As if the earlier posting about VW taking their own sweet time approving claims is bad, imagine this;-

You drive your 1-year old Passat & realized the parking brake isn't working. You had it towed to an authorized service centre.

The mechs checked and found the wire harness torn. What's interesting was they found bite marks & suspects rats being the culprit.

What's astonishing is Volkswagen Group Malaysia's response saying "Due to external factor, no warranty".

The repair cost to be borne by the owner? RM52,882.98. Yes, FIFTY TWO THOUSAND!

And VGM says if you do outside, vehicle warranty would be void so either accept the repair cost or risk doing outside and forgo warranty.

So for those who thought they got a good deal with the recent "cheap" Passats, what would you do if you're the owner?




in the heart of volkswagen driver wouldnt mind to pay ridicule price. bagus to VW

although it looks to be cheap

Authorized service centers don't help you fix your cars they just help you replace parts (in this case the whole fucking harness wire). I had same experience with bmw, transfer case gear wear off, they quote replace whole transfer system @rm24k, I laughed at them and change it at workshop for less than rm1.5k.

Is not the wire mang.
Is the German engineering required to produce those wires. You think is cheapskate proton or japon low class engineering ah?

R&D cost, design cost, system cost. Is the complete integration that makes it expensive. Is unlike japon car where sensor fail still can drive one.
Vw conti super intelligent car one sensor gonna fail system can auto detect and light up warning and stop the car refuse to start. That way can avoid further damage to the car liao.

Since late 1990 onwards till today, all car wiring cables has different ratings. Different amp and volts for those cables. Why? Save cost. They do not need to use same cable gauge that would cost more. And use cheaper gauge cables on some areas like lights. LED lights does not need to use high gauge rating cables so they use cheaper cables there.

The idea that all cables have same capability is not valid anymore. Just ask any car wiring shop if they could replace your modern car wiring with cables that they buy off shelf. It will not work.

Authorized service centers don't help you fix your cars they just help you replace parts (in this case the whole fucking harness wire). I had same experience with bmw, transfer case gear wear off, they quote replace whole transfer system @rm24k, I laughed at them and change it at workshop for less than rm1.5k.

Absolutely agree, they will replace the whole part even if a small small thing is faulty

Spend 50k fix. Later gearbox kong blame cat piss on gearbox and the urine sipped in and screwed with it and voided warranty, then how?

50k is not buying the confirmation they won't void u with another reason next time u know. Jus to give them a chance to cone up with another reason to screw with u.

Personally, i'd take my chances elsewhere.

Accident claim insurance ma. Not their problem. Also not owner problem.

Only insurer got problem. Sure next time u see vw bang headlight also kena write off bcos terkena some wiring that will cost half the value of the car to replace. End up write off cheaper.

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.

Forget the warranty. Take it outside and repair. It probably less than 1k.

After repair, sell it away. Than viral that farking vw sc.

Apart from the engine and gearbox, just burn the warranty. Get a good mechanic and source out some halfcuts.

My smart also same. I bought 1 halfcut with all the wiring, engine and gearbox for RM 6K. But, it also came with 4 doors and 1 sunroof. Bargain really. Now I've enough parts for at least 10 years.

so dat means u gave consent to them but u didnt noe its not covered under warranty

then nex time if got any parts need to change or spoil, ask this very important question, 'is it covered under warranty?', 'how much?'

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.

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.

VW car not bad la, last time Golf GTi is the only sports hatch available in Malaysia and that 1 car pretty much saved VW Malaysia. The beetle design also many people like. Technology wise their engine quite powerful for it's capacity, and they use the F1 tech DSG for better efficiency & performance.

so you pay for the high tech the same way Audi owners pay for it but they pay more for their Audis.

if want reliable conti, get a Merc that doesn't come with AMG/Airmatic/MCT.

BWM always have plastic crack problem.

Volvo used to be good but now too high tech with their electronics.

Peugeot not suitable for hot weather countries.

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.

if your friend in US or Europe, already sued VW for potential damage, even if no physical harm done he will sue for trauma, and get compensated in big sum of money, or out of court settlement with a decent sum of money.

in Malaysia you have to pay for the repair.

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...
*
thing is did VW announce this to public, or was it not supposed to be announced so that the 1st 5 VW owners driving to Shell get free petrol as surprise? if VW announced it but never say only 5 cars then VW is low, but can't help if some insider leaked the info out, those guys just doing their jobs, but they can take another 30mins lepak then go back 5 minutes later. easy job.

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.

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

my car almost totalled last time.

