Guys, what do u guys think if I were to trade in my alza for.. let's say.. a polo sedan?

Is it considered as a downgrade or upgrade?

Hi guys, im currently looking for a car and polo is currently on top of my list... Just want to clarify something.. is current ckd polo 1.6 hb version is facelifted version? Because yesterday i went to the showroom, and the version they are offering me looks like old version of polo hb instead of facelifted version..btw what is the differences between those two version of polo?

Yes,must be facelift version.
It's new front reworked bumper, replete with a Passat-esque chrome strip and fog lamps,
other external changes include smoked headlamps and revised taillamp graphics. The rear bumper has been restyled slightly and now features reflector strips on the lower portion.
Inside, updates include the adoption of a Mk7 Golf-derived squared-off steering wheel with phone controls on the right side. MDF is also redesign.
New steering looks as bellow:

RM 69,888 now....

http://vw.volkswagen.com.my/promotions/drop-everything/

What is the original price?

Polo a good car? Problem free?

Normal price is RM 89,888.
1 year passed..no problem at all.

So it is rm20k discount... Tempting

Maintenance is on highside comparing to Japanese cars?

Maintenance (service once a year or every 15k km) cost me RM465.

Not bad of it is once a year... Why u choose this car in the first place?

Wat is d price otr?

69k ? Wow, is it otr price ?

Without insurance.

I'm looking into buying a used car year 2013-2014 and i noticed that polo 1.6 sedan is kinda cheap. If there any problem with this car? does the DSG/gearbox/engine/or whatever it is problem affect this model and these batches?

Polo 1.6 sedan don't have DSG,instead is 6-speed automatic with Tiptronic.
I own hb for 1 year and no problem so far.

Any build quality issues? And are the fuel savings significant enough? Any features that you wish they had on the Polo?

Build quality (CKD) it's OK for me, FC is also reasonable ,maybe only ESC missing (in Polo 1.2).

Earlier this morning, started up the engine and drove for like like only 500m, all of a sudden the temperature blinking light pops out with a constant ring... well I shut down the engine and restart again and drove all the way to Selayang from Cheras without any problems (the temperature light did not pop out).

Anyone can rectify this matter?
I'm driving a Polo Hatchback 1.6 2015, 23000KMs done, next service would be 34k.

Greatly appreciated.

hi guys. is it normal to have 30k maintenance cost for polo hb 1.6 about RM1400?
I did it at Sri hartamas VWSC.

Anyone have the updated maintenance cost for polo hb 1.6? pm me pls. tq

wait for your 30k maintenance. it cost me RM1400, at sri hartamas SC.
excluding front wiper, around rm200..
not sure if it is normal or not..

What is stated in your receipt from service?
Must be something else then "normal" 30k service.

30k/24months service. the list for my service as below:

- rplcmnt:
--engine oil
-- oil filter
-- drain plug washer
-- air filter element
-- dust & pollen filter
-- spark plug

- gff/guided function

-sundry:
-- lubrication of battery terminals
-- lbrcation of all the door hinges
-- lbrction of 4 windows run channels
-- lbrction of under carriage bushes and joints
-- lbrction of key cylinders

- perform AC service:
-- remove/recharge ac
--refill compressor oil,
-- moisture removal
-- clean evaporator cores/ac filter
--leak/temperature test & interior bacterial cleaning + air refreshening


i thought that should be standard for all vw schedule maintenance service right.
im not sure if all the services are required or not to keep you from avoiding the warranty..
anyone knows? or can we choose?



for the quotation,

air filter (1) = rm138
oil filter (1) = RM69
spark plug (4) = RM220
pollen filter (1) = RM107
screw (1) = RM11.50
Engine oil 5W40 (3.3) = RM224.40

i believe the major one was for the AC service.

and i change the front wiper as well, it cost me RM200 for 2. that excluded from the RM1400.

so, total cost for me RM1600.

they said that the maintenace cost for polo HB is higher than other model.

Except spark plugs and AC service (& sundry) is per 30k service.

Maybe old now but should be +/- 10-15%

thanks for that.. thats what make me wondering, if the table is still reliable or not..
i asked the guy there as well, what is the cost for the next service,
and he said that the next one will cost around RM1K (as compare to that table, it should around rm600 only
but i noticed that the next service will not count 15k mileage interval, but 20k of mileage interval.

it makes me confuse more

after looking at few cars including VW, now i can exclude it... the maintenance service is kind of bomb for this segment.

i pay RM1250 for my 2year/30K service in VW Gombak.
is the table reliable for now? including the increment about 10-15%.

when did u have that 30k service?

why is the spark plug so expensive , rm408 ?

early this months

Polo pricing seems interesting.. but seeing maintainance cost you guys discussed put off already.. ;(

do u mind to share the breakdowns of that charge? just to compare it with mine, the one i've shared before

According to VW web page, Polo is getting RCD 330 now.




