Yeah both sides. I bought the car when it was launched. I think newer ones doesn't hv it - coz I went to the showroom again to check on it and its not there.

Any passat cbu owners here?
I feel that the new ckd passat internal dashboard and seat materials are different ... can anyone verify? Ckd materials seems a little inferior

Yes, a lot less problematic. It is more reliable and it can take up more torque and power. Hence that is why you see all the high powered VW's using this gearbox such as the Golf GTI, Golf GTD, Jetta GLI, Scirocco 2.0, Golf R, Scirocco R and the CC 2.0 and the older Passat CC R.

i know the wiper clips are different for CBU & CKD

Hi guys, recently I'm interested in getting the new MK7.

I've been offered a pre-reg unit driven for about 500km @ about RM13k off, making it RM145k. A brand new one with the current promo would probably be RM150k. Is it worth getting it?

5k more for a new car...
5k divided over 9 years.... u do the math...

I would go for a new car instead since its only 5k diff. Usually ppl who test drive the car (including myself) would usually 'trash' the car.

You mean over 9 year loan? Well, so you're suggesting it isn't much and I should opt for the new one right?

That's my main concern too.. Salesman did some calculation for me and the difference is about RM6k difference including some other fees. Been pondering on it for a few days.

5k might look small, but if u factor in the bank interest it's gonna be a lot

Which one would you take then if you were in my shoes?

i will take a new car....

5k loan extra....
interest is 1.3k over 9 years assuming the interest rate is 2.9%

that is like RM 12 per month just for interest over 108 months (9 years)...

so u are adding on like RM 12-RM 15 a month extra repayment if u take a new car which cost RM 5k more, or u can just pay the RM 5k cash to top-up to new car....

new car can choose your favourite plate number

12 months or 15k km, whichever comes first, during the 5 years warranty period.

It all depends how much you drive. In my case, I don't reach 15k in a year, so I opt for 7.5k service each time.

If I hit 15k in less that a year regularly, I will service at 15k.



BTW, for those who send in for the free mechatronic replacement, do you guys get free petrol vouchers ?

Interesting link. I'm not sure if they changed the DSG oil in my car, but when I was there, I saw my car is lifted high up and mechanics working under the engine/gearbox to dismantle something. Probably to drain out the oil. Or the mecha box is accessed from under it ?

Reason why is, the gearbox feels totally different than before. Similiar like how you can feel the smoothness of the engine after change engine oil kind of feeling.

Alright, then I probably decide to go for the new unit.

Yea u should go for the new unit given the attractive promotion now

or 2nd hand mk6 GTI

the engine oil release is down there near the gearbox...

the gearbox totally feel different then before?
maybe they updated the software....


if u have a clutch change or a mecha change, u need to re-do your alignment...
if your alignment is not out, most likely is that they updated the software of the gearbox...

It is almost year end anyway, why not wait a little bit since usually they will give some discounts anyway to clear stocks. Go for a new unit. You'll love your mk7. I know I do