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. ranting.gif

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?

hmmmmmm how can I say ah...


ok DUKE, otw to ampang. the long right corner just before wangsa maju exit. road is slightly bumpy.

rocco, medium suspension. i can pull 200kph no problem. car is stable. feels planted on the road.

felali 430. anything higher than 200 and can feel the car flying a bit.


what I can say is that it's just not designed for the common malaysian road. rocco smoothes out the bumpiness so much that I use soft suspension setting for my daily drive.


basically, the car feels more balanced. kinda like if you pit mx5 vs a felali on the same road. the feeling of accelerating in corner vs braking in corner affects your driving experience so much. after all msian road nak laju mana sangat.

at RM52k the service center clearly does not want to fix the problem for you, they are either lazy or just don't know how to fix it, they basically force the victim to void his warranty by sending else where repair.

it's fucking stupid though, how are the cables so exposed that rats can go in and chew it, first time even hear something like this, i can leave my 10 yr old busted toyota (spare car) out there not driven for a week and it'll still run just fine.

if anything, maybe can sue for bad design.

I think most Malaysian expectations is expensive = good = high class = reliable.

totally agree with takadanicklagi on this, it never bodes well for the brand when they split the service centres from the sales unit.

IMHO basically at this point VW is just selling off their old models at mad discounts then when something happens they quote you some stupid price to recover back some of the profits that were lost. So it's really up to your luck if you got a car in good condition which is technically unethical but not necessarily illegal.

VW car not bad la, last time Golf GTi is the only sports hatch available in Malaysia and that 1 car pretty much saved VW Malaysia. The beetle design also many people like. Technology wise their engine quite powerful for it's capacity, and they use the F1 tech DSG for better efficiency & performance.

so you pay for the high tech the same way Audi owners pay for it but they pay more for their Audis.

if want reliable conti, get a Merc that doesn't come with AMG/Airmatic/MCT.

BWM always have plastic crack problem.

Volvo used to be good but now too high tech with their electronics.

Peugeot not suitable for hot weather countries.

Peugeot is very popular in Spain... which, guess what, has hot weather. Much hotter than Malaysia.

VW engines are decent to drive, and quite powerful for their size, but the fuel consumption... I only got 550 km out of a full tank (had to fill in 50 liters...), and I was mostly doing 160, sometimes 200. Going light on the accelerator.

One thing though... avoid the DSG. Their manual boxes have improved a lot and are good fun these days. No need to worry about rolling back down a hill... just activate the auto hold function, and it will hold the brakes for you until you roll forward. VW needs to bring in manual models... they are nothing like the crappy Japanese manual gearboxes you learn to drive on. Easy to use, fun, ...

do they practice this back in German? because i know Europeans might be rich, but they are really cost conscious. and their education background is higher & customer power is way bigger there and they have strict court that will issue big fines for these improper business conducts.

malaysians, gullible carrot cake.

When the fuel gauge got stuck in my Citroen they wanted to change many things, though they knew only one cheap part was causing the issue. Ended up not getting it fixed (Citroen only sells the needed part as part of a big kit...).

I wouldn't be surprised if they'd change the whole harness in Germany, but I doubt it would cost so much.

That's the problem when service and car sales both are profit center. Both need to make money. Consumer die.


totally agree with takadanicklagi on this, it never bodes well for the brand when they split the service centres from the sales unit.

IMHO basically at this point VW is just selling off their old models at mad discounts then when something happens they quote you some stupid price to recover back some of the profits that were lost. So it's really up to your luck if you got a car in good condition which is technically unethical but not necessarily illegal.

are the models in Spain coming from same factory as Malaysia? do they use the same rubber seals that's prone to leaks like Malaysia versions? Also is Spain a tropical country with 24/7 summer? Is it as humid as Malaysia???

Pugs in Malaysia are problematic, like it or not, you have to face it. Pre-Price Turbo ones are good.

So bodoh:
1) The car parts so easily exposed and bit by rats?
2) If one wire putus, why need to replace the whole she-bang??

Whoever that guy is, should make formal complaint to small court tribunal...but i believe small court tribunal up to 25k only....this one needs the higher court? Not sure.

has nothing to do with competency of mechanics, that is the way Service Centers do things, not limited to VW, even japanese brands ask you to swap out everything to fix a small leak. Service centers only do simple oil change service, they won't bother helping you fix shit when they can spent the time servicing more cars thus the ridiculous quotations. This does not help their image though, but they don't fking care, people still buy their shit anyway, we need cars in malaysia, when the MRT/LRT goes into full swing and new kids come into work force you'll see a dramatic shift towards public transport, then the car brands will start giving a fuck about their service.
