Guys, my golf TSI MK 7 battery is worn out, do you guys know where could I find a battery replacement, from SC a bit costly

Hello guys.
Owner of a B7 Passat here. Entered the car today and had a shocker - the roof lining / upholstery had separated from the underlying foam.
Heard that it is a common problem for this kind of car 

Hence I would like to get some suggestion from you guys. Any recommended repair shop to do it? Mod a little should be ok also (e.g. change material) 
- area, KL, PJ, Subang.

Can't comment on the Jetta. But as a Passat owner, coming close to 5 years... I'd side with Civic any day over Jetta.
VW might have better drivability (if that's a word) and look good, that's about it. For peace of mind, look else where.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm still tempted to get another VW, just that my wife ban the brand already 

hi so sorry for the late response, in the end I just paid for it to get my car fixed at dubwerkz.

Recently i sent my car at vagtechnik glenmarie, i guess they are alright, they have another branch in balakong iinm
Dubwerkz too far from me
I have been changing too many shops

I own a Passat B7, and I'm one service away to the 5 years warranty expiry in September (although they extended the warranty on engine for another 3 years).
I have never really given it much thought in the past, but what do most of you do with your VW once the warranty expires?

1. Sell it off immediately (when it is still in drivable condition!) - Although might need to pay back to the back cos re-sell value is crap.
2. Keep it til it needs some major over-hauling (doubt will have much value even if you sell it then), in the meantime, keep paying for wear & tear stuff...
3. Buy some other new car (still keep the VW for backup, but don't drive it much to reduce wear & tear)
4. others??

Well, I enjoy my B7 too although it has been into the SC twice for Mechatronics issues (1 month downtime each) and once for Catalytic Converter (2 weeks) issue (in 4.5 years).
My only problem is if these issues somehow re-occur after the warranty expires, the cost might not be justifiable.

B6 is between 2006-2010, how many years have your warranty expired? Do you still go back to VW SC? the VW SA said after 100k KM, its all Major Service every time 
Have you changed any major parts since the warranty expired?

hi VeeJay, sorry for the delayed response, haven't been checking forums diligently haha.

I have not been to vag technik, but will definitely check them out the next time, overall dubwerkz was ok, it was recommended by a friend who knew the owner of the shop, and they were willing to drop by my place after working hours (till 2am) to check my car's problem.

Took about 1-2 weeks to get my car fixed, but I think in terms of pricing, other places might be better I think.

Hi.

Just got myself a used mk6 GTI. After my research, I got 3 of these.

Vagtechnik, Dubwerkz, Deutsche

Which one is better? In terms of cost and experience

All far from me... So distance doesn't matter lol

From Ampang here.

Just changed waterpump and timing cover gasket today

Hi guys, how you all doing. I have a question. My dad's Golf MK7 TSI spare tyre rim is dented. Other than getting from original service centre (too expensive), where else I can find it at a cheaper price.  My dad say cannot be used any more as the tyre will puncture anytime due to the tyre also having lumps. Thanks =)

On a side note, do you guys recommend using racechip?

Hey, thanks for your quick reply. I appreciate it. Do you have any kereta potong to recommend? I tried mudah ealier. But I dont think i have searched for the right keywords.

so far for maintenance is it vw car maintenance will be expensive ?
compare from german car vs japan car?

Hi all,

i have a question regarding my Passat CC (2009 model).

when i am driving, especially on roads with a down hill turn, the gear box will go into protection mode (limping mode or whatever it is called) and i cant upshift or down shift. I will need to stop the car, kill the engine and restart the car then it is ok.

I believe the problem lies with the gearbox, is there any good volkswagon mechanic that you can recommend? any where within Klang Valley is fine.

thanks alot!

New Passat B8 owner reporting in (well mine is pre-reg anyway). Still learning the so many functions of this car (coming from Proton, a huge jump for me)

Hi all Sifu,
Just got my Passat 2.0. Any tips on taking care the car? Autohold, engine on/off features and how to take care DSG gearbox?

Also do you guys recommend polish or wax the car will do?

according to the salesman it is MKD (similar to CKD, but more parts were pre-assembled before coming to this country)

normal odb2 bluetooth dongle cannot be used. for detailed diagnostics you need vagcom software.

bmw vw Peugeot most manufacturer have their own proprietary scan tool

Many manufacturer extends the standard OBD2 codes. Need their own scan tool to make use of it. 

Basic info you have to try. Might be too little info being given by standard OBDII. No harm trying. Plenty cheap OBDII connector / adaptor in the market.
