, 11:09 PM)
just test drive VW Golf. That power is crazy! What surprise me is the engine only 1.4cc and my City 1.5cc is not that powerful. The dashboard etc quality is second to none, top notch!
*
polo's acceleration will feel much more powerful than city 1.5L, even 1.6 or 1.8L NA cars.
the city is very slow for low speed pickup. toyota's vios/avanza is much better.
the 1.2 and 1.4 engine from VW is powerful because it's turbocharged(1.2L/1.8L/2.0L) and twincharged(1.4L)

hows the FC??

currently pakai-ing myvi 1.3... approx 10L/100km

10L/100km for myvi? blink.gif thats damn bad. my daily savvy is around 5L/100km.

QUOTE(Mavik @ Jul 22 2012, 12:41 AM)
The turbo and supercharger makes the 1.4 engine a little more alive. I have driven that engine without the turbo and supercharger, and its extra super duper slow!

limp mode? haha. should have dynoed that car to know how much the 1.4NA engine is producing tongue.gif
and i wouldnt say "a little more" hmm.gif

I'm very sure you are poisoned now.
I had the same experience. Was driving Kenari previously.
Hand itchy went to test drive a Polo, man that little puny car can corner at 170kmph and still rock solid, totally planted.

Over the next few days, I test drove Golf TSI and again Polo TSI.

Now happily driving one VW smile.gif
*
Wah take corners at 170km/h with polo. I've not tried taking a corner with my golf above 120. But then there're many types of corners. Or are you driving a Polo GTI with stiffer suspension? I do feel quite a bit of body roll in a corner with Golf TSI.

Worked out your finances? Make sure the figure is a comfortable amount you are willing to pay then can liao lo.

Tyre prices: about rm550+ to 600+++ change at least once a year if heavy usage or 2 if average
Service cost: about 700+ to 800+, major about 2k++
FC: can surely hit 600km at least, for a car this size, considered good liao
DSG issues: doesn't seem to affect Passat units so far, some problems reported by CC owners but from older batches. Forum swimming through hundreds of posts between VAGSG and VAGMY to understand what I was buying and what problem I may have to put up with and fortunately no major issues for now.

Nothing stopping you from getting the car already what, all the info is there

BMW and Mercedes will cost you 1k+ each time you go in friend. I looked at the C200FL and F30 before I bought my Passat what so I know what to expect. Major services easily 2k to 3k+++. Oh and the f30 uses run flats and those cost like 1.6k to 2k a piece. If you change in SG then much cheaper as they sell the same run flats there for 615SGD, even after exchange rate of 2.51. laugh.gif

FC is good already considering I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for at 2hours + at least for the whole of last week. And the car is new, engine still not run in yet, you expecting miracles?

The longer you wait, the more you won't buy one. If safe buy, just accept rip off prices and just go Camry lo

F30 still got run flat meh? hmm.gif I tot they eliminate after customer complain. now run as option. BTW, run flat veli noisy 1. but can get extra mileage compare regular tyre.

c class =regular 600+ - 800+ nia. each 12k km only la. Major yes like air cond = 2.6k all service at 60k km
But.. those were luxury car class service level.

eh... true also passat heavier than c class. FC abit higher.

Not complaining, just doing research nia brows.gif
Regular service using mineral oil ? or fully? if 15k km, I think is fully

hi,

I know the car does not have spare tyre.
When collecting the car the SA said there is no tyre repair kit also because the tyre they spray the self sealing thingy. Is it true?
Otherwise really enjoying the car.

kekekeke, not sharp 90 degre or 180 degree corners, those high speed corners that you can take at 150 above if you take your line properly (provided no car behind and in front of you).
That was tried on a test drive Polo, which amazed me to the max.

As for my own PGTI, I only take at 110 or 120, got no balls yet to push to the max tongue.gif

The SA at both Hap Seng Star and C&C Bintang told me (actually 2 SA) - my first service is going to cost me around RM900++ for the C200FL. The subsequent services could cost less but I highly doubt it.

C&C ipoh
for W204 yr2008 model = 1st service 685.99. 2nd service 846.69 and so on all below 1k until 60k km ODO.

I can't said other branch beside ipoh but should be standard rate.

oh, they use Mobil 1 engine oil. drool.gif

That why I need to know the VW service is reasonable price. Like umw service is out of the world.

30k km = 1200++ shakehead.gif and you don't have spare car or pick up for you service like merc. I would paid double but is 12k km instead of 5k km that why long run maintanence would the diff. and also Germany car parts are last longer compare jap / korean.

Aiseyman.... you initally quoted cc , so i thought you wanted to know about the new cc. anyways, for the PASSAT , my ex boss bought it and he said the FC was ok but normal city driving is a bit high. My friend did say that his his PASSAT suspension is a bit firm , especially for passengers compared to the 508. (He did extensive test drive on both models, and finally decided on PASSAT bcos the wife made final decision...LOL) No major complaints heard so far on PASSAT.

Hey guys, I'm looking to get the Golf GTI.

Looking for advice on 2 items:

1) My SA offering me 2% discount, just wondering is that standard or can maybe push for more? But I must book before end of this month.

2) Showroom say can do tinting on 3 brands only: Vkool/3M/Llumar. However, I'm a bit more interested in Huper Optik. Just wondering for those that have installed HO, what is their experience on workmanship etc (pls say which shop you brought to)?

do be reminded, 7 speed DSG is rated to run below 250nm & 6 speed DSG is 350nm

current passat is 6 gear right? hmm.gif
I heard new DSG support 400nm already? Audi A4 B8 will use it?

Any Passat owners did the remap ? ABT have any solution ? Any advices ?

there are different variant of 7 speed DSG tranny..
DQ200 for max torque of 250Nm and DQ500 for max torque 500Nm
frosti3 is right.. the 6 speed DSG code name DQ250 can only handle max torque of 350Nm.

fitting a Polo's DSG into Audi TT-RS for sure to be "end of the day"...

