I heard a lot of people say lemon law no power. Why no power?

35k, ur coe till when?True fact. i did not really try the car for long enough to notice that. it will be my fault for this.
I believe there are some people out there dont really like vw due to problem car.
he might be meaning why dont buy others rather then a problem car.
Agree and i will do that. i dont wish to let others going though what i going though.
Selling was 36.8k , after first quotation, dealer offer 35k so i thought since dealer nego 1.8k for me. and dealer seriously look sincere. it should be all good.

Anyway conti cars 'leychey' la but I really like the driving experience. I recently bought a used one around same time expire as urs also, also belongs to VW family of brands.
There are ways to mitigate.. join those enthusiast groups and ask them to recommend ws.. for conti parts hard to find stockist here.. what I do is I go to those reliable stockist online and order myself.. bring to mechanic and they can fix it up for u
Can also join those overseas forums and they usually DIY a lot.. so can learn a lot about how to DIY , diagnose and how to better maintain the car
My car also had some issues and come in and out of car workshop.. thank god I bought through a quite renowned mechanic who specialize in this particular brand..
my car even before I drive when the mechanic was testing already some red alarms sound off liao
Seller never declare and his selling ad very misleading. Good that I screenshot his ad down.
But still, I really like conti car handling.. I used to drive my mum's altis and conti car so much more fun..
Tiagong chassis more solid and more safe for driver also.
Of course, fuel consumption really like shat
Is this your own first car?

You should drive more cars, to generalize that all conti cars have better handling and chassis is not true. Perhaps they are all better than the Altis only.![]()

Ya la I mean generally speaking lor.. of course SAAB cannot qie GtR
I do a lot of road trips.. I've driven few thousand kms from Helsinki, through Sweden into Tromso at norway in the snow inside a Volvo..
The experience of that vis a vis a generic Toyota sedan during my long Aussie drive is completely different.
I recently drove up PCH from LA up to San Francisco via a Jap car.. then I flew back to LA and drove down to Puerto Nuevo and other small towns in Baja California via a conti...
The difference is remarkable..
I also drive another Toyota along Bulgarian highways (from Sofya to the black Sea coast and back).. those highways u have to speed at 140km/hr if not u kena honked at.. my Jap sedan rattle at high speed.
So yes, even tho this is my first car I bot.. I've driven a lot of miles in different countries.. my personal impression is conti still better driving experience than jap
just want to make sure everyone is aware this man have travelled abroad a lot.
I want to add something.
This guy is very active at EDMW.
First class honour grad.

.a ASK?.....
Yes thats good to knowUpdate for the car.
Currently it is out of ws and I would say the ws has already done their parts in repairing even though they might not be the expert in it.
As for dealer. It is still an kiv case regarding the sharing of the cost of repair.
Lastly I am glad I went to an old friend who play a lot of VW car. With his help. It happen that the turbo is fine, only a few hose need to be replace due to wear and tear. Now the car is perfectly fine And it need to monitor for 2 days
Even though I brought a lemon. I paid for stuff which I think it not right. But at the very least. You guys share a lot of info and advice to me. I sincerely thanks to those who read and advice to me.
Will update you guys again for latest news.

How am I an ASK?
My mum drives an altis and lives in hdb.
I pay for my home, Reno, car with my own money
I repay my uni debt with my own money.
The only luxury I got off my mum is that on some weekends, only if she is not using her altis.. I can borrow. But I have to pump full tank before returning.
Btw let's stick to topic pls

I'm curious. Why u say WS is not an expert for VW?Update for the car.
