Buy VW Vento with no turbo and aisin gearbox, thinking it’s gonna be problem free
Turned out got problem every 6 months need to prepare 3k repair fee
Want trade in for Axia last year, but value too low
This year jual only get 5k

250k km
Wad u want o

240k km VW is quite impressive.

Follow what salesman is using...Merc A class

wan bankrupt ady can sell faster sell

VW can last 240k is already a miracle

Buy VW cars in Malaysia = asking yourself to be buttfucked.

even a myvi has better second hand value lulz

Betul
Apa Lu mau lagi

240k km already recoup investment lo.

Can kill chicken give back to god.

Ini troll lah 240km

I really believe VW Polo/Vento is the only "reasonably good" VW around. No turbo and Aisin gearbox is bulletproof.
240k km is already a miracle for conti cars. I hv a similar one (2nd hand) with 170k km with minor issue and so far average spend 1k/yr on changing wear/tear parts. I change ny own engine oils every 10k km. Can also change spark plugs every few yrs on my own. If you hv wheel speed sensor issue, buy online and change yourself. Easy and cheap. I even DIY change the gear selector bush.

Dia mau clock 999km 🤭 and then post socmed "X brand car very impressive"

Ayam sudah drive 16 years, 4 vw ok je

219k km got, new model got

Some things wear and tear normal la higher mileage need change

But can improved is those design flaw, say melting plastic parts or those leaks, unless the engineer themselves design for planned obsolescence

Buy vw/ccp cars then complain say many problems or not as reliable as jap. Topkek bodo, better to buy fan and complain why not as cold as air cond la.

What do you mean by "even"? Myvi is RV king, no?

Bersangka baik, after 240k still got Rm5k, consider syukur jor.

Buy conti, wallet must be tebal ....... else inviting trouble laa .......

One day 130km including weekends. Work car izzit?

vw cars are not for human use one

this one conti wannabe made in Maharashtra, India

not saying that made in india is bad, but the product itself got full of planned obsolence shits

puncak alam-ampang jaya to and fro almost 110km already

Bodo owner expect car can run eternal without issue

Myvi is also known king of engine leaking. Overholes king, etc. lol.

Ccp cars are built based on german engineering. The took vw and other german cars as their inspiration back in the early 2000s.

No surprise that their reliability are somewhat the same.

Japanese cars on the other hand focus too much on reliability that they lose out on technology.

If u stay KV work klia already that
Or stay KL work Klang etc

240k apa lanijiao part also will need to change

To be frank , I don't think that Japanese are that great because the reliability comes from making things as simple as possible, not because they make it reliable.
It's one thing to create something technologically complex and make it reliable. It's another thing to avoid anything complex so that it is reliable.

Avoiding anything complex so that it is reliable at the expense of performance there's nothing great to it.

On the other hand some cars increase technological complexity without any performance gain. eg:- push button to open door, motorized air cond vent

VW? 1st time ke?

after 100K good luck with all the nasty issue become meh si deh.

Ofcoursela, 3rd,4th hand also way better

240k km still mau high rv ah..gila babi

True to your statement, thats why I really loathed the interior designing decision of these modern cars.

Ie. Modern conti merc, bmw and audi, as well as tesla.


Do we need touch screens? Do we need a tablet to open my boot/bonnet? Do we really need a 2-3 page touch to increase/decrease aircond volume?

If you avoid performance model, this Merc model is known to suffer this problem - thermostat. Any others are just wear & tear

Made in India apalagi ktards mau

I tot this is same person as kevin23

Mazda's command system the best. Same as BMW iDrive with the knob.... before they nerfed it in latest version

this youtuber very talented
i diagnose my car problem by watching his videos

LOL

Which conti model you own?

Many years ago I rented a Polo 1.6 (same as this Vento, but hatchback version) for a day from SoCar.

Just want to try it out.

Nice car to drive.

Car less than 2 years old then, with mileage ~ 50K km

BUT

Interior looked so worn out for something that new.

Engine oso vibrate and make some funny noises.

My >15 years old Hyundai Getz 1.6 with about 400K km (back then) sounds way better and smoother than the Polo.

Performance about the same in both cars (with the Polo in Sports mode; otherwise in Normal/Economy mode Polo very sluggish compared to the Getz).