Well, he's (my SA) is arranging the fitting for me. I even got to pick the colour (I went with black leather on a black car). I asked him via SMS and I have in effect a written record saying that it will not void warranty. I haven't taken the delivery of the car yet so I don't know how that will affect it. I'm purchasing my car from Cergaz near Penchala Link there.

same engine, but somehow for jetta must remove ECU first. the stock jetta is already pretty powerful

stage 1 only remap
stage 2 must add downpipe, intake is recommended but not compulsory. SSBH/brakes/suspension are not compulsory, but a welcome upgrade
stage 2+ with HPFP upgrade
stage 3 turbo upgrade; K04 etc

Thanks for the update bro. laugh.gif good to know stage 1 no need modification.

Curios, why jetta need to remove ECU ?

Tuners will replace with another ECU for the remapping ? if not, how does it work?

i have written confirmation, from what I understand is happening is that the fabric seat covers are being removed and leather covers with the side airbag portion being specially weakened for use with side airbag are being used. like how proper leather seats are done.

September is the time the golf mk7 gets revealed in the 2012 Paris car show, not the time they start selling it. Even Europe will have to wait until end of year or beginning of 2013. And if the trend follows, GTI usually gets launched later (for mk6 it's a year later I think), correct me if I'm wrong. Not trying to be a wet towel, just want to give you a more realistic estimate on when you can get your hands on the car whichever channel you're going for.

Anyway PKR is pledging to abolish car tax if they're voted. I just got my car for a month lol. Crap. I hope existing car owners get some sort of tax refund on the taxes we paid for the cars.

1.4 selling at 160k seems reasonable as Golf 1.4 is also fall in that range.

Still can't understand why scirocco cost 188k? Still 1.4.. If the beetle is about 160k, then Rocco is really overpriced... :-(

-:Edited:-
you mentioned the ECU for Jetta must be removed..
below is the reason right?

Quoting Mavik in another thread.:
Note that not all cars can just be easily loaded into the ECU via a program. VW lately has been doing a lot of security measures which requires the ECU to be removed and benched (e.g. taking out the ECU, remove the tamper safe screws and then direct mapping there). The removal of the tamper safe screws is obvious to the dealers to know that the ECU has been tampered with.

in UK golf GTI is about 18k, Scirocco is about 20k which is 10% diff.

I think this is correct price for VW malaysia

Scirocco at 188k is overpriced, Singapore's Scirocco 1.4 is selling cheaper than Golf 1.4

everywhere else , the roc is cheaper than the golf.

in MY it is the tax structure.

But if beetle 1.4 is selling below RM188,888 then must be:
a) tax structure for beetle vs roc is different? I tot both are 2 doors and tagged as a coupe in MY?
b) roc is priced at RM188,888 because VGM marked up the coupe higher to make is more expensive ?
I know the CIF price it is so damn bluddy low, most of the VW owners here can buy a few units without batting an eye. But at 188k... doh.gif shyt!
c) Beetle is priced lower to attract more buyers? or VGM just make lesser profit off this model.

Anyway, we still do not know the actual selling price , so it is just ranting based on some hearsay at this point.

The above are just my personal view. Dun flame me ya laugh.gif

Maybe, Beetle 1.4 selling 160k for a few months then later increase price again just like PGTI... brows.gif hahaha
this is Boleh land, anything can happen. rclxms.gif

Anyway PKR is pledging to abolish car tax if they're voted. I just got my car for a month lol. Crap. I hope existing car owners get some sort of tax refund on the taxes we paid for the cars.

Still can't understand why scirocco cost 188k? Still 1.4.. If the beetle is about 160k, then Rocco is really overpriced...  :-(

Paultan Beetle
http://paultan.org/2012/07/26/volkswagen-b...the-bug-lineup/

"Closer to home, the Beetle is set to make its Malaysian debut in September, on the 6th. Back in May, an ad for the 2012 Beetle was spotted on oto.my, with two engine options listed, the aforementioned 1.2 TSI and 1.4 TSI variants; estimated pricing in the ad had pricing starting from RM138,888, this being for the 1.2 TSI."

if 1.2TSI for 138,888 .. very unlikely the 1.4TSI selling 160k... maybe 165k to 170k? Beetle likely cater for niche market rather than mass

if beetle 1.2 tsi 138,888 that's like polo 1.2 tsi 108,888 + 30k
so i'm guessing if 1.4 tsi, it's gonna be about the same as rocco lol

No push start or electronic seat.

The difference in torque and HP is the same as between Golf TSI and Golf GTI. On paper it looks like not much difference, but the power delivery feels very different. Test drive both to appreciate smile.gif

Yeah it kinda sucks that it doesn't come with those or even leather seats.

But VW's strong point is not accessories. It's the TSI engine, the DSG gearbox and the quality finishing.

No definitely not buying or won't be buying because of push start but just tht according to now, most of the car alreay filled with push start button, and electronic seat especially at this point of price..

Just feel a bit wasted... Other concern also electronic seat might be a little tricky as scirocco only have 2 doors, fetching additional people willl need to forward n backward seat so electronic better o not?

2.0 is best but out of budget.. 60k additional with additional Hp, electronic seat, leather seat, better entertainment unit (rcd510)...

Any 1.4 tsi scirocco owner can share some pict of interior... Couldn't search much thru Internet as different countries have different specs...

Thanks a lot ..

Hi all VW owners/fans...

I'm planning to get second hand passat 2.0T FSI but still wondering about its mantainance, reliable or common problems occurs? any one here have any experience from owning or drive it?

From my googling, found out the engine tends to make annoying noise like a diesel engine (TDI engine if i'm not mistaken), NVH almost at par with luxury car, and it have 200bhp under the hood.

Hope experts in here can share their experience and opinion some more,,,,tq notworthy.gif

fyi for those who's gonna dyno, u'll most likely get error codes on ABS if u check in VCDS
as usually dyno is only moving your front wheels, rear wheels won't be moving hence ABS will detect there's no motion on your rears

My SA said it's a safety feature to prevent too much carbon dioxide built-up in the car (prevent drowsiness) by letting fresh air in. There may be a CO2 sensor built into our cars to detect CO2 levels in the car cabin.

