[extract] I read from a recent issue of Carbuyer magazine that Volkswagen Centre Singapore (VCS) has appointed a new General Manager of Aftersales, Mr Chris Kelly. He is tasked with the responsibility of overseeing customers' needs from the time their vehicles are out of the showroom. Volkswagen is one of the fastest rising European brand in Singapore thanks to the narrowing price gap between Japanese cars and the European makes, as well as the company

Since Korean and Continental cars are getting popular in our country, just wanted to check on the "reliability" issue. Since only 3 polls can be added, I could not separate MIJ and MIT. I wanted to just see the problems in the first year as any problems in the subsequent years may be due to the driving habits as well. When you count your problems, please leave those oil change, filter change issues. For example, changing ECU under warranty is a problem. You are free to take poll as long as you have driven a new car in those categories. If you have driven more than one car in a particular category, please poll with the latest one! Touch wood, my all three MIJ cars went well in the first year! Thanks for taking the poll! -

When my wife was still my GF, I thought I made the perfect catch. She came from a well to do family, was highly educated but was down to earth and willing to stick with me through thick and thin. I thought that together we had a bright future ahead. After marriage, things were great for a few years, then she started to change. First of all, she became very materialistic. Her money is her money and my money is also her money. Every month, I have to deposit part of my salary into a joint account "to save for the future" but till this day, the account balance is kept by her and never shown to me. Is the money still there or has she blown it on LVs? I don't know .... Then there is also the problem of responsibility. Everything that goes wrong is my fault and everything that goes right is credited to her. I have to answer for everything I do but she does as she pleases. She also started to egg me to improve myself and get a better job because apparently I am not as successful or high earning as her. I bite my tongue and try not to point out that "success" working as director of the family business is not counted. Most recently, she has begun to reject my group of friends, prefering to hang out with an atas crowd of foreign expats. All these really got to me and I hinted that I might divorce her. This must have come as a shock to her because she changed overnight. Suddenly, she is is very caring, patient and accomodating ... almost like the girl I knew so many years ago. Now I am very confused. Should I give her another chance? My good friend hinted that it is just an act and she will revert to normal once I give way.

Having read so many good things from DriftKing about his A168, would like to know from fellow forumers or Chinese car owners on whether they encounter any good or bad experiences with their cars? For the price you are paying is it worth the trouble, if any, etc. I am just trying to understand and prepare, if necessary, myself should the Chinese car dominance prophecy do come true. So far I have read some bad news from other forums like poor fc, boot cannot open, car "dies" going up slope, etc... Just for discussion sake.

Problem #1 Drivers ignoring yellow-box:- Location of yellow box: juntion between old lorong chuan (from Australian International School to Bradell Rd, this yellow box connects lor chuan, slip road from CTE from AMK direction towards Bradell Rd, and a small slip road which goes under the CTE/Bradell flyover towards old lor chuan... It's a everyday deadlock when drivers from old lor chuan going towards Bradell Rd (in the direction of Thomson Rd completely ignore the yellow box and block traffic from the CTE slip road (from AMK direction).......... when the light is green for the CTE slip traffic, the yellow box is choked with cars from old lor chuan.... the cars from CTE slip road have to take 2-3 green light changes just to cross the yellow box.... Mr LTA/TP, where are you? are you going to do something at least? If readers have any other such "Problem" spots / bottlenecks and LTA/TP have not done anything to solve the problem, please feel free to say it here..... we are not LTA/TP so we cant solve the problems, but Mr LTA/TP are paid to do a decent job, which is not happening.....

Hi all Subaru owners, especially those with TB charged ones. I am driving a Subaru Legacy Wagon 2.0GT, bought 2nd hand for 8mths now. Everything was in very good condition till recently: 1)when turbo boost kicks in, the engine sputters, sounds like misfiring 2)erratic idling with engine vibrating violently especially with aircon turned off Went to check, had four ignition coils changed which solved the misfire, denso iridium spark plug checked and still looking beautiful; had the throttle body and air filter cleaned and found a loose air pipe disconnected, rectified the problem with a simple add-on clip to secure piping; but after one day of perfect driving with no hiccups, during 2nd day startup in the morning, low idling problem comes back with CEL on and Cruise light blinking. My car runs when and everything but idling got issues. After driving for a while CEL light will be gone. Previously system showed TOO LEAN. If I put to DRIVE and don't step accelerator, the car runs like out of breathe; on straight road moves forward a bit then slows, then move forward then slows,can hear from the erratic combustion in the engine. Can any subaru TB owners give some advise on potential flaws? Will send back to trusted mechanic to check again, hopefully this time is just one of the smaller pipes hidden behind throttle body came loose. Cheers bros, look forward to as many replies as possible. -
Hi Bros, I have just bought a new HTC Trophy from M1. After setting it up, I realised the display language is in English. I am a Mandarin language user so tried to set the phone to display Chinese but realised it does not have it. However, after scrolling through it, it has display for other languages but none for Chinese. May I know how to get Mandarin display ? Please help and thanks. I am not use to using English setting for the phone.

