I highly recommend European Car Services in Sunway Damansara Tech Park. Why?

1. They dont simply replace parts. I saved $'000 with Ivan
2. They have pickup and drop off service from your house/office. A big bonus for me
3. Specialize in European cars (duh, the name says it all)

BTW I pulled the trigger on a '11 GTI Mk6 after a loooong consideration. Test drove it on Saturday and sealed the deal.

Good thread madasis, i browsed through it and found it very helpful and informative. Should be pinned IMHO for future reference - or I can C&P (if i'm not violating any copyright rules) to the local VM Golf GTI forum

Nope. Doesnt sound like a problem to me.

Read this -> DSG Game

And learn how the gearbox behaves and why it behaves this way. This article should be a mandatory read for all to-be DSG owners.

Did you buy the 9w7 on your own, or did the RM150 include everything (install + bluetooth unit)? If not supplied, where did you get your 9w7 from?

The difference between a VW and the Jazz is very different in terms of brake handling. With standard specs, the most obvious difference is in the brakes and the feedback you get from your foot. Jazz = spongey and lots of travel before "biting". VW you immediately get the bite and it's progressive with lots of feel. It's like night and day, you should test drive first and feel for yourself.

My wife drives a 2015 Jazz and I drive a VW.

Sounds like one or more of your cylinders not firing, may require either spark plug change or your ignition coils need changing. I'm no expert and poor engine idling could be due to dirty / faulty plugs or coils.

See this link from VWForums

Where did you get your wheels from? I'm smitten by them

Phuuaaahh Bro... sweet!

Curious Bro, how come Home Minister ask you change car? change to BMW ka?

You'll definitely be having a great time on your purchase. Looking forward to seeing you on the roads very soon and welcome to the GTI club

Wah nice shoes! Where to change shoes like that? I'm looking for a VMR retailer too (or BBS). Can recommend?

Im not expert but in Jan same thing happened to me. The source of problem is common and the fix is quite simple if you are willing to get some grease on your hands. Rating of complexity is 1 out of 5. I had mine replaced with SC and each was RM650 new - thank God for warranty. But the bad thing was the SC took ONE full day to replace. You can do it within 40 mins.

If you dont do anything, the on-board computer is not able to accurately read your speed and anything speed related, like fuel consumption, ABS, brakes, gear change, etc will not function 100% as the car needs to know how fast each tire is turning.

Each tire has a sensor and due to brake dust, dirt etc it gets clogged easily - a common problem. All you have to do is remove it, clean and replace. Some people take off the tires, some dont even have to remove tires. Clean with what? Brake cleaner fluid loh, can buy from any A1 Hardware store, etc. Tools? A 20mm spanner (I think it's 20).

To see where this thingy is located, see this YouTube for ABS Sensor. The guy removed tire so that you can see where the sensor is located.

I bet you're going to ask, which sensor? Aiyah do all lah, 40 mins only mah.

No problem Bro. I'm really enjoying my Mk6 GTI and hope this helps a fellow GTI owner.

For an "R" that is good price. 4WD, 280HP stock - it's a rocket that's outrun a lot of porsches and Beemers.

Does "Japan spec" means it's speed limited to conform to Japan road rules? I used to own a Japan spec car that tops 220km/h but the US/Canada version goes up to 250+.

But then again just visit any ECU guy and you're happy again.

WHY!?!??!

It's about there. I replaced 3 units in Jan.

I posted an article somewhere here that it gets dirty and the cleaning job can be done in 15 mins DIY. no special tools required. Just jack up, clean, replace. There's even a YouTUbe video showing you how to do it

Ya. All you need is to do the following:
1. Jack up your car (safely)
2. Locate the sensor. Remove the connector
3. Using a 20mm wrench, remove the retaining bolt
4. Take out sensor and clean with brake fluid (available from A-1 Hardware Stores, under Auto section)
5. Replace
6. Tighten the 20mm bolt. Replace the connector

Done. Should take between 15-30 mins job.

What happens is that the brake dust gets all over it, not to mention mud, sand, etc. All it requires is a good cleaning and you save RM380 / wheel. Unless it's really damaged all you need to do is clean it.

In meantime, all the best and have fun. Post it here if you've done it already

Which model did you test drive? Different model have different gear boxes (7-speed dry clutch, 6-speed wet clutch, etc)

Cergaz not bad. Try them

Congratulations, you'll love the drive