Bro, do you mean e90 m3 or e60 m5 sweat.gif

anyway.. i did saw a review, the old golf r32 comparable to bmw 135i ..
Golf R need to tune up quite alot (might need to change to DQ500 tranny or manual stick) to muscle with E60 M5 500bhp and 520Nm torque sweat.gif

No matter how fast or how quick your car is, there is always something out there that is faster, or someone with more testosterone.

u can surprise the car in tighter roads or town driving. the e60 M5 is peaky car. need to rev only the power will come. but once the power come, gg.
btw the Mk5 R32 is not that fast speedwise.. only buy it for the V6 sound,AWD and exclusivity smile.gif
stage 1 GTI can smoke R32 Mk5 already.

E60 M5 not golf gti league la bro. no need to compare.. theres always a car faster like r3kahsttub said.
but u can surprise the m5 at lower town speeds. the e60 m5 is quite sluggish at lower speeds.
once masuk highway, bye bye already.
but a stage 2 GTI can match E46 m3 until u reach very high speed. stage 3 GTI, around 280-300whp and 400-450Nm, on wheel. not sure about golf R stage 3 though

Yeah true bro, unless you drive a Bugatti Veyron, there's always something faster than what you have. Check out this video just for the fun of it. Lamborghini Aventador will remain my ultimate dream car.

Thats true, no 1 car that can rule the road forever.

Had my fun ride on MEX the other day in my colleague's golf tsi. Hitting 220 was possible at a few downhill but constant 160 was the best. Best 5 mins so far in my driving experience. Hopefully when my passat comes it'll be equally good with the similar performance specs.

Any1 had enquired about changing to the DQ500 g/box ? Thinking to re-map to upgrade my passat probably. sweat.gif

Hi guys, need some advice here.

Finally bought my Golf 1.4 Tsi. It is 5 days old. Just wanted to ask a few questions to those who know/owners:

1. How long do you wait before you start your engine? I usually wait until the lights go off, (the ones which are supposed to go off) then start.

2. After starting, how long do you wait before you start to drive? I usually wait until the RPM drops below 1000, around 800, coolant 90 and oil temperature around 60 or so. (Takes around 90 seconds for the RPM thing, usually time taken to unfold the sun shade, put my phone on the seat, set radio etc)

3. I love the light bending auto test once the car is started. But I worry about the motor so I turned it off. I know the lights are built that way, but I just care about it too much so I switched the bending lights off. Recommended or not?

4. I love the coming home/leaving home function, but again, I worry it will affect the battery. So now I have turned them off as well. Is it advisable? Can anyone please share their experiences and recommendations?

5. I have my radio set to hitz/fly/red fm as my first 3 channels. When I press next on my steering wheel, it goes from hitz to era fm. When I reset era to fly fm, it stays. Then I select hitz and press next on my steering wheel again, it goes to era fm. What is going on and why? I noticed it is set and always defaults back to hitz/era/fly/redfm/some malay station etc etc. No matter how many times I reset the era fm, it always defaults back to era. Please help..

Many thanks guys. Btw I have 520km and my tank is only half. Really impressed with it's fuel consumption. Then again, the fastest I have driven is 140km/h. (90% highway 10% town) SA told me to take it easy until the millage reaches at least 1500km.

Any comments/suggestions from users personal opinions are VERY MUCH appreciated, thanks.

1. My usual practise is turn ignition to on, let the ABS orange-light goes off, then crank it.

2. Engine idle waiting time minimum 5 sec, maximum 20 seconds. Switch MFD to oil temperature. Drive below 2.5k with light foot until oil temperature reach >80°C (about 12-17 minutes). By then, water temperature already reach optimum 90°C already.

3. Personal preference. Up to you. I keep the switch at off, because park in basement and I don't want the headlights to turn on before I crank the engine.

4. Personal preference. Up to you. I leave it at default, just the side mirror lights only.

5. Read the radio manual. Otherwise after reset era to fly, do you try press and hold that button on the radio for 3-5 seconds to "programme" it ?

6. Highway cruising run will have good mileage. Good for your 90% highway.
Mine is near 100% KL city centre with daily traffic jam.

Thanks for your reply,

1. Agreed
2. Yours only takes 20 secs? The engine idle for mine takes almost close to 1 minute
3. TOTALLY AGREE! Same reason for me here!
4. I find it cool, but I worry about battery life, sigh.
5. I did, and it's so sickening. Tried everything I can think of, plus read the manuals. Might have to ask the SA.
6. I drive about 50km to work, and 50km back everyday highway. I love the auto cruise wink.gif

1. Additional info. There should not be issue to crank immediate, but just my own feel-good-factor to wait for the ABS to off.

2. No. I mean, I don't wait / idle my car. I'm the start, ready, go type. But of course, I'll drive slowly at low RPM for the initial 10-15 minutes or until the temperature is >80°C.

3. Also, I go under tunnel / trees / intersection bridges, I don't want the Auto-switch to auto on/off the headlights every now and then. Sometimes syiok sendiri, only manual switch to DRL.

4. Should be no issue with default bulbs. If you take note, the front footwell-lights also same.

5. Yeah, ask SA is the fastest option. Same with me when want to set the low-volume-radio during reverse. Default it switched off the radio. My SA guide me and immediately done.

6. My to-and-fro is 26-27km only tongue.gif

Many thanks guys. Btw I have 520km and my tank is only half. Really impressed with it's fuel consumption. Then again, the fastest I have driven is 140km/h. (90% highway 10% town) SA told me to take it easy until the millage reaches at least 1500km.

Any comments/suggestions from users personal opinions are VERY MUCH appreciated, thanks.

If you love those features, my advise is to enjoy those features as it comes with the car and you have already paid the price for it. You should not worry about battery life, etc. Otherwise, you might as well get a cheaper car without those premium features. And most production cars are already run in before it goes to the showrooms. Again, do not be afraid to rev your car. I went 200kmh the first week i got my car. It's a Golf, enjoy it!

Don't know man, SA told me continental cars depreciate approx 10% of it's selling price every year. So if you decide to sell it after 5 years, that's 50% gone! Wow shocking.gif

Hmm, then it is free after 10 years? cannot be ...