Hi Guys, I got a quick question: here's some background info: I got a shipment due to Russia. So from my factory in China, i will be shipping the goods to another warehouse in north china where the forwarder there will be doing the paper work for the entry into Russia. Now, I have another batch of goods down here in Singapore and my client told me to send it via regular air mail as Russian Customs hate Fedex and will not let them pass through. I checked with Singpost and price of airmail is too crazy. I have a corporate acct with Fedex and its cheaper. Now the thing is, I can send the singapore goods directly to the warehouse in China where the forwarder will handle the paper work? Anyway, anyone with experience on this? as in, will china customs give me problems? the items i'm sending are small accessories that themselves were made in china Thanks in advance guys Cheers!

Toyota, Honda recalling vehicles for possible brake fluid leaks The Detroit News / 9hrs 20mins ago Advertisement Honda said it would recall certain 2005-2007 model year Acura RL sedans and Honda Odyssey minivans from the 2005 to early 2007 model year due to brake fluid leaks. Japanese automaker Honda Motor Co. announced the recall of nearly 528,000 vehicles worldwide Friday due to a defect with the cylinder that holds brake fluid. Why never recall Airwave? My 2007 Airwave front brake makes lotsa squeaking sound and leak out lotsa fine powder even though i replaced with new brake pads. Any Airwave bros here encounter same problems.

Hi all, a couple of months back I installed a firmware update 3.4.1 and after that i lost access to all my games and PS3 controller. Is there a patch available to fix this so i do not have to format my PS3 HDD? Thanks

Heard from somewhere that if you have a problem that money can resolve, then it's a happy problem. Agree? Going by the above, I should have mostly happy problems right? Then again, looking at many rich pple...they do have problems that money cannot resolve...many of them are not exactly that happy... So does it mean that I am generally happier than rich pple? Honestly speaking, 99% of problems can be solved by money. Thats why 99% of us are chasing after money...hoping to solve the 99% of problems we have. For the 1% rich that have solved 99% of their problems...they remained unhappy cos of the 1% problem which money can't solved. Maybe happiness is not having 99% of problems solved. Maybe happiness is working hard and working towards solving the problems we can solve with money... For the 99% population, everyday is a day they can better their life by solving 1% at a time on the 99% of problems they have that money can solve. For the 1% rich, everyday is a reminder of the ultimate 1% problem they can't solve despite the money they have. OK! Rant OVER!

But i had this problem yesterday (again..had this a few times liao) after driving for 10mins, i decided to off my AC during a jam,then my idle falls to 200-400 suddenly, and engine stall and cut off eveything! scary! but when i turn my AC on the idle went up to 800 and car is back to normally but brakes and ride felt weird. What seems to be the problem? 2) Whenever after i parked my car, i will let it cool down and idle for 2mins without my AC, then similar problem occurs ocassionally - the engine will then idle low similar as above 200-400, and it will cut off by itself... Anyone can help?

Hi Guys, Summary as follow: 1st visit, mech tells me that one of the a/c tube has a tear, thus leaking a/c gas, with that, he proceeded to change a new tubing. After that, a/c works fine for 3 days. 2nd visit, mech tells me that a/c cold ring damaged (something like tht, I can't quite rem what was the item that he said), what that, he proceeded to replace. (This at no further charges because my a/c still not repaired mah). After that, a/c works fine for another 3 days. Pretty frustrated, I called the mech and told him that my a/c is not working again...I've fixed an appointment this saturday for repairs again...this is my 3rd visit in over 4 weeks.....This mech has been a long term service provider turned friend kinda relationship, sometimes I wonder if he does repairs for my car seriously or not... Anyways, I'm thinking, what else could be the problem...could a faulty compressor be a possible cause to such frequent faults? Generally, the whole car is functioning in good condition with a new re-con alternator, new battery, replaced carbuerator..... Regards, Frustrated Butcher with not cold EP70

Hi all, I have recently noticed that my starter seem to take longer to start up my engine after 3 years of use and while this is no surprise in itself, what scares me is at times, the starter just crank and stop dead even when the key still remains in turned position. Anything wrong here and would appreciate advice on what needs to be changed. Many thanks! GC

I have problems getting insurance for my Euro R. As informed by my broker friend, the only one willing to insure at this moment is my current insurance. He tried a few others and they are not willing to insure. I am fine with carrying on with my current insurer but i do not understand why companies are unwilling to insure me. Name is under my mom as we both use the car. Housewife. Accident and claim free for 7yrs for both of us. Unless you consider a windscreen claim in 03/04 as a accident. I do not understand why will insurer refuse to insure just because it is a Euro R. Does it mean if i drive a fit,vios etc but has claim in the past year it is still safer than a Euro R with no claims for past 7yrs? No wonder they complain lose money. Instead of insuring safe drivers they are more willing to insure perceived safe cars instead.