And here I'm not even comparing it with nice reliable Japs, but an old kimchi crab.


Deswai VW is not for human to drive wan

He goes by the name sexysarah now

own experience, above 180k km u need standby duit liao. slowly slowly every year need repair smthg . myself also kena, engine valve, coolant , front bush, etc etc

but, expected bukan?

Some people never consider the wear and tear on the car, not to mention how the car served him for so many years and so many miles. They think a car dont need maintainence.

Europe cars are pioneers in designing planned obsolescence. Plastic oil pan, plastic water pump, plastic intake manifold, reclaimed plastics for interior parts, "organic synthetic" leather, natural fiber infused cables, the lists goes on.

Ever seen a cracked Porsche Cayenne V8 plastic air intake manifold. That made the car died, power and get codes. The old Cayenne had aluminium manifold.

My 2012 Peugeot 3008 clocked over 290k km and still needed another 20k+ for repairs. Already spent 50k on repairs since after warranty.

In the end, let it go at 3k to cut further losses. The new owner overhauled and redo the entire car by himself DIY. Quite impressive given the low budget allocation.

250k km is considered the lifetime of a car already loh. More than that is a bonus already.

If can last 999km, then VW is zaplap first, because nobody change car ad

This VW bento how much brand new price last timw?

240k mileage under Malaysian weather and road condition damn impressive. Our road quality is like driving through warzone, many crater hole to fuck ur tayar.

depends if u follow service schedule or not
if u do, it won't everything come at once

das auto

I used a first gen Vios that clock in almost 200k last time.

During that time, a lot of things need to be changed and replaced. It takes a lot of money to repair it

It's a same thing for every car.

yes dont come at once, few months sekali lo

service schedule sure got follow one, but wear and tear still cannot avoid. like those water pump, oil separator etc

memang expected one la for old cars

seem normal, just that since it's a VW, parts are gonna be expensive unlike proton(local model)

Saw my old boss who had experienced owning all Conti brands, VW, Audi, Volvo, BMW and now Mercedes, he straight told if want buy conti, take Mercedes. Never ever take the VW-Audi group, cz too many issues. Volvo, SC problem, only know on basic maintenance, comes special problem, standby resting the car at SC for weeks, but the problem still persist. And outside lacks of Volvo expert. BMW, he had multiple headache related to engine, ECU, electronic and one time, claim new gb for his F10 few months before warranty expired.

Now with Mercedes, he keep repeat it, from previously sedan E-class to now GLE. He too not taking the hybrid, EV form if its Conti brand

tak faham. why mercedes also same repeat why he still recommend mercedes

basically any conti cars after 1995 got planned obsolescence somehow

I kena already before

left
original water pump with PLASTIC impeller

right
aftermarket water pump with stainless steel impeller

mercedes also got their own set of problem lah . after W124 ,quality down the drain already.

thing with toyolta, once fix, ok already

thing with conti, once fix, u gonna fix other things within 3-6 after that

buy volvo

get brand new free car if your car hits 1 mil mileage

240k km is like what 12 years old car?
Conti can last 10 years already good deal
Change new conti every 10 years la
RV? Want RV buy Myvi la
Kekwa

250k still complain
my car 100k already sold...

In Malaysia unless you’re rich or a have a spare no point talking about performance over reliability. You just need it to get you to work and do all your daily basics without worrying about anything more than scheduled maintenance.

I mean he becomes Mercedes Benz repeat buyers due to generally reliable car vs others conti. Keep buying new Merz model for upgrades , no more look at Bmw, Audi and others. Merz also had their few problems, but most SC are able to solve on any issues, except Hybrid model. Just that SC price are ridiculously high.

And based on few buddies who own W205 C250 and C300, outside workshop Merz specialist are plenty and can repair any problem at acceptable timeframe and price. This, Volvo lost big times for outside SC repair

Axia/Myvi damn close to new value dy on 2nd hand sites like Carsome even with ridiculous mileages like 100k++. Liddat better topup a bit and buy new.

Tu tak campur bulanan 3k maintenance fee

A marginally better than Peugeot model. Even used car turn away if wanna letgo, except if trade in.
