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

my 1.5 yr old b7 also starting to show the early signs. my other vw mk5 gti had it replaced (kepong), now after 3 years still good as new now altho color very slightly off. this headline problem is common problem for vw (hot climate).
the usual suspect is the central cushion kepong, last time rm450 + gst but heard the price increase recently. many other shops can do the same now

you mean the b7 passat has DSG7 dry which his DQ200

passat cc, early 2009-2010 some come with tiptronic, then some 2010-2011 2.0T comes with DSG6 DQ250, while the facelifted CC came with 1.8T dsg7

the 2.0T dsg6 passat cc is the one to get. my friends now probably exceeded 250K Km, tuned most of its life, once at stage 3 k04 but now dekit already

Can never go wrong with the 2.0T 😬

Not sure which one that is gen 2 or 3 EA888

I think the dsg should has the gearknob written as dsg, altho shape of the knob might not necessarily tell the story
(Banana shape knob PCC is always dsg, the jumbo shifter on the other hand could mean both)

Yes, i would say tiptronic is still more reliable than any dsg, eventho dsg6 is considered reliable (my dsg6 had dsg bearing gone where got a halfcut dsg to replace)

But you will miss the smoothness and ultra fast dsg shift

just read that you are fellow mk5 user.

unfortunately i have no idea about door lock module. where did you get it quoted? have you tried other shops, or alternatively half cut or ebay etc?

i am looking to upgrade my MFD

have you got it installed? have you stage 2 yet? as it is not recommended to run bigger downpipe for a stock car.

everco should be alright as far as quality goes altho it can be pricier and might get poison there lol

Are you looking for more sound or just want to prepare early for stage 2 mods? If it is just sound, you can do a simple resonator remove or change catback. On gti 6 and 5, it(reso delete) is proven to give sportier sound and louder fart. Changing to a bigger less restrictive dp gives a sportier sound as well but at the expense of clean air, and stock map might not be optimised for it as well imho

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
