It (Edge Titanium) is long-life coz it is fully synthetic. In fact, it is compatible with the VW's service interval of 15,000 km or a year. Other semi-synthetic oil usually goes up to 10,000 km only.

Agree because normally when your loan is rejected, they will allocate the car to someone else especially when it is a hot model where people are waiting a long time to get the car.

you can try ask the member here name Jim.tan...

VW uses this oil...


the pic is a 1L bottle available for purchase...
RM 68.00 per 1L bottle...

as for the oil used during your car service, the oil is the same oil but drawn from a drum instead...
(at least in my service center, not sure about the rest)

ANyone drilled in the OSIR Dead plate? Any special tool? Currently I just use double sided tape.. cause I really got no time to crouch underneath there and drill.

OSIR Dead plate > stock...

Wut is the best offer for new golf tsi? Jetta and passat?

Guys, I recently found out some mysterious red liquid underneath where i parked my dad's tiguan, and yesterday only found out that it's actually collant leaking.

Photo taken when engine is half-hot (50 degrees like that)



But the car still runs smoothly, no warning message, 12k+ on the odo, no even 1 year old yet.

What to do? Can top-up coolant with normal water yet till it gets fixed?

Yesterday I go Volkswagen Cheras Selatan for final discuss about my beetle will be getting this week, loan, car plate all already done left to bank in the down payment which I plan to bank in today. Js now recieve the sa call said what the car actually still shipping only will arrive beginning August. Lmao...is this normal happen when purchase car from vw? Or is the sa problem?

Yup, until the leak gets fixed, you should top up to reach at least the minimum mark, but since there is a a leak, above the min mark is better. You need to wait for the car to cool down before the the reservoir level stabilize, and of course, make sure the vehicle is parked at a levelled area.

Coolant to water ratio is 1:3. However, you shouldn't use normal water (there are salt in it and that promotes rusting). You should use distilled water, example battery water.

Hope the information I offered helps.

Yes, you should top up with water pronto. No real urgency with getting distilled water yet; tap water up to past min mark is fine if you're doing it all of one time. But there's definitely a leak, and you should send it in to SC to get it rectified pronto.

However, this might not be a 'factory defect' as your post seems to imply; could be some soft of damage from running over something. Nevertheless, bring the car in to SC. I had a similar problem, and SC replaced my radiator (which had some crack) at no cost.

Car plate = not yet registered.
Unless I get the VIN chassis and engine number, I won't pay the balance of down payment.
Without VIN, means SA/dealer has not yet allocate the car for you. Or car not even arrive / clear customs yet.
Preferably, I'll go down all the way to the showroom/warehouse to inspect the car, before they register it. Also to confirm its physical existence ... is there, and not some ayam&lembu (kok & bull) story.

My guess ? Either SA over promised you, or your car is allocated to "someone" else

What if the loan was approved from the other bank , will they put me back in the waiting list again ?

ermm...tq my frd...i guess mostly tat car allocated to some one else d...really frustrated with tis sa...everytime want i call her only will reply me...can i still change sa during tis period?

Normally both sides will have gentleman agreement, e.g. 3-7 days to get loan approval.
If you didn't reply with confirmed approved loan to SA by then, the SA has the right to allocate to someone else.
SA also need to 'cari makan' and to hit sales-target, to be fair to them. They can't wait for 2 weeks, later delay 3 weeks, then holiday, then 5th week, ... then say no money, not buying now.
Therefore, it is better to get loan approved much earlier.

Hence, officially they will need to queue you at the back again.
However, in some cases, SA may allocate another car to you first Possible case like below ... (I'm not saying it is, but is just a possible scenario)

I'm not sure on your dealer / agreement. However, if SA promise you by X date, and can't deliver, you can make noise with the manager for some compensation or discount , or to withdraw your full deposit.

That's what I do normally, not just buying cars, but anything.
Before I place deposit, I always insist and ask several times, sometimes to put in writing at the PO, to confirm on the nearest date / time. I tell them, just be frank and tell me the true date it will come. If it is coming Aug, tell me Aug. Don't tell me end-July.
Go check in your system for the model & colour. If no date, then I won't buy yet, until he/she can give me something more concrete.

But somethings, cannot insist lah, like if you want Continental tyres, instead of Hankook ... this one cannot guarantee. Be reasonable also.

MK7 will launch next month ^^

Hi Guys, not sure if anyone have asked before. if I mix additive like LM Ceratec with the engine oil will it void the car warranty?

It will void the engine warranty, IF they send the sample engine oil for analysis/testing when you claim warranty.

like CSI

i book with FA Jalan 222 and submit my loan docs there and loan was approved (with the offer letter and all)..
i only paid booking fee in Jalan 222...

i then transferred everything to bangsar and my SA in bangsar got my car out within the same week itself...
(i call bangsar on monday to tell my story, this SA that handles my call meet up with me on tuesday for more information. by wedesday he got my loan transferred over to his outlet. thursday my car allocated from stockyard. friday evening reaches his showroom after PDI. sat morning i go pickup my car.)

why i go through the hassle of changing SA?
i dont like my original SA in jalan 222 with the usual salesperson over promise talk... so i kept quiet and made him do donkey jobs like submitting docs for loan etc for me...
my gut feel proved to be correct when he took 3 months to refund my booking fees, and that is with me literally bringing it up to FA head office.

so its your call... you get to choose who to serve u...

Which generally, in Malaysia Boleh land, with tidak apa attitude, is very unlikely.
Unless the engine warranty claim is very unique, e.g. blocking, residue, something visible to eye, blown up, etc. that they decide to take the engine oil sample.

Nevertheless, although unlikely they will find out, technically, the answer is still void engine warranty.
