Anybody can recommend a Battery Shop to change my Polo 1.6 HB battery ? Want to get 3rd party cause the Original is very costly.

any good workshop around pj to inspect AC?
sometime it blow hot air but back to normal when accelerating

the fan also quite noisy and still running for few seconds after power off

It's not aircond issue... it's coolant issue.
Your car too hot. Go check your water level.

I had that issue few months back.

One of my suspicious too
I refilled 1/3 of g13 coolant with water few weeks back.i did it in 1:1 ratio.should i put more water?

EDIT: found out there is leakage on the coolant
how much to get it fixed?
*
Better bring in to workshop to check which part is leaking ...usually the seals (after 4+ years) hardened.
Do you see orange liquid on the floor if you park overnight ?

Not familiar in PJ area... just don't go to the Aircond service as that's not the root cause issue.

Hi guys, it is advisable to get a VW Vento TSI as my first car? I get a very good discount for a demo car from a SA.

Continental cars comes with expensive maintenance and repairs ... carpe diem
Nice to drive though.

p.s. driving a Polo MPi..can't wait to sell

with warranty, and financially feasible (for you), imo is not a problem.
though you might want to service the gearbox related oil once in a while as they're not 'lifetime oil' as claimed.

Vento only has few minor problems, that include brake juddering - which all can be solved, no worries.

What's this Brake Juddering.... i seem to get that in the early morning.

the front brakes will judder / vibrate when you  slowly depress your brakes when moving. Swap to aftermarket pads and problem will be solved.

You mean need to depress the brake hard ?

Why don't you like your Polo  MPi? It is on my short list. Going for test drive this weekend. Big mistake?

Parts not cheap, even OEM also 10-15% cheaper only.
Lousy Battery life expectancy.
Local/Japanese cars should be better in the long run.
