Hmmm that payment...is that for the sort of gimmick vw put last time...after 3 years...the next 2 years under insurance and parts warrant adjustor to endorse ?

VW Passat has become china worst scored car in crash test. So lets get down to VW jokes
Keep the tow truck guy no, you will call this guy more often than your mother
Keep the mechanic or dealer no closer, you will keep on asking when your car will be out. They are like your wife or gf.
To be safe buy 4 VW cars and send them to SC every week for inspection. Visit Workshop

Something like that. I just bought a 3 that is 1 year old (CBU, director's car, not demo car). So the SA told me if I am worried about the warranty (I am not, I am going in with full intention to be a servant to my debts and car:lol:) I can do that extension. but only after the original 5-year manufacturer warranty is finished. They will do a 72-point inspection of the car, if the car qualifies, we can buy the warranty on an annual basis.

Shit goes wrong, they would repair it for us. basically it is just like the original manufacturer warranty as I understand it.

Btw, BMW's 5-year warranty is full, not some bullshit 3+2 or 2+3 like some of their competitors - very disingenuous of these competitors (I am not sure which ones though)

You've got to see what is covered in the warranty, what items are considered as wear and tear.


Anyway if you are okay with burning money might as well lease it.

What for burn money through depreciation and expensive maintenance then drive old car ?
Every 2-3years change new car no need worry about maintenance and problems.

Is the genius fired by VW?

What is gear fluid boiling temperature?

True true. I do not plan to do so anyway - the extended warranty.

If you can't afford new, reliable cars, then you cannot afford old, unreliable cars. Your solution is simply to downgrade to a new car that is reliable, usually newer cars are more reliable. That car may be of lower "strature", but if you keep an old BMW/Merc that breaks down often, then you are the true definition of a brand snob.

I do sales, and I cannot afford being stuck on the side of the road, or to be without a car for extended periods of time. Granted, people will chide me for buying a 3 since I prioritize reliability, but it the pre-registered car still has 4 years and 3 months warranty plus free services that I won't skip over the same period. After that? Likely I will sell it off and buy a new one

with wet dsg, less horsepower, i expect it will not easily breakdown...

Why use DSG compared to normal auto GB btw?

Do the added weight and complexity provide add performance benefits?

they put this board together with sensors in an environment of 80-100°C (heat from gearbox fluid)

Lol.

Conti car.

Given a chance i still would

shifts faster, can jump more gears.
but the downside is the controller which is mechatronic unit becomes a wear and tear part. (rebuild if lucky, if not replace whole unit)

Hurm why is VW positioning themselves as a performance brand? They should opt for reliability like Toyota.

I look at their cars like Passat, I think of uncles on Camry

I look at their smaller cars, i think of youngsters on Vios

They should use normal, reliable Autos for their normal cars, even the Passat

Save the DSG on CC and Golf/Polo. This is how Bimmer does it, only the M cars have DSG. I believe F80 M3 uses DSG while F30 used 8AT

fuck they removed the analog clock, better look for pre-reg 19 2.0

Time to revive this thread lol
My father in law’s dsg already kiok. Stuck at second gear. 2 year old car

wet or dry clutch? should be still under warranty 5 years, for passat always get the dsg 6 wet

the price is so tempting in this range for german car

Passat is phasing out in VW malaysia
U cant see it on website
Only a few units left from showroom.

Only arteon golf tiguain in their focus

yea they discontinue passat range after 2022, 2022 R line is their last for malaysia

in the next few years they might focus on those electric range VW ID4 etc.