Shouldn't be as follow: -
say RM150,000 - 1st year
RM 135,000 - 2nd year
RM 121,500 - 3rd year
RM 109,350 - 4th year
RM 98,415 - 5th year

I said approx 10%

Approx = approximately

Meaning of approximately is this: Almost exact or correct

Not exact okay? It's just a rough figure my SA gave me so I have a rough idea of the value. It doesn't mean the car will be free after 10 years.

Omg, I can't think of any one who would logically think that way doh.gif

RM135 for 2 year old Golf TSi ? You won't be able to sell at that price. To my surprise though many VW OTR but its resale value just that there to behold. Sad but truth.


Added on August 1, 2012, 9:29 pmI was surprise too that its value drops rather fast may be because of its 7 speed DSG issues that plagues so many of them ?

If there's not much an maintenance issue, I will keep Golf forever. Just like Beetle ...

I ask about the resale value as my Toyota Altis depreciate approx. 50% after six years.

You missed his illustration entirely. He was pinpointing to you that the 10% depreciation should apply on the previous year's resale value. i.e. 3rd year resale value is roughly 2nd year resale value * 90% rather than 10% depreciation based on the car's original price. Hence 5 years later the car does not depreciate 50% but only around 40%.

BravoZeroTwo, 2nd year means 1-year old car, as Mavik has commented...

Even BMW and Mercedes depreciates a lot in value, and what more a VW?

From my research, only Mercedes is able to hold its resale value better than all its luxury marque rivals.

Best to take 3 to 5 year loans if possible, sell the car off by 4 years and at least you should be able to get maximum amount of money back for the next upgrade.

1. Additional info. There should not be issue to crank immediate, but just my own feel-good-factor to wait for the ABS to off.

2. No. I mean, I don't wait / idle my car. I'm the start, ready, go type. But of course, I'll drive slowly at low RPM for the initial 10-15 minutes or until the temperature is >80°C.

3. Also, I go under tunnel / trees / intersection bridges, I don't want the Auto-switch to auto on/off the headlights every now and then. Sometimes syiok sendiri, only manual switch to DRL.

4. Should be no issue with default bulbs. If you take note, the front footwell-lights also same.

5. Yeah, ask SA is the fastest option. Same with me when want to set the low-volume-radio during reverse. Default it switched off the radio. My SA guide me and immediately done.

6. My to-and-fro is 26-27km only  tongue.gif 
Maybe RM72.00  rolleyes.gif  Some countries use opposite for decimal and comma.  laugh.gif

saw your post in vw forum. haha dude thats no kopitiam man.

btw, battery life on newer VWs has quite short life span. only about 1 year. many has replaced under warranty. all those lights, on radio while engine off etc are not doing any good for the battery lifespan. my mk5 battery still can use after 2.5 years. battery on BMWs last very long, up to 4-5 years, as it is located at the back of the car. which means less heat. heat is the enemy of battery lifespan.

hey guys,
anyone know where is a good place to redo upholstery for Eos?
As you know the Eos sometimes leaks water into the cabin,and when it drips onto the door upholstery, it will "kopek".

Agree. My battery also died in just 11 months! Also bear in mind that Turbo engines generate more heat and hence it will affect the battery life span. Anyway, its under warranty, so just claim! But i think the battery warranty is only 2 years?

Before the 2 years, drain out the battery. Left everything on in the car hehe

also, the ori battery cost RM1200 or more, while another cheaper one that does the job similarly(but slightly shorter lifespan if im not wrong) around RM400. better change before it dies, being stranded definitely sucks

to Polo Sports owners, what is the tyre pressure that you pump for your tyres?

as shown at the fuel cap, the recommended at cold are
- low load - F 32psi / R 29psi
- high load - F 35psi / R 38psi rclxub.gif

read somewhere states that slightly inflated tyres for highway as well as improve FC..
For me, usually drive alone , 70% highway..

which scirocco engine are talking about? 1.4 tsi, 2.0 tsi, 2.0 R or the 2.0 TDI?
http://www.topgear.com/uk/volkswagen/scirocco/verdict

While the 197bhp 2.0T engine might be broadly the same as the GTI's, the torque arrives earlier, making it seem quicker (though it hits 62mph in 7.2s, the same as the Golf). It's a bit inert when you really start to go mental, but you still come away with the sense that if you had to have a car that spans a multitude of situations, the Scirocco would be it.

Since the 1.4TSI comes with Volkswagen's 'Twincharger' system (meaning it boasts both a supercharger and turbocharger), it's lively and responsive despite it's diminutive size.

The 2.0TDI is fast-revving and punchy and sounds pretty rorty too. Not as clean and sweet as the petrol, but not rattly and never strained either.

The 260bhp 2.0 in the R feels punchier than the 197bhp You can feel the extra oomph, and yes, it is empirically really very quick indeed (0-62mph in 6s and 155mph) but most of the time, the noise and the power delivery is lacking that little extra something. And that something is joy.

Guys,

Silly question here but I dunno where should I post this question...pardon me if this is the wrong place.

Nway I will most probably taking up a new position in mid east in 3 months time. Just wanna ask how and where is the best method / place to sell my scirocco 1.4?

I got it brand new on 5 Jan 2011, white colour, 42k mileage n the only problem was battery died within 9 months which was replaced wh a higher power output battery under warranty claim. As for the rest no problems whatsoever.

What is the market price now roughly? Too bad I may need to let it go as I won't be using it for the next 3years at least. Nway I use the word may need to let it go because just waiting for the offer letter wink.gif touchwood no intervention or problem wh my offer letter wink.gif

Thanks for your help guys!

Thats the price quoted from the dealer, most of the time, prices from the dealers are usually quite high.

i recalled TOP GEAR reviewed the scirocco before and it was bad...underpowered and the price do not justify it

Yeah it was the Scirocco diesel at the time. They have plenty of diesel variants for the Scirocco over there from the 3-cylinder diesel to the 2.0 TDI variant.

I've a problem, my tyre pressure gauge lit up (not blinking) but I've looked at the tyres, doesnt look like any of the tyres look flat or low pressure. Any advise on what I should do? The check tyre gauge is still lit up after I start the engine again after about an hour from engine off.
*
First, check the manual on how to reset the tyre pressure monitoring system (if any).

