Polo no Xenon headlights!?  cry.gif

I thought the difference isn't that big but now it's really BIG  sad.gif 
My dad friend which is the boss of Volkswagen dealer keep poisoning me! I wonder is that turbo makes it powerful  hmm.gif

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!

Sounds like a good piece of advice dude. +1 to you!
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
*
Lets just say that when I sold off my Golf, the depreciation was around 30%

ya wor. why so expensive?

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

QUOTE(carpathia @ Aug 5 2012, 10:51 AM)
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.

"downsized turbocharged" but states 1.4TSI. so is the engine still supercharged? hope it is.
*
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.

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.
*
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.

>.> Sorry to hear that.. but what was your problem? If you don't mind sharing
Sparkplug, coilpack, misfiring, throttle body wasn't at optimum level, mechatronic, DSG juddering. The one that did the trick was having my car at the SC for a whole month because the SA who attended to me went on training and didn't update the status or even inform me of any news.

Question:

Any of u guys open your hood for polo and found plastic bags shoved on the left and right corner.. I only noticed yesterday. If viewing from front of the car, on the left side, it is just beside the cool-en fluid box. Another way of locating it is just behind the head lamps to the side. Any idea why they put the plastic there? I didn't remove it because afraid it has some use...
*
I have never seen plastic bags in the bonnet before, beercans, yes but not plastic bag. Can you snap a picture of it? It shouldn't be there unless when you were driving and your car accidentally "ate" them

my concern is also the aftersales.. 1 month waiting list for servicing like audi?  rclxub.gif thats horrible
*
It really depends on your schedule as well as the service center's schedule. I doubt that they still have a 1 month wait to service your car, as long as you make the proper arrangement and schedule you should be able to service your car within at least 2 weeks. There are quite a number of service centers (for VW) in Klang Valley so it all depends on your own preferences.

Think about it, how often you service your car compare to how much time you get to enjoy your new ride! brows.gif brows.gif

Hard to find unless you go to the Classic VW forums or just search through Mudah, Carlist, Oto, etc..etc..

I bumped into the group a couple of times, they bring their classic beetles and kombi.

I know also also many VW owners are strict SG fans, but here I humbly offer start-off promotion for Opti-Coat to 2 members who knows of this product and wished to get it done.

Yup I also am a fan of opti coat and the other Optimum products. OPC is a damn good cleaner!

When MK6 launch, does VW offer 20% discount to MK5?

When the new Mk6 SE came about, they were letting go pre-reg Mk6 GTI at around RM188k-RM195k based on their mileage.

Thats close to about 20% discount.

Not working for T&H, but have experience for non-reliable and reliable.
Always want to have peace of mind and spend more time with family rather than spend more time to worry, go to service center, broken down here and there or broken down in the middle of the road... waste valuable time.

Many AES, no point to waste $ to buy turbocharge while cannot speed fast. If want fast, then pay summon = burn $.

It is everyone choice...just sharing experience.
*
Yes its the same, with everything else in life.

So now, do you find a wife just because she is reliable and cheap or rather a wife that you love?

gosh, dont u guys think vw pricing abit  rclxub.gif

a polo gti 20k (10.5%) less than passat sports?
and wats polo gti v passat ckd difference then?

a small hatch v d segment?

Its a pocket rocket versus a family sedan. Both to suit different markets. Initial pricing (PGTI was less than RM140k) was spot on IMHO but thanks to the new tax revision, VW go screwed over here in Malaysia.
