Before warranty ends

For about the past 6 months, I noticed a clicking sound when the car steering wheel was turned. So before the warranty ends this March, I decided to get it fix asap.

Waited 2 weeks for the parts, I had to write an email to complain about the poor response as VW didn't call me back even after I called in twice ...

Car was down for 2 days. A went with us to drop the car off at VW Macpherson before heading to school. It's a huge inconvenience as we waited 15 min to get a taxi to A's school.

Fixed?

Seems the sound at the back of the car is finally fixed this 3rd time .... the rattling sound at the back seems to come from the door catch at the back. Seemed to have gotten loose over time. It also only occurred when the car has been on the road for about 15 min, probably need time to warm up, which cause the chassis to expand ... VW put some grease over the catch.

Monitor mode right now .... hope it doesn't come back.

For about 2 months, there had been a rattling sound at the back of the car. We couldn't determine what it was. There wasn't any loose object lying around. We searched high and low but still couldn't determine where it was coming from.

So I decided to send the car to VW service centre for inspection. During the test drive, which took half an hour, there was no sound at all! However, the moment I drove the car out of the service centre, the sounds came back. Probably needed some time to warm up .... Back to the centre I go.

So for these two days, I thought it worthwhile to rent a car, which was a good choice because it rained the next day.

Googled car rental, came across Asia Express. Pickup quite near my home. Took an Toyota Altis for $75 a day. Condition of the car was very bad, seat can't adjust upwards, internal lights not working ... engine gave out strange noise intermittently ... I'm so spoilt with my VW! A likes the car very much though, it's the car of his Aunt :)
