i got a friend

as much as i love this friend

he stupid and listen to this used car salesman saying  that the VW golf has very solid engine and smooth transmission

bought before CNY last year, 2014 make.

fast forward since christmas of last year, his transmission rosak

cannot change gear, if manage to change to D gear, speed cannot go above 40 something km/h

cold start car, have to keep revving until engine warm up (about 5 mins) then only the gear can change, and keep jerking

i thought he was joking, but he came over to my place the other day, even warm start the engine also still got trouble reversing from my car porch doh.gif

FYI quoted cost to "service" the gearbox by outside VW specialist workshop is RM6k, no guarantee
also, this isn't my first encounter with this issue, i have far more stories to tell, but this is my most recent encounter.

save your money.

A friend of mine bought 5 years old 1.4 Scirocco.. So far he only had major issue with the clutch.. After he changed it, the car no major problem for 4 years during his ownership.