Attached thumbnail(s)

they should have it long time agoooooo

Auch why now VW why

have u went to any SC and ask them why?

Hi anyone bought vento...can know how much discount and how the car so far...

ok, need to find the bills.
will post it once i get it.

Seldom see polo on the road la...

for the maintenance, do we really need to follow exactly all replacement items they listed? cannot de-select items? for eg, dust and pollen filter, spark plug replacement @ 30k km seems too early, can we ask them not to change until next service? will they tell you it would "void" warranty?

i had my eye on 2014 - 2015 used polo sedan, last time saw there's overheating or coolant leak issue, any technical fix we can ask SC to do to prevent it?

if it is still under warranty, i believe they can fix it..replace some part of it or maybe they will replace the whole part of it.. just like my polo aircond compressor

How about the service? You follow their replacement list without de-select any item?

Yes, I noticed polo sedan aircond seems not so cold, tried a few units seems same... Was it slow to cold compare to Toyota and proton?

I just follow all item listed.. no de-select.. maybe u can try, and update here later on if the warranty will be voided or not..hehe

compare to my proton gen2 aircond, proton aircond is better.. but maybe because polo have auto-adjust for the blower..thats why i think it is a bit slow to cold..

Oh, you are driving gen2 previously as well... How polo sedan compare to gen2? During my test drive I found the acceleration slower and smaller legroom on driver seat... No foot rest

it is hard to compare, because my gen2 is 6 years already..
but i think i like polo more.. acceleration i think polo still better than gen2, especially when u use the sport mode..

under low speed, with standard mode, i like my gen2 more.. but for high speed, polo is better.. especially on highway..
but, not i feel like flying..haha because im using polo hb, so it's a light car for high speed..

yeah, the space is a bit smaller..
mybe u should wait for the new jetta..

My car reaching 1 year in few months.
So far only one time only went to SC for service 15k KM.

Overall car condition is good, accelerate as it supposed to, 190km/h no problem,but I noticed now when braking from high speed the steering start to shiver. Previously it was just fine.
Is this because of uneven disc brake surface? Or something else??? :3

And there was this one time I was driving, suddenly check engine warning light came out. I was driving at 30-40kmh and it suddenly popped out.
So i turn off the engine, and restart, then it gone. No more warning light came out later.

Hurmzzzzz i wonder why

at low speed polo tend to shift quicker to higher gear and limit engine rev.
for fuel-saving stuff VW said

the best f/c i got around 6.4-6.5l/100km

2 questions..

1. What and where is the best sc in kl or pj? I heard the new one at hartamas is quite good. I've been to old klang road, damansara perdana and both are terrible

2. Anyone getting VW number plates and planning to interchange it on their existing car ?

yes brake juddering is a common problem for vw polo... its under warranty as factory defect... some service center will tell u its a wear n tear item and u need to pay... just leave and go to the next SC... problem with VW SC is they have double standards...
they will measure the deformation of the disc and hub... if its out of spec, they will replace the disc, pads and hub assembly... all under warranty...

Hi guys do u guys have polo club owner page ?

im looking for 2nd hand Polo Sedan 2013 or 2014

My car show this sign. Anyone has any idea what this sign indicates?

Thanks!

One of the car's bulbs blew..

same here, went for 15k km service in apr 17 but they told me to do balancing outside because their machine problem.
i go to the shop that their service advisor advice, the foreman told me about the bengkok disc..
go back to vw, check and confirm disc defect, and willing to replace within 2 3 weeks, but until today no feedback..
call them, and they ask to wait..don know till when need to wait..

goh motor ipoh..

How's ur car so far? No news till now?

Still No update from vw..good car, but worst after sale service from goh motor..

omg...I just placed an order frm them....Told me can get my car by this week if i take Grey. HM gave mer order to take either white or Silver.

Like i said, it is a good car..but goh motor or dealer that have efficiency issue..

I know it's a good car. Only thing I worried is the efficiency and their after sales service. Now I feel like I got conned, at 1st they told me 15k rebate, now after loan approved. Called me and told me only can give 9k rebate. I was like...........

In this case dont buy. mine is less than a week by now. feels strong vibration on the steering wheel once speed reaches 120kmh. That should not be the case for VW. Maybe something is not right.

Simple balancing issue bro...get it checked at tyre shop

Anyone replaced their polo 1.2 TSI absorbers before?

The one at home starting to make ngek ngek sound when going through bumps and it feels very very soft, suspect it is time to replace.. reaching 80k soon..

Hey! Do drop by my workshop, I can help you check on this - APR Malaysia.. Look for Isaac

just cancel it, most also burn the deposit, 15k and 9k is 6k different , burn up that deposit also won't be painful as losing 6k

lol..

how can they suddenly change price after loan approved??

just treatten them u want cancle order...

Hi, i got my vento comfortline for three weeks now. I want to upgrade vento headlight bulb. I already purchased 85 watt bosch bulb but scared it may cause problem to the headlight/wire. Or is it safe? Got any advice?
