Frequent top up of engine oil maybe normal for turbo car, but NOT TO the extend of 1 litre per say 3000km.

I am driving a Audi A6h, same engine as VW 2.0 TSI (though mine with hybrid system bolt on), never have to top up engine oil for the past 2 years. Not so sure about 1.4T and 1.8T though. For me not normal.

u tekan a lot or not? heard frm most who tekan alot ... every 5k check, and likely 8 - 9k have to top up a little less than 1 litre

Yup if want d segment non turbo
goes for 2.4 litre .
If 2.0 make sure fill 97. U can feel the diferent really .

Not a lot lar, Audi is for elegant driving I sayang my car hell a lot ok ? But sometimes only. Top speed 230km/h before, just short stint.


But what danielisme mentioned is quite bad, definitely not normal to me.

hahah buy so expensive car but never tekan ... for what .. tekan jer ... hahahaha

Did you actually read what I said ? I said sometimes, but not tekan a lot. So, I do tekan but not like out and out boy racer

oi relek la ...

U know what , passat not so respect by other in highway
Compare to accord . Don't know other passat owner feel the same not.
Last time I drove accord on fast lane

Err... Then u should go get back that Honda Accord... Just wanna show off...

Hi guys, i am planning to buy a new car. Can you guys compare Passat and Honda CR-V 2.4? In term of maintenance cost i think Passat will be higher right? VW still having gear box issue?

Currently promotion from VW, Passat, Jetta, Polo and others are 0 downpayment and 0% interest payment. This offer is quite good, but the most concern is the VW gear box issue. Can anyone advice here? Thanks!

r u sure passat maintenance is high?

Btw passat should increase performance laa.. It should stand beside accord 2.4, camry 2.5, merc c200, bmw 320i..

It should have at least 180ps-190ps.

160ps 250Nm at 5000rpm is almost the same with Jetta.

Jetta 160ps 240Nm at 5800rpm..

You want the forumers here to compare the difference for you?

1) Read the entire thread
2) search and read the other thread on the same topic
3) Do more reading before commiting to a 170k loan for a car

People who are lazy like you should not bother changing cars, just get the brand you hear is good

Jetta = twincharged at 1400cc engine
Passat = turbochargedonly at 1800cc engine

thats why.. they should set at 180ps...

ohhh dont just look at the PS or BHP ... do look at the torque also ... the Passat 1.8 TSI churns out 250NM of torque ... can only be matched by the Camry Hynrid(213NM from engine and 270NM from electric motor) with an additional electric motor and Ford Mondeo(345NM)

Hi guys! Would like to seek for opinion

I've placed a booking for Jetta, waiting for loan approval only. VW is offering 0% interest and dp so I can get 9 years loan at rm1180 monthly (0.52% interest for 9 years)

However I've also looked at used Passat, registered in 2013 with 30k+ mileage, selling at rm83k only, 3.6% interest will make the monthlh commitment at around rm1200 or so.

Is it worth to take used Passat if the installment is about the same as New Jetta? Passat is also under warranty.

Passat so cheap ? i think in term of power, it should be better than Jetta ...my neighbor bought golf , his got Passat as the backup car when his car sent for gearbox claims for few weeks, he told me Passat is very much better than GTI golf, I believe Jetta is 1.4 too, so should be same engine as golf if not mistaken..just something to share, hope doesn't mislead you

---------------
Sorry, his car is golf , not golf GTI

the 2nd hand market for VW is really low ... the same goes for all model

this was caused by the 2011 - 2013 period of mass mechatronic and dsg issue ... which has since see a major drop since 2014, this is my personal view from most forums, and groups ... which lead me to believe the fault rate is really going down and hence my purchase of the passat 2014 ckd 2 months back
