I looked into this. The VW motors are well known for getting gunk in the inlet manifold/throttle body restricting the airflow from the oil vapour coming back through the EGR. A catch can is an...
$2000 for a retrofit of a $2000 option sounds like a good deal to me.
Thanks Dan_3MPS. As its additional cost, I am surprised VWA delete some of the Adventure features. I really want the extra engine power, but dont want the harder 20" ride and adaptive shocks combo....
Could you tell me what's in a Sportline, there is no detail - it appears to be the same as an Adventure, but adds clever shocks, the 162 motor and the alternative 20" wheels (of course not the bumper...
As per the picture above - the white stick behind the headlamp rubber cover. Twist and click to remove. Bags of fun reinserting it. No need to remove the headlamp
How is the Series 2 Tiguan 162kW engine different from the Series 2 Tiguan 132kW engine?
In the first series Tiguan, I thought the 132kW engine was a detuned version of the 155kW engine which was...
Has anyone seen the dealer prices to upgrade the wheels? 19" or 20" on a comfortline would be nice. In the old model Tiguan, the largest wheels needed plastic flares to fit them. I'm wondering if...
The rear bumper needs to be removed to replace them (poor design!)
The manual states the reversing lights are long lasting ones. I've always been curious about magical long life bulb (in which case...
Went to see the Black Comfortline with Lux Pack on display at Waverley Volkswagen. Nice.
Customer Test drives are embargoed by VWA until the 5th or 7th and first deliveries available 22Sep...
Sorry about the job Flappa...can a new Tig be a redundancy payment compensation?
Can't see any reference to a DAB+ radio - surely it has it?
And the Highline has 'premium' taillights - but no...
The typical path for OEMs would be to register the cars and run them on their own fleet (or sell cheaply to rental fleet if there is a lot of them) and then sell them on the used market. Super cheap...
The Age nominated all three engines as 2.0l
So are they all the same motor in different states of tune?
Can I do a Stage 1 upgrade to 197kW with any of them?
I can get a BMW X1 for that money
The power gains on the diesel have never been enough to spend $1-$2k in my opinion.
This BSR one gives 47Hp, or about the difference between the standard Tiguan 103kW and the currently offered 130kW...
This aux pump was changed under a service campaign on my Tiguan. Check to see if its still eligible
Nice concealed look. Did you fit one or two - on each side of the grille?
You fitted the 6 LED Hyperspot and not the 9 LED SR2?
SR2 Hyperspot Specifications:
Watts: 30.4
Amp Draw: 2.2
LED's:...
Yes, and they last 120,000km :)
I am waiting patiently for the next pay-for-3-get-4 deal to buy them
My diesel now has 120,000 km with original tyres and brakes. I'm impressed. with 70,000 on yours in 2 years, then you'll be able to check out the durability yourself soon enough. Happy travels.
I have had quoted:
120,000 service $600 inc Haldex
Timing belt and water pump $1050 (mine is diesel)
Front Pads and rotors $650
Total $2590
The wisdom is the water pump does not require...
That looks like the swing away towbar they fit in Germany. I've never seen that towbar type used in Australia. I'd double check the ADRs with the distributor I think
Let us know how you got on
Not exactly direct help, but I was reading the user comments from Powerbulbs (UK) Philips DRLs (copied below), and it appears that if Philips has thought of these issues, so I would infer that Hella...
Avoid the revised Pirellis. The originals are OK, but the revised model has vibration issues at about 80km/h. A colleagues replaced his original good performing Pirellis with these updates and has...
If my 2009 is any indication - reverse lamps are on the bumper, not in the tail light cluster, and there is provision for the fog lamp on RHS and LHS, fog lamp fitted to RHS on mine of course. So...
