That's awesome, should sticky this!

Took them 3x attempts to finally admit there was a fault. Yet the previous times they said nothing was wrong, however you could always smell coolant in the engine bay.

At the 29xxx km service, VW dealer confirmed thermostat housing cracked and failed LOL...

Have had the entire lot replaced, at the same time they found out my car is tuned too, refer to...

MY18 Sportline (Povline) also missing it.

Looks great!

Did you need to code it or just plug & pray?

Get the APR Stage 1 copy/paste tune, works well and you get what you pay for.

I ran 13.5, 13.3, then a fluke 12.9 at WSID a few weeks back.

Only thing it had besides the copy/paste tune is a...

It's by APR, I'm still using the factory IC. It really heat soaks, on the streets a few hard pulls and you can notice the timing being pulled back due to high IATs. Seems like there's no strategy for...

Facebook, in the post of the Tiguan at Sydney Dragway

Did you get any alerts? I wonder if mine is in the same state - hence the random violent Haldex kick (which you've seen in the video of the 12.9s pass at the drag strip)

No idea TBH Mitch, but all my tyres are nearing the tread indicator so I didn't mind too much.
Will be replacing them all with something else, either Bridgestone RE003 or Hankook RS-4 (if that make...

Yes they did, but charged me $50 where as last time they repaired a normal tyre or was $30.

They use a proper mushroom to plug up the hole, ie remove the tyre plug it up, then back on. Other...

You should always run up a car with a gear that's 1:1 - if you want less stress on the motor you would change the ramp rate.

So in the DQ500, you would select 4th gear

Depending on what gear is used for the run either 4/5/6 the ratio is changed to get a derived RPM output.

TCF total correction factor, this can be applied to compensate for atmospheric pressure...

Same, I had a roofing screw go into mine then took it to a tyre shop and they said these are a massive pain in the arse to repair.

I tried to pull out the roofing screw and it leaked air, so I...

Can't agree more here! and another reason you see so many P platers cars wrapped around trees - because first suspension mod they did was find the thickest rear ARB on Whiteline catalogue to reduce...

Big power life, time to fit a helical front LSD? :)

Wavetrac ATB LSD for Audi DQ500 - TTRS RS3 DSG Quattro FRONT

Springs first, then see how the car handles. If it unders a bit going into corners and upgrade the rear ARB to help it turn more - however as mentioned earlier, with a thicker ARB the car will be...

1.01 around WP is a fast time, regardless of type of vehicle.

However we all know the challenges in making a R33 Skyline fast around a track lol.. they're call boats for a reason.

I've gone...

I sense you're a Westie in Sydney haha

Hopefully will LC battle you at the lights one day (to 60km/h of course) haha

I have, when I was doing heaps of track work in the R33 Skyline. Went down the while super thick af ARBs with just Bilstein shocks with springs and the car although handled well it would pitch too...

Only if they're stiffer, if they're of the same identical spring rate then not really - except lowering the COG.

Adding in a rear anti roll bar will help the car turn better, however you'll find...

No point upgrading the front anti roll bar (often called a sway bar) as the Tiguan naturally understeers, increasing the front one will induce more understeer.

Upgrading the rear one will make the...

Then Toyota will copy it and paste it over their Rav 4, however make it much uglier.
Anyone notice the latest Rav 4 has very similar design features?

Typical Toyota, however they've lost their...
