Dinobros 2nd Gear August 19, 2014 Share August 19, 2014 What is the VW Warranty Period for SG? Issit 3 years or 5 years. The website says 3 years but there was reports of 5 years.

All i can say is that the warranty period appears to follow in tandem with the business environment of the respective countries above as well as the cultural differences & behaviors of the consumers... I will think in terms of how warrantys are honoured and what it means for the consumer to enforce the lemon law and the former. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F355 Turbocharged August 19, 2014 Share August 19, 2014 I'll prefer a problem free gearbox without warranty to a problematic one with lifetime warranty. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinobros 2nd Gear August 19, 2014 Author Share August 19, 2014 To be frank, the build quality of the golf is really better then the others in the same class. If the reliability is better, then much more ppl will get a VW over the other brands. http://www.volkswagen.com.sg/en/service/warranty-package.html I think their marketing dept did a very good job lah.

I think if VW does not have these gearbox issues , Jetta may be a bestseller . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinobros 2nd Gear August 19, 2014 Author Share August 19, 2014 Yeah... embedded here http://youtu.be/Tlxjng8h3Tc Yup, I agree with you that that they are really impressive in terms of advertising and marketing. I saw one of their videos promoting the stoppage of using of phone while driving. Goes to show they are really good and aggressive in marketing. Yup, reason given is that only the Golf Mk6 DSG has problem. Wondering why our government is so much slower then the other government when it comes to the protection of consumer safety and rights? China Government Step in and investigate. Australia Government Step in and investigate. Singapore Government??? no hor... a few months (exact how many months i dont know) ago they dont give 5yrs for their 7dsg liao... all is 3 yrs... Bro... 6 speed wet DSG are a lot more expensive. GTI is like 70k more than the base Golf If u must, safer to go wet 6dsg.All i can say is that the warranty period appears to follow in tandem with the business environment of the respective countries above as well as the cultural differences & behaviors of the consumers...I will think in terms of how warrantys are honoured and what it means for the consumer to enforce the lemon law and the former.

Baal Supersonic August 20, 2014 Share August 20, 2014 Yup, reason given is that only the Golf Mk6 DSG has problem. Wondering why our government is so much slower then the other government when it comes to the protection of consumer safety and rights? I will just say that being 1 of the most business friendly business city in the world cuts both ways....often more so 1 way than the other.... China Government Step in and investigate. Australia Government Step in and investigate. Singapore Government??? .ST car of the year? Editor's Choice ? Bro... 6 speed wet DSG are a lot more expensive. GTI is like 70k more than the base Golf The way I see it, dct tech is still meant for higher end market. However, manufactureres are jumping in notwithstanding. I guess they have decided that grea numbers prevails....nice FC #, nice 0-100 #.......nice rwp #, telling mass market buyers they can reap the best of both worlds......conveniente of AT/CVT paired with power of MT.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