Just for comparison, my friend's car (non VW) tyre pressure warning comes out. Bring to petrol station to pump all 4x tyres. Found the rear-right is 160 kpa only, suspect it, but just refill first to 230 kpa, and check again tomorrow.
Tomorrow, check again, go down to 180 kpa. Confirm lah, send in tyre shop and found a nail on the inner side.

By looking at it, there is not much difference on the tyre height and sidewall.

My advise is, either do check and monitor yourself, or bring to tyre shop immediately, or VW SC.

Dear VW owners,

I am trying to buy a 2nd hand Passat CC of less than 1 year old (boss' friend is letting go) with 10K mileage. Need to get some advice

1. What should I take note of the car apart from whether it has involved in any form of accident?

2. How much "discount" should I ask for comparing with a new car given the above condition? If the guy bought it for 250K, should I nego for 20% or 30% off the original price for a 1 year old car?

3. If the owner smoke inside the car, is there anyway we could eliminate the smoking odour?

Thanks for some advice

chassis is most important. other factor also a need to consider. take a trust mechanic of yours to check it out.

2. How much "discount" should I ask for comparing with a new car given the above condition? If the guy bought it for 250K, should I nego for 20% or 30% off the original price for a 1 year old car?
-it depend market value as well

3. If the owner smoke inside the car, is there anyway we could eliminate the smoking odour?
- put A lot of charcoal for 1 week or so.

nice write up... i think there is one more key diff between the polo and the polo sport which is the ESP button..
not sure does the previous polo has it but polo sport is equiped with ESP.. nod.gif

got to know from another forum, an owner upgrade his 15" lakeside to 17" boavista and FC sacrifies more than 10%.. although the polo sport might not be as frugal as before, but it looks sportier and handles better around corners..

Overall, the 5k upgrade is great.. i like the 2 din audio and arm rest..

cheers..

Getting a Polo Sport soon, test drive twice at diff showrooms and love it so much! Both SA at the showrooms (222 & TTDI) were also kind and helpful.

Now I'm just undecided which color to take, Black (available now) or Red (coming Sept batch) rclxub.gif

Hi I have a few questions to ask regarding my golf gti.

1. How to change the display from mph to kmph? I know i've read about this somewhere but i couldn't find it.

2. I've been driving my golf gti for 3 months now n my mileage is almost 8000km. I know the 1st service is due at 15000km, but should i change my engine oil anyway before i go for a long drive back to my hometown (terengganu) for raya?

3. Since i read some people complaining about the battery, should i go n put on a battery stabilizer? Will it void the warranty? And what does it do actually, does it make much difference?

4. Mine is golf gti 2012 model so it comes with stock 18" detroit rims. If i want to change to new rims, where can i sell my current ones? And around how much can i sell them for?

Thanks in advance smile.gif

- charcoal as advised. But use those old traditional log style charcoal. Not those processed BBQ cylindrical type. Get the 3-5kg packs, open the top packaging, put in a box.

- put pandan leaves. Take as much as you can, wash and clean it, let it dry. Then put the green colour inside car for 1-2 weeks, or until the leaves turn brown. Some may not like that smell, but it'll go away after you throw it.

- put plenty of car freshner or old perfume. Also, those Thirsty Hippo type, got one which has charcoal-filter also.

I was quoted RM1700+ for RichCool (6 mil) or RM2300+ for HuperOptic (4 mil). Both are antiheat+antibreak..

Could be just a single turbocharged 1.4 without the supercharger. They are already using this engine on the current Golf Mk6 just that in Malaysia we don't have that option.

Friend, very expensive man

Even TTDI 3M authorized dealer only quote me 2k for Crystalline + Crystalline security film 6mm sides while the Kota Damansara 3M branch also only quote me 1.9k at the most for the same thing. If your car is a Golf/Sirocco, it should be even cheaper!

Nice drive, comfortable, nice interior although there are some hard plastics. Aside from some annoying rattling from time to time, otherwise a good car.

What it does not have compared to some of its rivals (Japanese/Europeans)

- Keyless Entry and Smart Start System (Key push, not key turn)
- Tire pressure monitoring system
- Full Electric seats (semi-electric)
- Electric folding windows (it's manual)
- Solar and Security film
- Panoramic Roof

Go test drive to get a good feel of the car

LOL, that's a lot better than what I got. I got less than 1% and no tint, but they gave me a high trade in value for my car.

Forget about the free tinting, just do it outside on your own. For sure they will never give you good quality tint if they do it for you.

Polo Sedan @ 99k, i think its abit too pricy for the plain specs.. a lot of hard plastics interior..
performance equivalent probably like Ford Fiesta which is 16k cheaper comes with 1.6L (122PS), 6 speed dualclutch.. and Polo Sedan 1.6L (105PS), 6 speed Auto.. Fiesta has better feature and package overall IMHO..

Unless the Polo Sedan can be priced below 90k, or remain 99k but add more specs.. other than that I would rather get a Polo Sport..

Saw a lot of Polo Sedan in mudah.my selling below 90k.. wonder what is the deal.. hmm.gif

cheers...

I just went for a test drive in a Scirocco 2.0 TSi. This is a demo car at VW Jln Ipoh and they're selling it for RM224k. It's got 4000+km on it.

I thought it was a fine car but I didn't like the way the throttle takes a second to react in slow traffic . Must be the DSG. And the DSG didn't feel as smooth as the one on a test GTI I tried previously. Could be a bit worn out from all the demo-ing but I could be wrong.

If anyone's interested, they've got a demo Scirocco R for sale too. RM260k+.

Same issue, about the way the throttle takes a second to react in slow traffic. I guess it's a DSG thing, My friend on the mk5 gti commented the same. Few other friends on the mk6 gti and tsi also commented the same even after software update.

It takes a little getting used to I guess, might be a flaw, but overall still an awesome car to me. wink.gif

Hm, I just bought a Golf Tsi one week plus, only 1100km on it. So far loving every bit of it except the 1st and 2nd gear slow reaction especially moving from a red traffic light.

