Owning a VW locally is it economical and practical enough?

The TDI 2.0 Adblue accepts Diesel B2, so there is no need to spend on expensive diesel. Right now I'm using Shell Fuel Save Diesel B2 on my Golf GTS. I find the engine more responsive than Unioil's EURO 5.

So Far are you satisfied with your Golf GTS? What is your feedback from owning this car?

Thanks Sir Arnold

I can say a lot of positives and negatives but I'll summarize it as...

There is no car in the Philippines selling at 1.4 million that has the features of the Golf GTS.

We've had a Jetta 1.6 TDi MT for over a year now. Great bang for buck vehicle. FC is amazing. Got it mainly to serve as my daughter's home to University commute. Features included are what one will only get from top variants of Jap Cars. After sales service is good and so is dealer service when we brought it in for PMS.

how much was the pms? is the interval every 12mo?

**paj4x4** · January 7th, 2018 03:29 PM

Recommended PMS interval is 15k kms. I opted to have it done even if the car only logged 8k kms in a year. Cost was P10,053 for oil and oil filter change, and AC micron filter replacement. Fuel and air filter was not replaced. Labor was for P1,760.

so some filters weren't replaced, did that void the warranty? other brands void warranties because of omitting filter changes...

**paj4x4** · January 7th, 2018 03:46 PM

Nope warranty stays as these filters are not yet supposed to be replaced based on VW's service guidelines. Called them when the driver got back and saw the invoice that the air filter and fuel filter were not replaced.
