Error: bend lighting (AFS) Updated!

So, the real problem is the blown bend or cornering bulbs. Simple and fast fix!

The Seven Ringgit Plastic Updated!

Today I collected the seven ringgit plastic, original from FA Wagen Shah Alam.







Can you see that the wheel arc cover to access front fog lamp has disappeared! Maybe it was detached due to high pressure water jet while getting car wash.

Most importantly, when I asked for the replacement part from FA Wagen Shah Alam, they said they have to order from Germany, it will take two weeks, and it costs 7 Ringgit! Quick and cheap fix!

Check Oil Level! Error Message




This is my first encounter of the Check oil level! message, popped out about a year ago, few weeks owning it. I was initially puzzled with full hope that nothing serious shall happened.

I did called one of the local service centre, stating that I do have the error message, what should I do? Too bad, the answer is "please make an appointment and come next week, we are all fully booked at the moment". Then, Mr. Google helped me. Understood that it was because of low level of engine oil. 

This is how much engine oil, which for me looks okay but still trigger the error message. So as recommended by other users, I bought a 1 litre engine oil, topup only about 1/4 liter, solved!

The question is, how much do I have to top-up, or how frequent? For my first 15,000km I have to top-up 1 litre. And for the next 15,000km (until 30,000km) service interval, I have to top-up about 1/2 litre. Yes, its getting lesser. I do believe that the engine oil they put in from factory may just be "just enough" and so after the first engine oil we do get the "correct" engine oil level.







Followings are some of the pictures on the second occurrence;






Done!

My First Post

Hi everybody. So I started to write again on my cars, this time shall be on my only cars for the time being, the 2013 Volkswagen Golf MK7 TSI 1.4 model. I used to write-up a lot about my personal journey with my previous cars on these blogspots;

1) VOLVO 240 LIVE - this is my most beloved car, miss this car too much sometimes.
2) VOLVO 940 LIVE - ah ha, the restoration project.
3) My New Vios - the brand new Toyota Vios, a very reliable car for five years.



And so, I will start to write on this Volkswagen Golf MK7 TSI 1.4! Wait for the next posts to come :)