No issues at all from the radio, mine works perfectly. Not tinted (yet) although I'm not sure if tinting will affect radio reception.

Might wanna check with sc? Mine's 101% fine.

Actually it has nothing to do with the DSG gearbox. It is due to the fact now that your foot pedal is electronic, not like your usual fly by wire throttle. Because it is electronic, there will be a slight delay as when you press on your pedal and it goes to the ECU and then to the engine. Happens to a lot of the conti cars. A lot of people don't face this so much when they remap their cars or when they use Sprint Booster on their VW.

MFD -> Settings has option to increase loudness when the car is at higher speed (due to wind noise).

However, if listen to radio channels, there is buzzing / crackling sound every now and then. Very annoying.
Already check and confirm with several other stock cars, all same. hmm.gif

Under MFD data, there are only

-Driving Time
-Current Fuel Consum.
-Average Fuel Consum.
-Distance
-Fuel Range
-Average Speed
-Digital Speed Display
-Digital Oil Temperature Display
-Speed Warning Function

I think I almost figure it out, it's not in MFD data but rather at RCD 310. Setting > Gala - set the speed-dependent volume adjustment.

Actually it has nothing to do with the DSG gearbox. It is due to the fact now that your foot pedal is electronic, not like your usual fly by wire throttle. Because it is electronic, there will be a slight delay as when you press on your pedal and it goes to the ECU and then to the engine. Happens to a lot of the conti cars. A lot of people don't face this so much when they remap their cars or when they use Sprint Booster on their VW.

Actually you got it wrong. Fly by wire or drive by wire literally means electronic pedal and not old tech cabled throttled.

Because it is electronic or drive by wire, the throttle respond actually is more instantaneous or responsive vs the old tech cabled linked throttle where you have slacks in the cable wires to the throttle body. Unfortunately the terms drive by wire actually not referring throttle cable wire but rather electronic version.

The lagging or delay felt its due more to inexperienced dsg user or expectation that created or conditioned by the conventional AT.

Could be me not used to the DSG, though when I drove the Golf GTI, I didn't experience the same issue.

I'm more of a manual car driver and I find even the auto in my wife's Civic to lag a bit but that's probably just me. smile.gif

Nice drive, comfortable, nice interior although there are some hard plastics. Aside from some annoying rattling from time to time, otherwise a good car.

What it does not have compared to some of its rivals (Japanese/Europeans)

- Keyless Entry and Smart Start System (Key push, not key turn)
- Tire pressure monitoring system
- Full Electric seats (semi-electric)
- Electric folding windows (it's manual)
- Solar and Security film
- Panoramic Roof

Go test drive to get a good feel of the car

i was told some owners want the electrical folding mirror so the SC is sourcing for the part hmm.gif

as for the rattling, i read on a forum that you should send it back to SC for rectification.. i hear some squeaky sounds during test drive sad.gif

Hi everyone, is it possible to book a 2013 car now since its still 5 months away to new year. My reason is that, since waiting period according to the SA is at least 3 months for the next batch, it will be year end and lose on the value. Might as well take the 2013 model. What do you guys think? Thanks!!

Vw still have its fare share of issues. Rattling n squeaks are just the normal bit
Other serious issues are with the dsg itself, the mechatronic unit at clutch are the main issues
Other than that misfiring due to plugs and coil pack

Worst bit is the service ctr. They take at least a week to diagnose an issue, but not fixing it.
Vw msia better buckle up ang get their act together, and not looking only at sales volume.
U can imagine the frustration over it. At the rate they are going, could b another toyota-ish scenario

A lot of my friends buy 2nd hand now coz the damn COE is so expensive. Plus they have a robust 2nd hand market there, whether old car or new car also enjoy the same 1.88% interest rate.

If you look at the car prices there, it makes more sense buying a Mercedes C180 as it's only 20k apart from the Camry or similar sized car. Compromise is surely on the size and features la, but heck, it's still a merc.

The DBW is such old tech that they no longer even refering it. Using the throttle perspective, I dont recall any VW sold locally come with a mechanical cable connecting the pedal to throttle body. They are all by electronic signal ie wires..

which is thing like sprint booster or throttle respond device can alter the throttle curve. Some model and car, the factory intentionally adjust the curve throughout the throttle respond to adjust the drive feel.. some like progressive, some like linear, some like it soft or eco...

My case, my 1 month old golf having some sound on suspension.

1st time sent to SC to check, but unable to find the cause then they asked me to leave my car there for 2 days for them to check again, but no spare car was offered to me.

I have to make another appointment for them to check again why the suspension is making some weird noise, finally they found the cause which is faulty absorber. They dont have spare part & have to order. WTF such a big SC dont have spare part for absorber?

I need to make another appointment to fix the absorber, & now still waiting for parts to arrive.

Need me to visit them 3 times to fix a faulty parts.

VW is very good car, just the SC is shitty...

It could be spring sound, & SC said is absorber, but I think more like loosen tailpipe sound.
It sound like the tailpipe hitting something (klung klung) sound.

The sound only when crossing speed bump in low speed. Other time is OK...

I think the main reason of lousy SC is because they run by individual company. They're not directly under VW.
As ppl going back to SC is under warranty, SC cannot charge customers for the parts.
SC only can backcharge VW for the cost involved & definitely cannot overcharge VW for extra profit.
Keeping stock is extra cost for SC.

BTW, my SC is VW PJ (222)

Try to pull ur handbrake harder, i heard this could eliminate the spring sound.
Spring sound is very common, almost all VW cars having same problem like u.

The creaking sound could come from the handbrake.
With the engine running:
* You can try if you pull the handbrake one-notch only (softly) on a mild-slope, and jump around. Leave gear in N. -> will have creaking sound.
* Then do the same, release handbrake, but put in P only. -> no creaking sound. If got spring/suspension problem, it'll be slightly different squeaking sound.

it varies from 0.00l/100km to 10.00l/km, depends on going up hill, down hill... all depends how hard u step on the accelerator.

The best I can deduce is that it is due to faulty ignition. Let me explain.

