‘Official’ 30k km service

I had already sent Pocong for its 30k km service at Auto Reign prior C99 track day but because I took leave today & tomorrow and it’s FOC, it make perfect sense to send her again for fresh oil change and get the CBV changed as well at Goh Brothers SC in Kampung Gajah Butterworth.

30k km service consists of (I took the liberty of identifying the prices as well):-

Castrol TXT fully synthetic VW505 5w40 (4.8 ltr) RM340.00
VAG 1.8T oil filter (06A 115 561B) RM35.00
Pollen filter RM61.00 (optional)
Washer RM10.00
Labour RM90.00

Upon changing the CBV, the SA did diagnostic test via VAGCOM and true enough it detected one error code mentioned something like “loss of pressure due to throttle valve”. It’s CBV alright but I’m still hunching that the hose too need to be replaced with stronger material.

After getting these done, just like Yip & Jed, I felt the boost comes in stronger particularly at low revs and more linear as it reach towards midrange. And on another node, Caltex Techron suits Pocong better in giving better response & fuel efficiency than Shell Super but on the downside Caltex stations aren’t always nearby.


In between the monstrous R32 and Golf GTis is one puny Pocong
