Yeah. I did today. Upon detailed explanation, one of the guy here is correct. The 'upgrades' are rather standard for 2015-2016 A4. All current A4 got the same equipment & upgrades. Nothing special.

And yes, with the 19 wheels, the car feels lethargic & i can feel the road surface. Maybe because i usually drive suv with thick rubbers. However, look wise, the 19" is stunning.

The price was around 218k with all the goodies. Discounted from 240k normal price. The price of 2.0 is way higher cant remember.

And so... i took the CC for a final spin. i think i alrdy kena racun kaw kaw & i agreed to take his CC. shame on me since i said i dont wanna take it earlier. Been a week in dilemma. Tomorrow settle loan & change name.

Wow.. U sure onot bro? Haha. Congrats with yr new car! Hope your unit is not a lemon lah. I thought u turned yr head to A4 already

There's only 2 things you need to do:

1. Learn to drive on manual mode and your car will be fine.

Basically what I mean is:

- coming to stop, switch to manual and allow the gear to auto shift down.
- from rest traffic, manually shift gear 1 to 3 and then switch back to D
- If possible, don't use the autohold function

2. Service your car every 7500km or around 13000km instead of the usual 15000km.

Point 1 is especially important to preserve your gearbox clutch.

Not much else is needed to be done, the EA888 engine and turbo are both extremely robust. Any further worries will only occur around the 90k - 100k mileage mark, that's when you start needing to replace the wear and tear parts of the car.

After owning 2 VW vehicles, all i can say is avoid buying VW. Among all the German makes, they are the least reliable.

And u will have alot of surprises everyday. Check engine light, coolant light, and a host of other stuff.

For a peace of mind, stick with Toyota. The Camry Hybrid is superb!

Something to add;
-Change dsg fluid at every 30k km instead of 60k as in service booklet.

To credit VW, the TSI (turbocharged) and DSG gearbox indeed a killer machine on the road. No regret if you are looking for a great performance car.

Having said that, the technology (TSI & DSG) suffers from defect (i personally called it). The TSI and DSG both are wear and tear part and no one can tell when is going to break. You got to know it in and out about the technology especially the DSG, for example, What are the common symptoms of DSG failure and risk should DSG failed while on the high speed.

Another nightmare you need to deal with is the VW Service Center unless you are avoiding them then you can ignore this message. The VW service center has so far not meeting customer expectation. Some VW owner do compliment but mostly are complaints. Not having mention the road assistance service also another terrible experience. Don't hope Volkswagen Malaysia would be assisting, more than often they are ignorant, not listening, and not value to customer feedback.

I owned a Jetta 1.4 and it was pleasure and fun to drive. By coincidence, few times on the North-South Highway, joining 2-3 VW car zig zag-ing overtaken car was fun. The power that the TSI gives you and the DSG smooth transmission gearbox was perfect married for this machine.

One of my friend told me the laggy at low speed could be because of turbo lag.

Good luck and hope you would marry with the Volkswagen Passat CC. (Despite all the negative feedback about VW).

Cheers.

Yeah, made up my mind for the cc. i got kawan kawan price; i settle his outstanding loan, changed name, settle.

Tq for the input & reccomendations. Will definitely take that into account. U recommend to stick with official vw service centre or just send elsewhere?

Ouch! I hope this one wont be the same..

Will surely keep that in mind. Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot! It took me almost 2 weeks to finally decide for this car. Some said its a good car, some said otherwise. Service wise, previous owner told me that the centre is fine so far. Still considering whether to stick to the centre to go elsewhere.

If it still has official warranty and extended warranty, then make sure the car is sent back to any official SC to service every 15000km. Do not exceed the mileage by 1500km or warranty will void. They are very strict on this.

You only need to change the engine and gearbox oil with them, everything else like air cond filter, tires or brake pads etc are considered wear and tear items and can be changed elsewhere without warranty issues.

If no warranty then why bother going back?

Bro, Any recommendation service VW outside of VW SC? The warranty going expired this year and looking to do regular maintenance outside VW SC. Thanks.

There are many around kelang valley, which area you are from? Than otai- otai here can recommend you.

Plenty:

Clovertech Garage
M-Power Technique
EA Autoworks
Terminal R
Das Werkstatt Auto
Eurowerks
New Power Speed Auto Car Services

All of them are viable options.

I thought EA Autoworks is an accessory shop?

They do servicing as well. The standard oil change kind of job applies. They also have ECU tuning services for VW though it's not yet a widely known affair yet.

Hi TS, how is the ownership of this car like after these few months? Mind to share? I'm looking at a few options and CC is one of it.

This forum has been around a while inactive for a while now but since I happened to pass by, I'll share a bit.

Firstly, the one CC I currently drive on and off(being my folks car) is the 2014 1.8L Sportline with 18inch rim and few extra stuffs over the Comfortline. So far we have been lucky that nothing happened during the few months of ownership. The gearbox was a little rough when moving from stationary. But that was fixed in the 1st recall when VW SC replaced the synthetic GB oil with a mineral one. The CC cornering ability is great thanks to it's extra big rims and wide tyres but at the expense of comfort as the tyre profile is 40%. Acceleration is decent even though it's 1.8L is tuned to abt 160hp. Would be great if they tuned it, let's say... 180hp?

I could go on but maybe I take questions from you to narrow down what you want to know about.

Hi, ownership has been good. Gearbox is a little bit jerky at times, but nothing serious i guess. Only happen in low speed. Cant comment much, travelled only around 8k for almost one year ownership
