Boot Cover

Bought a boot cover from ebay, protects my boot carpet and easier to clean 😊

Defects?

What should I do? I have few issues with the car, I raised it to the SC and let them check. They have the car for a week now and what's next?

The issues are;
1) Gear change not smooth, juddering especially at hills. (The technician has helped to perform basic setting for this). This is done.
2) The center console door rail has break off. (Need to change, but parts are still on the way and has not arrived this SC yet).
3) The fuel door lid stucked, cannot be opened. This is a major problem that caused me to leave the car here at the SC. (I was informed that warranty claim approval was only granted today, and the technicians are fixing the new actuator now).
4) Suspension noise. (Informed by the SA that it is due to defective absorber mountings, no replacement parts at the moment).

It seems like the SC staffs are doing their best, but parts are not here, warranty claim takes time, etc. I am writing to Volkswagen Group, let's hear from them.

Put your coins here?

How many of you put your coins here? I would like to share a lesson on putting your coins here. Once, when I was trying to exchange the smoke lighter for a handphone charger unit, one of the tiny coins dropped into the socket.

It shorted the socket! The fuse burnt for that. Replaced the fuse and it works normally again. Now, should you put your coins here again?

The Key Battery

This error message will appear on the instrument cluster's screen immediately on start. It will appear for about 5 seconds only. However the error message can be seen at the Vehicle Status mode in your center console / head unit's screen.

Changed the battery at FA Wagen Glenmarie, Shah Alam for RM17.xx

The Windscreen Story

Last week, unfortunately, the front windscreen cracked. It was due to a chip stone that hit the windscreen while I was cruising on a highway.

Replaced it at FA Wagen Glenmarie, good job done! It just take one and a half day for the whole windscreen replacement job to be done.

Squealing Brake & Tow Truck

Bismillahirrahmnirrahim. First of all, I would like to congratulate Volkswagen Group Malaysia, especially the road assist team for a very good service rendered to me yesterday. Rest assured, the 5-year mobility guarantee is a guarantee, purely no extra charge whatsoever.

So what happened was; last Wednesday night when I was driving the car around the neighbourhood, the front left brake squeals loudly. It sounds as if something is hardly applying force to the disc. My worst case assumption was the possibility of jammed calliper. The simplest cause maybe as simple as an unlucky chip stone stucked in any of the brake assembly. I dare not to continue driving, thus drive it back home slowly.

It was around 11.30pm when I dialled the VW Road Assist emergency number (1800-88-2389, keep this number in your mobile!). They offered me to tow the car straight away that night to the nearest service center which is FA Wagen in Glenmarie. I prefer not to have the car sleep there, so I requested them to come the next morning.

The next day, a tow truck arrived about 8.30am, towed the car, arrived 9.30am at FA Wagen and by 10.30am all solved. It was because of chip stone stuck somewhere in the brake assembly. Lucky that I didn't continue to drive that both pads and disc are not damaged. All-in-all, good service at no costs at all, it's all FREE! Thanks again to the friendly tow truck driver, En Kamal and FA Wagen team!

Error: bend lighting (AFS) Updated!

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

Good morning. This error pops-out this morning, the bend lights are not functioning when I make turns or stops at junctions.

Going to check this out!
