They stated is 2013,but cars is mostly 2012/11....just look aircond buttons (jetta,passat), if pic is real.

The funny thing is that mostly is "One Lady Owner " or "VIP"...haha.

All cars when they sell also say lady owner ... hahahaha

15 years ago maybe they are rite - the car should be well taken care of, not much rough driving

nowadays - they are the ones who cucuk here and there, fender benders ... fucking dirty inside - messy

haha. apparently people still have the perception of lady owner low mileage stock car that does not know how to service parts of the car will sell better than the guy who drives hard(healthier engine probably), having a tuned car, but always particular when it comes to maintaining

Thanks BlitzAce. I got my passat from the bangsar showroom. I spoke to my sales agent today and she services her vw at the old klang road. Since she seems happy with OKR, I asked her to set me up with her Service Advisor at OKR when my car is due for servicing. Hope everything will go smoothly and I won't be one of the horror stories  sweat.gif

Btw, all the 2015 passat are already sold and is now on waiting list for this promotion. There was around 1,000 passat units sold in whole of Malaysia since the clearance sale. Jetta is also selling fast but Polo is lagging.

How do I join the VW FB group brows.gif

bro relek lah 15k is a long way to go for ur first service - it took me 6 months

in the mean time, think about the interim service - most do it at 7.5k, just oil change

and also think if you wanna do ur service at 10k interval(instead of 15k interval - no interim service)

till then you can decide which VW center to go ... no rush

i also received my passat last week, friday
same colour with urs ,bro

BTW, the DSG engine is really cool in gear shift, fast and steady
but i also feel that the interval of each gear switching is too short
almost gear up every 10km/hrs increased
frankly i feel "stress" while  car in front slowing down or depressed the brake
coz the car need decreased its gear ,mayb from ger 6 to gear 2 or 1 within 10 seconds
and picking up again within next 5-10seconds @@
is it too high tension to DSG gear box?

How's your guys avoid this?

Is it advisable that we use paddle shift to gear down while we saw some cars r slowing down in front?

Coasting function ? Does passat own this?
i saw this function in owner manual book but i cant find it in setting.
*
thats how DSG works, as you drive - it will monitor your incline or decline, the acceleration when you are driving at 1, its already got gear 2 engaged ready to move up, as the DSG always have 2 gears engaged, then when you go 3 its anticipating you to keep on accelerating and to move up to 3

its when in a start stop traffic, jam which causes the issue, the moment u brake - it will be confused as its expecting to shift up, but u brake, and it has go back downshifting

hence when you are in traffic jam, stick to S mode or manual

and when i wanna start from standstill - or when i am in parking area - i use S mode so it does up shift that much and then when i brake downshift again

when you drive normally in D, the shift from 1 to 2 is almost like non existence rite .. hahaha thats how smooth is it

and yeah the gears as per speed are

1-10km/h
2-20km/h
3-30km/h
4-40km/h
5-50km/h
6-60km/h
7-70km/h

if your minimum speed is not achiveved, it will not shift up

As long as the car doesnt breakdown too often, or even requires to be towed always, a little bit unrealible is fine for me.

hahaha thats the correct term ... soul less japanese cars ...

What is VIN no? I bought it on 2013 Nov. Not sure is affected unit.

Anyway I just back from service center, confirmed is mechatronic issue and they going to change it for me. Seems like I'm really the unlucky one to get affected for Golf Mk7.

just send in today, SA estimated complete by tomorrow. no courtesy car since is short replacement.

SA did mention if there is no stock for Mechatronic they might need to order from German or Singapore. He said it's not common for Mk7 to have this issue so they didn't keep stock.

Lets pray everything go smooth and it wont happen again. I believe I'm the first person we get this problem for Mk7 Golf.

Hi, after first week with my passat 1.8tsi
everything is good beside of central lock system
after i selected auto locking function, i can heard that the car lock been triggered continuously while car stop-and-go.
Mean after i drive to certain speed, the auto lock triggered and all doors locks. and vehicle stop and move again later on, u can hear and feel the car door been locked again and again.
Is it normal to VW car?
*
all 4 doors? never experienced this ... get it checked it out man

when it goes above 25 or 30km/h it will lock itself

and then when u stop and remove key - it will unlock all doors

Just to share my bad experience with VW FA Wagan at Hartamas which recently opened. I had a power window issue and unable to close my window. It was raining really bad that nigh but managed to go back home with my driver seat partly wet due to the window unable to be closed.

In the morning, since it was urgent, I went to VW Hartamas which is just 2 mins near my house (I live in Mont Kiara). This was my first time there and I usually went to Sg Besi Wearnes SC and this was where I bought my car. However, the Sri Hartamas SC refused to fix the power window saying that since I never go to FA Wagan service center before, I need to show all my previous car service receipt even though I did show them my service history book (my car is 4+ years old). They said that in order to claim under warranty, I need to show all the service receipt. I obviously did not keep the receipts since this was never necessary before.

Since I was already late to work, I drove my Viva car and asked my wife who was on maternity leave to help me to send to another VW service center. She went to TTDI Cargaz Autohauz and the SC helped to fix the power window, no question asked and FOC since it was under warranty (even though this was my first time there and I only needed to show my service book). They did not have the part, but they helped to locked my window in closed position and I came to get it fixed the following week.

My cousin who went to FA Wagen Glenmarie also mentioned the same thing where they wanted to see original service receipt if you never been there before. They gladly accepted if you want to service there, but refused if you want to claim for defect.

I then lodged formal complaint with VW Malaysia. But they stopped responding to my e-mail when I asked if FA Wagen is allowed to refused service like that and if we are required to keep service receipt and if book service only is sufficioent. They did not want to formally admit that what FA Wagan did was allowed or not. And just stopped to respond to me even after I sent multiple reminders.

In summary, Cargaz SC is good while FA Wagan SC is to be boycotted.

my car was from wearnes sg besi - went to cergaz in ttdi and was given the same scenario like urs ... i went back to sg besi ...

For battery warranty claim you may need to leave your car at least half-day for them to inspect before providing the replacement battery.
Keep an eye on your Mecha since mine gone after jump-start.
For SC, i dont have idea since from Penang.
*
All SC will say need to check voltage after a certain period of not charging from car ...

but last month i was at Wing Hin for 30k service, it took longer than usual bout 4 hours, when asked they say oh we are changing your battery coz its low voltage already ...

i check the batt - it is new

new SOP?

As a fresh grad, better put your money into something else. Save for your first property perhaps? Unless you're from rich family, then it's by all means go ahead.

bro - might not be true ...

as a fresh grad - u need a job to survive rite - but most of the time - the job might require you to travel to the office - very likely no public transportation to get there

means need to get a car also leh

only advise we can provide - is perhaps get a cheaper used car ...

no way they can trace the type of oil u used outside, unless they bring it to the lab - at the end it will come out as black oil ...

Does VW Service Center allow 3rd Party Claim for accidents ?

Heard from Balai Tun H.S Lee Traffic (Photog area) that VW will repair the car based on your own insurance first and 3rd party claim it later.. Is this true ?
