Thanks for all that information man, it's quite helpful.

The fader/equaliser settings are visible on my headunit, but I will end up disconnecting the oem BT module and getting my hands on a VCDS...

Alright done deal. I've ordered the filter and gasket kit.

Appreciate your advice! :)

It's gonna my mechanics job. I'm just sourcing all my parts for everything I'm having serviced on the car.

Would you trust a filter/gasket kit like the one that I've linked?

I'm not sure what you mean?

$600 for a gasket, filter and oil is clearly a massive rip off.

I know a lot of people don't run the OEM ATF and was asking if anyone has any experience using a...

Installed an rcd330g+ recently in my Tiguan.

Steering wheel controls work.
Does not communicate with MFD.
Reverse camera is enabled by default.

I noticed that the unit produces a lot less...

I got a quote from my local vw dealership.

$150 for the gasket alone.
$150 for the filter alone.
$265 for the oil.

Uhmm....
There's filter/gasket kits online for around $110 and if I've read...

Hi guys,

Nearing 70,000KM's on the Tiguan.

Wanting to change the Transmissions fluid and filter.

2012 Tiguan (6SPD auto non-dsg).

Is this the right kit to purchase?
VW Automatic...

Has anyone managed to get the wheel controls to work with this headunit? I've got a '12 Tiguan with an oem RCD310 and even the bluetooth skip/track info doesn't work as is.

Thanks for the info guys! When I have my pump and filter replaced, I will pull it apart and have a look at how "bad" it's been damaged. My Haldex unit at the moment is confused, it decides to work...

It decided to quit again. I reset the fault code when the vehicle was running in gear and it engaged and jolted me forward a little bit. It only works for the first 2 seconds or so and disengages the...

In other news: does anyone know where the drain plug exits for the front 2 drain plugs for the sunroof? I found both rear ones right behind the wheel liners in the rear, but haven't seen the front.

Would you believe this ****? My haldex decided to start working again yesterday as I noticed I no longer had wheel spin. Wiped the codes and it's yet to come back...

Still planning on replacing...

Thanks for the info guys. So you recommend it's best just to replace the pump?

Is this the correct part number: 0AY598549A

Try disconnecting your battery for a few minutes, see if that helps wipe your codes. You should still have access to the car with the keys, so you shouldn't worry about that.

Hi guys,

Recently I've had my haldex unit fail and my car is stuck in FWD drive only.
Interestingly enough, I had absolutely no warning or messages on my dashboard but scanning for faults shows...

I've already got replacement spark plugs sitting here, done the cabin and engine filter not too long ago.

If there's no set interval for the front/rear diff, when is a good time to do a fluid...

Hi guys,

I personally prefer maintaining the car myself but am planning to take it to a workshop.
'12 2.0TSI Tiguan 4motion 6SPD Non-dsg slushybox.

Planned service:
Coolant flush
Brake fluid...

Holy ****. If you've got green coolant get a ****ing flush ASAP. That will corrode your engine from the inside out!!!

There really isn't too much you can do with exhausts on our engines. I get a drone on stock exhaust around 1100-1300rpm. Really noticeable when I'm in 6th gear at 60KMH in D.

Did you sort out that...

Have you changed the DSG filter/oil recently? How about the haldex unit in the back?
Granted my transmission makes weird shifts here and there but it's getting time to change my fluid going onto...

I did. They're "attachments" but for some reason don't load on this page, when I click edit they show up fine. Odd. :(

Also the lack of telling customers that this may be a problem. I couldn't find any detailed instructions or anything in my service logbook about this issue or taking care of it. Only about lubing up...

It's an absolute piece of **** design. I'm pretty sure VW was recently taken to court for a Class Action Lawsuit in the US about this exact same problem from cars made in 2001 onward. Volkswagen...

My Tig is 4motion. Doesn't make a difference on installation/part. The only difference is 4motion makes it a lot more difficult to install that wastegate clip I told you about.
The DV I replaced...

Wait until you get used to stage 2, gonna be wanting stage 3 soon
