guys,

anyone install side sill step in your car? i was thinking to get one... but worries if they will void my warranty because there's a blue led in it...not sure if there will be a separate wiring or not..

I installed the plate only, without LED. Refer pic below, haven't tear the blue plastic protector top yet.
I prefer the door light brows.gif This one require wiring to the door module (forgot what name, CAN bus ?) and some VCDS setting.

Several ways you can wire your door sill. I guess it should be default 12V input.
1) Not the best, but run the wires under carpet or bottom door sill, tap to the cigarette lighter or fuse box (driver side dashboard after you open door). Always on when you switch on the car.
2) Tap to the footwell lighting. Only on when the footwell also lights on. But at night, will be always on (?).
3) Tap to the door CAN-bus, need to run the wire through the bottom door sill, into door. Only on when door is open, similiar like my door lights above. May need VCDS. And tools to open the door panel. Most labour intensive among all.

If you cut any wires, it may affect warranty for that part/area. In my case, wire plug into CAN-bus, I can pull out and dismantle, to put back original door-reflector.

Saw there are few units of pre-reg Passat and golf advertising in mudah stated unused with completely new condition... Can anyone advise whether these car are worth to buy?
*
hmm... you asked in a VW thread for sure you gonna get "go buy", freaking worth it", "good drive", "top notch safety", but if you go to toyota thread.. you might heard a totally different thing, "unreliable", "freaking awful SC", "Very Worry", "workshop car"...

so which one is true?? or probably you can here with more specific questions, ie; worth in term of which aspect? safety? driving? reliability? performance?

Thanks opjust for the reply....
Actually im decided to buy a Passat, but was found some pre-reg units are advertising in the Mudah.com with attractive price. Was wonder is it a good deal to get a pre-reg unit ...
*
pre-reg is actually a good buy but currently VW is doing clearance of the passat model.. 2014 new unit is also having a good discount

wow! it's amazing to see people bashing VW because of its diesel emission scandal. It go through all the way to, their petrol engine also a cheat, their safety etc... is that bad???? why????

i think every manufacturer will have some sort of this "dirty games" be it toyota, honda, even BMW.

you are right! until you have been caught!! its just a matter of time.

Just another thought that came to mind... don't rule out cars with high mileage. 15-20,000 km per year is good; that means the car has spent little time in a workshop. I can't imagine there are many who would buy a Golf TSI as a "weekend" car.
*
I bought my car in June... 3months time already clocked almost 12k... haish!!
but sometimes, i could not understand ppl who don't want to drive their car because wanna save the mileage???

some are very calculative... even a simple ride during lunch hour... kinda funny but its true!!
for me... i would enjoy the ride as much as possible...

I got the Jetta for a week as courtesy car. The interior is abit dull and boring. If I'm not wrong, it's hard plastic bro. But compared to the Passat, it is less prone to rattling. Overall, the performance will put a smile in your face tongue.gif

Pay a visit to a showroom and test drive

I know the grey colour material looks a bit dull to some people... but it's not plastic bro... this is not civic...

30k km? Normally brake pad will last at least 60k km

yah i supposed to... but since during 15k services the thickness has drop quite a number so based on that i assume i need to change during 30k.
