Volkswagen Touran Sports

Decides to get another car... You guys may wonder why I chose a problematic VW again...



Well, yes... I'm worried still. Gearbox issue like clutch and MU, engine issues like piston cracked... And yes, it's the "famous" 7sp DSG paired with a 170bhp 1.4L twincharged engine. Now why another VW leh?



Well, the answer is simple. Frankly, most cars does gives problem. Some may be minor while some are, oh well, MAJOR! Since I'm pretty familiar with the VW twincharged engine, might as well leverage on this experience and extend to this Touran.



Anyway, cut story short, I'm not sure if VCS brings in the R-Line version of the Touran (especially after VW experienced some issues). Nevertheless, the Touran came with some R badges...



Ok, enough of words... Let the picture tells the remaining thousands words...

My Jetta Sports - Volkswagen Jetta MKV (6 years later)

Wanted to write again when the car was on its 5th year, but now it had stretched to its 6th already...


Maybe a good time to do a "stock take" to see what goodies is still left in the car...






Recap my previous 2 write up on the Jetta...