I have been complaining about intermittent juddering (not the DSG kind) and the check engine light would appear. I sent it back to have it rectified. They changed the spark plugs. It didn't really solve the problem. Then I complained louder. They changed some coils and spark plugs again. They also changed the high pressure fuel pump.

These incidents may have already caused some damage to the engine. High compression and direct injection engines do not tolerate bad fuelling.

Fortunately.. the engine blow up happened just as I was going to get the NISSAN LEAF to test drive for 6 weeks! LOL.. Now I am an electric convert.

I get the spring sound from the rear as well..

I guess the car is still new and once the car is seasoned or frequently having load at the back, the spring will settle down.. probably the spring sound is bcos the car and suspension is still new?

Just rode on highway recently KL-Ipoh. 1.4TSI

110km/h steady, MFD shows 6.3L/100km after running steady for 20-30km continuous. Cannot be instant, since if slope up, FC shows 7.5-8.5 range. If downhill, or release pedal, becomes 0.0-5.0 range.
RPM ~2.2-2.4k (forgot actual)

135km/h steady, MFD shows ~7.7L/100km +/- 0.2 range.
RPM ~2.7-2.9k (forgot actual)

Using auto-cruise.

Can share what you mean by "bad fuelling" ? Do you put external stuff like fuel-additives/pills ?
Please PM me if not convenient to share in public. Thanks

As I understand, the engine can officially use our local M'sia RON 95/97/98.

I am driving a scirocco and found water under the floor mat at front passenger foot rest area. Thought it was from air cond but didn't see water dripping after hours of driving. Thought from car wash but sent car for washing and requested them to focus with high jet water at the passenger door area. No visible water seeping through. Water somehow came from underneath becoz my floor mat is always dry. Appreciated if sifu can help
1) what causes this?
2) How to get rid of the water before it smells.. PRIORITY NO.1

Mine no rattle interior. Complete quiet, solve the door-rubber ngek-ngek sound also.

1) I recall read somewhere (I read many forums), there is a leak that need to patch or something. Only happens for Rocco if I recall correctly.
Need to dig back.

2) (i) While waiting to solve it, buy some cheap Good Morning white towels, line under the mat. Everyday take out to wind-dry it and swap with another pair.
(ii) Use thirsty-hippo as suggested.

It could be spring sound, & SC said is absorber, but I think more like loosen tailpipe sound.
It sound like the tailpipe hitting something (klung klung) sound.

The sound only when crossing speed bump in low speed. Other time is OK...

Does the sound come out every time u step hard on the gas when ur creeping/moving slowly too? I had this kinda sound from the front right wheel, it feels like something is loose everytime I get that sound. Took it back to them for 2 times before they could fix the prob. It was some loose screws in the undercarriage.

the drive train... it's same 1.8 turbo engine & 7 speed DSG as the Passat
you're paying 50k more just for the different body

might as well wait for it to come with 2.0 turbo & 6 speed DSG like the previous CC
better engine & gearbox, or get an old cc which is same drive train as golf gti

Any of u guys using polo find it troublesome to pump up the spare tire?

The nozzle at the tire is facing downwards and to uncap and recap it, we need to carry up the tire..

Any of u guys got an easier way where we don't need to unscrew the tire and lift it up to pump and screw the cap back?

hopefully u can dig the forum. I got a feedback quoting same incident. Surprisingly and my biggest fear, HE asked me if i change the HU? YES I did.. i trace back and last check the footrest was after doing wash and coating AND that was before the HU changing. SO far no modification except HU replacement. Is it possible that it causes this ?

If you are going to tune your car, I recommend a removable piggy. Reflashing your ECU is going to leave a trail behind and will void your warranty.

The main reason why the new CC is 1.8cc and not the previous 2.0 turbo is because of the duties and taxes levied. If you recall, the old CC was selling like hot cakes because it was relatively affordable (if you can call 250K affordable).

I heard from a good source that there were certain protest made to the government by another manufacturer and the government revised the excise duty which inflated the selling price to close to 300K!!

VAG had no choice but to bring in the lesser variant of the CC to ensure that their selling price remained competitive.

Same with me. So far, only lift up the tire only once to pump before an outstation journey. 140kpa left inside, since get the car.

I'm searching slowly for a tire-valve-extension-cord thingy.

Hey guys, I'm looking into installing a piggy. Racechip to be specific.

http://www.racechip.de/racechip-chiptuning...TSI-3453-r.html

Only one question, if you look at the details and specs, the difference between pro and ultimate is only 1% charging / 1kW / 1 PS / 3 NM of torque

I was quoted a price difference of RM300 between the two, ultimate being RM300 more expensive than the pro.

My main question is, is the extra RM300 worth it? IMO it's mainly for the faster processor and core. Of course the ultimate comes in a better casing etc.

Does the processor really play a big part here?

Also I'm driving a golf tsi 1.4, will the 7-speed dry clutch be a problem?

And can the gearbox handle the increased torque?

Thanks for your replies.

Same la, I also kena poison edi lol. For me, my friend is a racechip distributor so all my warranty issues or installation or removing it before sending for service should be ok. However he is not free to answer all my questions so I decided to post here and hope for some answers.

Swiss chip I have no idea, but I read once in some forum that all piggys/chips basically do the same thing. You should the one which has the best sales assistant, best customer service, and is able to answer all your queries and doubts since all the piggys more or less do the same thing.

However, all the numbers provided on the website like hp, ps, torque, charging, power etc etc are based on BEST case scenario so the actual outputs may be lower, so I was told.

the current Passat, Jetta, Golf and Polo are using the 7 speed DQ200 DSG that handles max torque up to 250Nm..
the powerful Golf GTI mated with 6 speed DQ250 that handles max torque of 350Nm.. thus i believe Golf GTI still can be tuned up from its default 280Nm torque as DQ250 still can handle up till 350Nm..

correct me if i m wrong.. cheers..

It can be tuned like Error404, max torque almost at the DSG max capability (250Nm)
The RaceChip in your web >300Nm torque sounds abit scary, maybe those are for oversea's manual tranny..

yes the optimum range for DQ200 is 250nm from VWG published papers
compare to DQ250, there's a lower ceiling
so proceed with caution loh

fyi my polo 1.2 tsi using racechip pro, initially i was using it at max setting (7)
max setting is fun my stock figures are 105ps 175nm, i went dyno 109ps 202nm on wheel (ron95)
now i'm on 5 for the pass 2 weeks, better fuel mileage & smoother gear changing at low speeds

2nd time refueling. (1st time was I just got my new golf 1.4 tsi).

