no one will buy ur VW when there is no warranty while it's supposed to still have it. people will suspect something wrong. either you sell it dirt cheap & lose more than rm50k, or pay rm50k to fix it.

don't forget DSG tend to break around the 5th year, or usually after the 5th year where warranty just expired.

ThN inhouse mech, skim it n sell it off under Table

many times told already don't buy VW
reason you buy for what? so you can spend more money on spare parts later on?

my friend drives VW passat and is a close call final destination due to malfunctioning brake while driving on 60kmh. Ahead of him is a giant ass lorry stops at the traffic light and he swift to the left and collide the light pose.

When sent to the workshops and the mechanic say is normal so ya thats what workshop says wether u want to take a risk or be stupid. After nearly 3 to 4 weeks pick up his nightmare car from the workshop and immediately sell it.

thats VW style.

I think the entire vw management team should be fired including that md..

That day.. i f them i said why fix 1 small part need so long time.. somemore so expensive car no courtesy car as promise.. the SA dare to say it infront my face.. "sir .. ur car no longer expensive.. becoz now they are offering 40% off" wtf man..

Another lagi real bodoh promo story.. recently paultan announce they give free petrol... so i was thr to claim.. becoz i boh song them at least get something in return..

9am sat.. i was there.. saw bunch of vw promo guy sitting inside shell minum kopi.. so i ask them got free petrol ar.. he said not yet  but 10am.. so i lepak thr..

9.30am suddenly whole shell full with vw car.. and many kiasu conquer the island waiting those people to come out... everyone came out lepak n wait

10am.. they told everyone the same thing .. wait

10.30am.. finally they are out.. thr are about 30 vw that time.... mana tau they only announce only 5 car entitile.. everyone tulan went back.. scold them like hell..

I got it becoz i was the 1st 1 thr in the station.. i ask them why u dowan to tell everyone thr is only 5 quota.. he said.. coz their intention is to give VW owner suprise when they are selected for free petrol so they will be happy.. wtf..

So cheapskate don do la...

2010, VW Golf GTi mk5 every where, no more evo subaru whatever.

2012 VW golf GTi mk6 every where, almost like myvi.

2015, no more MK7 seens, as rare as ferrari

not to mention there's a lot hidden in warranty terms and condition where nobody knows what is  the term 5 years warranty . Although asking salesman give 5 years warranty but not telling whats the term of 5 years. Therefore 2 years fully warranty and 3 years claim your nightmare from insurance so ya only stupid ones never do research or ask people who drives VW car.

there aren't many VW owners who has owned a VW other than the old Beetle long enough to know the issues.

only now problems starts popping up because many VW owners reaching the 5 years mileage.

but we never hear Audi owners complain so much? I'm sure Audi has as much problems as VW & the cost to repair & replace is much more than VW, and Audi's been around Malaysia much longer than VW, and has been using high tech stuffs like DSG for more than 10 years. They just sell off their old Audis and buy a new Audi.

do you own audi before? my dad has one so far have no issue than VW does so why are you trying to comparing apple and orange? is about service and warranty  issue

As a owner

I think the problem is not the car.. but is the service.. many things can be solved in max a day .. even changing clutch or mechatronic..

Many things they know that has done recalled in other countries.. they just keep quiet here

Most of my problem all can be fix in few hour.. but stupid vw procedure too slow.. thats y it become days or weeks.. those part that suppose to be here.. they like to store it in singapore so making it 2 weeks to arrive here.. so pissing ppl off..

Announce will givw courtesy car.. but kedekut.. 1 sc many got 3 unit for loan..

Furthermore different SC has different procedure and system are not linked.. that cause alot problem again

SA are not trainned properly.. no transparency between staff and manager and manager with vgm..

Immagine .. just by checking why my key not working has to take 1 week.. wtf is wrong.. email HQ.. Hq reply 5 days later with msg like... we will assure SC will contact u.. got send like no send

Like what posted by TS.. volkswagen group so big can even build lambo, posrche, bently but dowan to admit fault on its cable quality which can be so easily broken because a small bit

Wow... Wtf is this wiring harness

Yup thats what they did when we had an accident last year, saga cium buntut..



Repair costs

you're lucky.

my car almost totalled last time.

die die they dowan to write off to adjuster, say can fix.

car cost last time? around 230k

insurance claim? 200k.

only later on i found out that they insist to repair, and only later on also i found out that the margin to bring in spare part is many many times higher than just provide me with a new car. 

in the workshop for 1+ year.

so ur car having a nice sex stranded in the workshop?

yeah

what's worse is that back then they only brought in very limited roccos, like 10 units only. and no 5 year warranty. somemore if you need to send your car for normal servicing, need to book 2 weeks or a month in advance. normal fking service, like topup oil and shit. so got a few times memang lama nak kena tunggu booking, especially nearing holidays so I kenot tahan do my own. they wanted to void the warranty. had to pull some strings, they backtracked their threat.

then car got totalled. not by me also, but that's another story la. that's when I knew how shitty VW malaysia/singapore (back then singapore was the HQ) was. but yeah, long story short, really bad experience.

the car, on the other hand, performed beyond expectation. seriously, 2.0 rocco drives better than a ferrari, on msian roads. but the service centre? ako makan taik lagi sedap dari send to them. why'd you think wearnes genting kelang tutup, wearnes sungai besi tutup, etc?

Bit more details on the bolded part boss. Intriguing.
