http://paultan.org/2013/11/25/twin/

Looks like some singapore VW Golf MK7 owners getting calls from service centre to change their oil to prevent the DSG issue altogether.

Any msians got the call from service centre?

DSG Recall as per this report: http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/14/vw-worl...e-light-recall/

Hi, VW Polo Sedan 2014 got any discount now? actually im not familiar to VW service, is it good?

Polo sedan was going for 85k but now website states 90k already. Maybe u can go check out at dealer

no calls yet, however u can try ask your SC for gear oil change to mineral


service is varies from place to place
actually due to warranty we have to service at sc, else we will service at 3rd party shops (less fuss)

My family drive 2 x Passat, 2 x CC
CC 1 my uncle drive - gearbox fail while on the road
The other CC now gearbox jerks on 2nd gear.
The 2 x Passat also gearbox jerks, both already sent for software upgrade (adjust higher torque according to technician). Now ggoint to make appt to send in for further repair.
The latest car is Passat which bought in Oct 2012.
All cars clocked 30K n above now..
Tho car good handling, power and stable, gearbox is a b****
All 1.8 DSG 7 gear. All condemn ba...
Appt glenmarie SC even normal serv need wait 2 weeks. Push a bit mayb earlier. The SC are all overflow cannot cope with other mechanical probs..

malaysia CC is quite lousy compare to singapore ones,
we have same engine & drivetrain as normal passat 1.8

Malaysians always get lousier spec. Singapore golf gets sat nav and 8 inch screen while we only get a measly 5 inch. And not to mention the rims.

Don't scare me, as i going to get my Passat delivery this coming Saturday.
God bless, hope everything is ok.

Quite a good watch. GTI vs A250 vs V40 vs 125i

We all know who wins

Just got my mechatronic replaced yesterday at FA PJ. Anyone else got recalled? They called me in last week when I was in my hometown. "Mechatronic replacement campaign from Germany" claimed the SA.

Hi guys, have been approached by a friend of mine to take over his Mk6 GTI, does any of the VW SCs do point checks to see if anything is spoilt? I'd prefer to send it there to check before buying it..

any1 here know where can get mk7 led rear light?

god bless, lets all pray for you
pls do update us to see whether anything has been changed.
does changing the mechatronic for DSG will solve the gear jerk problem forever??
owners that has done that can confirm??

Not sure if you need vagcom though. And why do our GTI come with the normal rear lights instead of these LED ones?

let me share with u my experience with the DSG7

i have tracked (sepang open track days and competitive track days) this car 7 times...
1 or 2 times a month touge drive up and down ulu yam/kuala klawang/genting sempah...

mileage 33k now...

no issues with the gearbox...

what car are you driving?

Really?... that's good news, so just pray i do not get a lemon car then. haha.
I actually ignoring all complaining abt DSG issues or bad comments abt it and just go ahead to buy this car. Feels great after tested this car.

Mind sharing what car you booked?

the one with a DSG7?


if u would ask me, those who always say "want to buy vw but ended up didnt buy because DSG unreliable" is those who belongs to the category sour grapes and trust me there is plenty of them around especially around here...
i can easily spot those from far...


i rather buy "unreliable" DSG7 then some lion shit who break down even without going to track...

make no mistake, there is owners (here in malaysia and overseas) who has their DSG broken down on them (DSG6 or DSG7), but all u need to do is to do your own filtering to determine actual owners (who actually faces this issue) and those who comment for the sake or commenting because they could not afford it and it makes them feels better after bashing...