Average FC is 10 l/km, 80% city/20% highway, mostly short distance trip, 15 min. to office.

Mileage still below 1000km, hope the FC will reduce to 8 - 9 l/km. Achievable?

It can be detected with the obd tool - all your parameters will be operating at a higher scale which means u have tampered with the car smile.gif

one technique is they look at your boost value. With these piggyback - your boost will be operating at a higher level Ie original max boost 1.2 bar but post box, maybe 1.4-1.5 bar?

This can easily explain why the car has performing so much more better - do you really think they stupid? maybe close one eye but when claim for parts exp turbo, gearbox etc, they will look at your parameters and if they are off the scale, then u are screwed

I got 1 question for VW Golf owner.

did anyone have a 2nd thought of having VW Jetta instead Golf?

no offense, because both same engine and also 1k extra you can get the bigger car? although Jetta look abit boring. Still I found it quite a bargain.

For me golf looks more sporty n jetta looks more like a family car.

Anyway, i'm planning to do piping n valve on my golf gti after raya to make the car sounds more sporty. This will definitely void the warranty is it? And will it by any chance have any other effects on my car other than changing the sound?

For me no cos it is pure joy to drive. But i have not tested jetta.

I understand it will be the dilemma for it to be a family cos the boot space will be pain in the ass.

Jetta is abit of a dilemma, bcos of its looks which is pretty subjective.. hav to say certain angle looks nice, certain angle looks weird.. but the boot space is really impressive..

A fren who owns a golf started commenting on the boot space.. bcos Golf is the main car for his family, thus he is starting to feel the lack of space.. cant even put in his golfclub unless fold down the rear seats..

Another fren just got "expecting" and forgo her idea of getting the Golf and got a Passat instead..

IMHO, hatch mostly serve as 2nd car (for me la) as it is better to hav a sedan in a family...
(Unless certain hatch has impressive boot space like Pug 308 which has > 400 liter of boot space)

**ok, i know its subjective, some ppl got the Golf as the main car in the family, but its just purely my view... cheers... icon_rolleyes.gif

yeah, all the reason Jetta was more like to all side advantages. you all get what I mean but just curious the reason 'why golf over jetta?' laugh.gif you know, both were VW and same engine, also the price are ALMOST same just little 1k over.
Thanks you for the 3 feedbacks.

Up down, left, right haha. I just love watching it work. Same on the c-class, saw my neighbour's hehe. I think it's an auto test for the light bending system, no harm. Just love watching it move ;p

Well, if you ask me, I'm in my early 20's and I don't want an uncle looking car. I always wanted a car with bi-xenons and DRL over the boring usual yellow headlamps. (yes I know you can modify Jetta but I don't wanna do that)

Although they both have the same engine, torque power output blablabla, the jetta is bigger, heavier and less aerodynamic. (plus to me it looks a bit like persona lol) So don't you think the golf will be a better choice if you're looking for speed and handling? Just like the roc and golf. Same engine power etcetcetc but the roc handles so much better if you corner on high speeds (test drive for yourself) This is due to the more aerodynamic shape of the roc thus producing lesser drag.

As for cabin and boot size, for now it's only my girlfriend and I. So for 2 people going on short trips, the golf is more than enough. Of course if you're starting a family soon or already married with kids I'd suggest something like a camry with more space for family.

Ultimately, it all boils down to your PERSONAL preference. I've admired the golf since the mk5 came out, and since it's usually just the 2 of us; I'm happy with my choice! thumbup.gif

The only difference with Golf-Jetta and Golf-Roc is that Golf-Jetta is 1k price gap while Golf-Roc is 35k price gap.

now golf come with price tag of RM156k with sound & light package.
RM148,888 no longer available from any VW Malaysia, so Golf is more expensive than Jetta.

Even though the Jetta has a bigger boot, the Golf is still pretty practical. The folding rear seats means that you have lots of loading options. I am not sure if the Jetta has that. I have been surprised many times by how much the Golf can fit every time I do a big Ikea run!

Interior wise, both cars are the same. So.. in terms of legroom and space for the family, then it should not matter either way.

I personally like hatch-backs, so it will be Golf everytime..

The reason why the Roc handles better is less because of aero and more because the Roc has a slightly wider track than the Golf. smile.gif

I did, when I get the Golf (with light & sound + rebates), the price is similiar like Jetta 149k +/-

One reason is below tongue.gif

Other reasons are:
1) I don't need such a big car for now, nor a sedan.
Otherwise, I'll go for the family Toyota Altis/Camry for similiar price range or lower.

2) At this stage, if I don't drive Golf, most probably I won't drive one in future when the family grows and I get older. At that time, will settle for an uncle's Camry/Altis or MPV and drive slowly. Or a Jetta/Passat sweat.gif

Recent, just bought some stuff at Ikea. About 180cm length. Load up about 5x of it until near roof. Collapse rear seats. Front passenger seat cannot fold down completely ohmy.gif Anyone knows how ?
Lucky still can fit it on the middle armrest.
No problem what ? Going to buy 3x more in coming weeks.

Your friend must be jealous of you buying VW, if not he won't be lying to you.
Each service cost about RM400 only & service interval is 15k km. This is even cheaper than Japanese car.

Dunno these car price increase has got something to do with the tax reduction that is being discussed in the election.

Tax reduction wont make prices going up... VW is really playing around with the price. Earlier price at RM155,888 but free road tax & insurance. Less than a month price increase

Brand new is 257k yawn.gif

Possible to lose 40k in just one year, even if it's a test drive model?

pretty common to drop drastic during the 1st year... this is bcos if the price is not low enough, ppl rather buy new car as hirepurchase for new car is much lower than 2nd hand car.. if its drop merely 10%, ppl rather get new one as the installment are not much different and you get to drive a "virgin car".. cheers..
