Which shop?

Polo selling at Malaysia still MK5 la...
1.6NA engine with 6AT gearbox, lesser problem yes, but slower acceleration.

The 6AT gearbox is Aisin 09G, a few model such as Mini Cooper and Audi US market using it. Some older unit experienced jerking gear shift which was due to solenoid valve issue, my friend's Mini Cooper experienced that then he replace used gearbox.

Common problem to certified genuine Polo 1.6NA MK5 are:
1. Original brake pad made by Apache India juddering, can be resolved by skim brake disc and use 3rd party brake pad such as TRW and Brembo.
2. Center handrest compartment opener broken.
3. Front ECU bracket broken, can be resolved by cable tie.
4. Gear shifter rubber bush broken, cannot shift gear lever. Most people panicked and call tow truck or ask foreman come onsite replace. Pro guy go engine bay use thumb to push the shifter to start car, reinsert back then try luck shift and quickly go workshop...
5. Aircond compressor I think solenoid or clutch something faulty. Many will tell you replace full compressor RM2k above. My friend claimed warranty but have to left car at VW PJ (sudah bungkus kedai) 1 month last time due to they telling it will costs RM7k. There are some shops can replace the faulty part within RM500 I think.
6. ABS speed sensors on 4 wheel will take turn gone faulty within 2 months, I guess lifespan is like that. Nowadays very cheap OEM less than RM90/pc with labor.

Yeah all those above problems are not trolling but every owners confirmed eventually will get unless bought new and resell within 3 years.

ofkos it's the Mk7 or Mk7.5

Okay so this mk7 and mk7.5 wouldnt have much problem on the engine and transmission right?

kena these 3. the center armrest latch is near impossible to find replacement. luckily for the aircond compressor issue, my car was still under warranty so syukur didn't have to pay a dime.

I wouldn't say as reliable as a Japanese engine and gearbox, but Mk7.x lesser problem.
Also the 2.0 engine using the wet clutch DSG is the more reliable one compared to the 1.4 with the dry clutch DSG.

vagtechnik cheras, im not sure the price is good or not...my family car all send to them to service...so far is reasonable n service is good.

I see.. may I know the car mileage?

its a beetle 1.2 2013 mileage around 120k to 130k...im not sure really sure...the car sitting on my mom house most of the time now. i believe one of the reasons why so many thing spoiled bcos the car is rarely driven.

120-130k is decently used but okay lah 10k and it’s good for another few years again. 2013 year end or?
