Hey guys, my loan just got approved yesterday & im getting my Golf GTi Mk7 i think somewhere around next week. It's a pre-reg car from VW Sg Besi there. Got it @ RM198,000 including insurance.
Registered Dec 15, with mileage of 1,200KM. Pretty good deal to me i think.
But then again, just only today im having a second thought about this car. Is it true it has that infamous DSG problem? As someone had mentioned it here before.
EDIT: Also, any good recommended service centers? I heard the one in TTDI is quite good.

QUOTE(deftons @ Feb 25 2016, 02:34 PM) Sounds like a good deal. Myself is looking for one as well, but might go for 2nd hand instead. The DSG issue only applies to DSG dq200, while GTi is using DSG dq250 if not mistaken. QUOTE(outpace @ Feb 26 2016, 08:22 AM) MK7 GTi , badass and sexiest GTi in my eyes, 6 speed wet clutch, don't worry, enjoy your drive! Wolf muscle in the disguise of rabbit, btw what colour? QUOTE(SeanFD2 @ Feb 26 2016, 10:55 AM) Mk7 gti tech pack or normal spec? Yeah hopefully guys. Getting my car next Thursday if everything goes well. My car is black in color, and tech pack |

QUOTE(BlitzAce @ May 9 2016, 04:28 PM) Mmmm its the Polo Sedan facelift with 1.2 TSI. Basically they just bring in the Vento variants from India and assemble em here. So it's actually Polo Sedan facelift la? Btw found this Discover ProFinally someone managed to do it for Golf / GTi Mk7. Really interested to install to my GTi Mk7 but the price RM15k  |

QUOTE(BlitzAce @ May 9 2016, 05:54 PM) Yes its Polo Sedan. Vento sounds nicer aye? Should come in several variants - maybe 3 like in India. One might mistook it as a Jetta like the name used to be but wellll.. Indeed the Discover Pro retrofit is very interesting, with Carplay/Android Auto and such. Pair it with the reverse camera, and walla! 20k burned in a blink of an eye   Actually he quoted me RM13k if i am really interested. Includes reverse cam too. Do you think it's worth it bro? So far im loving my GTi Mk7 but there;s something i feel missing which is this Discover Pro |

QUOTE(BlitzAce @ May 9 2016, 06:40 PM) I don't know - it's very tempting, and if I'm Najib's (or Nazri's..) son I'd do it in a heartbeat. Rationally I'd wait till the price goes down which, it should. I recall RNS510 retrofits back then were pretty pricey too. I remember playing around with the 2nd gen MIB in the Beetle Club - slightly larger screen with better resolution, more features and faster, to boot. And then after the DP retrofit you'll want the side assist, Park Assist and KESSY retrofit (which will surely come) too... the pain ugh. Thanks for knocking some sense into me bro haha. I also don't it is necessary. It is just my wants rather than my needs. Maybe a year from now the price should slice more than half I hope |

QUOTE(SeanFD2 @ May 25 2016, 02:48 PM) Drive since November 2013. So far everything ok. Is just got a weird sound from engine which can't be rectify since day one till now due to threat sound always came out without your expectation. Sent to SC but can't find what's the problem. With very charactered, it only came out once I a month or once in few months. Bro what's the sound like? Driving a GTi Mk7 too since early March 16. So far touch wood, no problem / noise. |

QUOTE(kadajawi @ Aug 5 2016, 05:48 AM) Only in Malaysia do they call that a Highline... This is a photo from my Highline... [attachmentid=7250605] Though to be honest, the piano black plastic is often seen as inferior to the fake aluminium plastic used in Trendline/Comfortline Golfs. It looks neat, but is harder to maintain. Dust is an issue, for example. To be fair to VWM, they did spec most of the options that a true Highline would bring. No Alcantara though... Bro, Highline now provides 8" Discover Pro headunit? Do you know if i could get one from VGM? Cause my GTi Mk7 is the smaller 5" head unit. Been aiming to get the Discover Pro for quite some time already. |

QUOTE(stasio @ Aug 12 2016, 02:49 PM) QUOTE(kadajawi @ Aug 12 2016, 09:31 PM) No, the previous owner spent roughly RM 10k to order the car with Discover Pro. It is awesome, but the price is just way too high. Can retrofit btw. Just seeking for your opinions, is it worth it to spend RM10k for the Discover Pro. I am tempted but the price is holding me back |

QUOTE(ollec @ Aug 15 2016, 11:44 AM) I think if you can afford it, worthiness is in the eyes of the beholder haha QUOTE(BlitzAce @ Aug 15 2016, 11:49 AM) Yea if you can afford it w/out any problems why not. Add up the reverse camera, too. Surprisingly, for Discover Pro not many people are selling it though. Unlike RNS510 for the Mk6, you could easily find few people selling it last time |

QUOTE(BlitzAce @ Aug 15 2016, 12:23 PM) Yea mk7s has that CP thing making retrofits a bit hard than mk6s, so I guess that's why. Not un-defeatable, but, uh, harder. While the prev gen RCD is (mostly) plug and play it's not the case with the new MIB headunits. Plus I don't think Carplay/Android Auto is officially available here anyway for the time being..? But I've played a bit on the MIBII which is installed on the limited edition Beetle Club and oh boy, am I hooked. Faster, bigger/higher res screen. And ofc the Mirrorlink support. Yes you are right, i talked to the Quattro Motorsports guy. And he did mention that some features are not availble. But Carplay and Android Auto are working fine. Yes, i actually youtube the features of Discover Pro and mannnn, i am hooked right away. But RM10k for a headunit made me think thrice bro haha |

QUOTE(SetaNoriyasu @ Aug 15 2016, 11:54 AM) It depends on the value you think you'll get out of it. In my case I decided against it because its >10% of my car's purchase value for a fancy radio that can mirror my phone and a fancier instrument cluster. Does it have an impact on performance? No. Will it improve my driving QOL? Not really, apple carplay/android auto is nice if its already there but I won't go out of my way to get it. But to each his own. I 100% agree with you. It is just your wants and not actually something you really need it. |
