When I was teenager, some old man told me that we proud of our road where only Japan and Singapore are better. Then when I out to work in my 20's, the road start to be bad. And now is worst.

I beam beam beam yet it still don't wanna give way, I got the chance to overtake from the left lane, cut back to the right after overtaking. It highbeam me back? What the hell is the driver thinking?

You mean the door visor? You may try this.
They quote around Rm250 for P408.

Oh good. How is the finishing ? Which SC ?

Balakong SC. Its just a small dent. They do better finishing, need to sand and re-coating that area. Then re-spray the whole bonnet that costs RM580. I didn't ask about the type of paint used. So I get him to touch up the dent with paint nia. Not very obvious from far.

I've been driving 407 for almost 4 yrs.. 90k km.. Steering no sound. I think the service supervisor bs... Never heard such issue from other 407 users. Please get it checked by another supervisor.

Thanks! Will get it check again.

408 was designed and aimed at slightly higher income group whereas the Polo Sedan (Vento) was developed specifically for the Indian market as a cheap entry level econobox. VW Malaysia, in all its infinite wisdom, decide to bring this car in and price it at a ridiculous level. Obviously their strategy for this car backfired, serves them right too.

Zweimmk, on that note, I agree! And good way to put it "all its infinite wisdom"....hahaha

M still at Glenmarie service center.
registered 8.45am this mornign and waited for 15 minutes before my number is being called. There was no clients around, Why the long wait? Because there was only 2 Staff manning the counter and the receptionist (2 Service technicians). Why? I was told many of them resigned within a week due to management issue.

Waited until 11.45am and saw my car parked at car wash bay.( i have told the SA not to wash my car ). I guess they just don't listen.

reported problem :
1. steerling loose
2. disc plate with deep scratch line
3. smelly inside even internal air circulation is turned on.
4. power loss ( engine missing a beat )
5. battery weak

SA came back to me :
1. steering nut loosen. tightened.
2. disc plate ( no problem, can't claim warranty, but he was referring to front left disc, while i reported rear right disc.)
3. cleaned cabin air filter.
4. power loss, have to make another appointment. must leave car overnight.
5. no problem with battery as diagnostic shows.

SA only check front disc and not entire 4 disc. i purposely asked him which one he said is okie. haha...caught him with his pants down.

sitting for almost an hour after i told him and showed him the deep scratch line. i guess he must have gone for lunch as now is 12.55pm already.

to be continued.......

Termibait - noticed ur issue 'engine missing a beat'. Do ask them re check all sparkies...I had similar prob last time n spsrk plug changed n issue solved. Mine due to fuel fouling up sparks. Also, I had low batt issue in between. Not sure whether that will also result in incomplete combustion adding furthr to failing sparks.

There appears to be some concern among our bros over the 408 manufactured in China. Nothing to worry as it is manufactured as per spec laid and controlled by principle. Even Ipad is manufactured in China,it's a runaway success!

I'm from the Aviation sector. Boeing and Airbus,the two mega giants in aviation are having parts manufactured in China. I can tell you,there are no failures from any China made parts which are fitted to these planes.

So relax,it's a matter of outsourcing!  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

I still remember I took delivery..the plastics covering the insides have instructions in Chinese. .thats a strong 'made in China reminder'..lol....
But as correctly pointed out...no big deal and chill

thank you Matsukatsu,

i have made another appointment for them to check this as i was told my car have to be left overnight.

1. steerling loose - tightened up but i still can feel a little bit. not sure if it is due to drive shaft.
2. Disc plate with deep scratch line - replaced a new set on the spot.
3. smelly inside cabin - cleaned up cabin filter. not sure this works or not as i did not trail behind lorries with black smoke yet.
4. Turbo loss - engine missing a beat. appointment made 3.5.2013 together with 20k service.
5. weak battery - saw the dianostig slip- it shows good battery.

My review on Glenmarie center :

Front counter : No smile but courtesy, 7/10
Service advisor : Friendly with smile, 8/10
Service Technician : Friendly but not so meticulous, 7/10. I complained about deep scratch line on disc plate. He just checked front disc and wrote on the service sheet, ok, warranty not approved. I asked him which disc he mentioned is ok. He showed me the front disc. Then, i told him the scratch line is at the rear disc. He was stunned for a while and went back to office ( i guess to talk to his boss ). 11.45am that time.
waited until 2.55pm to collect my car. rear disc was replaced with a new set(both left and right).
refreshement : Milo,tea,coffee, biscuit. (SHould add nasi lemak or meehoon goreng). 6/10.
entertainment : newspaper/magazine. 3/10. No newspaper found.
pre inspection Follow up: A call was made to me to remind of the service date and time.
post inspection follow up : A call was made to me next day to confirm problems are rectified and scheduling of next appointment date for the item 4.
Total experience : 7/10. At least solve my disc plate problem and checked my battery. smile.gif

cheers....
