yes, i'm fully aware about wear and tear and the age of my car but i think waterpump (a important part of the engine) failure at 47k+ KM is due to bad built quality rather then actual wear. If is any...
cheers for the reply tigger you've been always helpful ever since i joined here :)
i got quoted $1200 from a specialist. my guess dealer price will be around $1600...i called ACCC and they...
i called vw and the guy said its unlikely they will do a goodwill assistance because the car was bought in 2012 with 3yr warranty. now its around 2+yrs out of warranty but told me to bring it in to a...
hi guys,
though i ask here if its a common issue with the tiguans to have their waterpump leak around 47000km? did a search and i find quite a few of the GTIs having the issue. my tiguan is...
i think there is a oil leak in mine. top ups needed close to 3Ltrs and i've done less then 10k per year.
just curious on avg how many times a year would you need to top up your oil? my oil light came up 3 times this year so far.
saw your DIY thread before but the tiguan has a square finish for the footrest. the one you linked and installed has a arc shaped finished. although it looks decent enough maybe i'm just picky. :P
heaps of them on ebay

will going up the 19" be more bumpy than the stock rims? correct me if i'm wrong but i thought its less smooth?
i used a angle grinder. then bend the end slightly to make it look more fitting. you can just test cut it a few time with smaller cuts until you feel confident to do the final cut.
i got it...
alright tigger73 i'll write up something just for you lol here is the aftermarket trims i got from china. full window trim, door trim and back trims. shipped via express DHL the whole thing cost...
have no probs when people are personalizing their car. i think you miss understand me? i thought he wanted to do a 155tsi chrome job. that it self failed. the window trim are half done? or dont even...
too much chrome to my taste.. doesnt even look like a fake 155tsi. you can instantly tell the roof, window, bottom door looks aftermarket. sorry to be blunt but sticking the red SI on the back its...
was thinking of upgrading my speakers. this looks like trouble haha i guess i'll get a professional to do it. the sub location is unexpected! wonder how it will sound on the side panel.
yep i agree dealers are leechers. buy a Tesla for your next car ;)
yes i know the lights are not $400. i'm not blind, i read your post about installation costs $400-$800. what does the installation cost involve? just putting in the headlights or making it work with...
those 2x modules he listed usually comes with the headlights and are attached to the underside. the AFS module with wires and leveling arm is a whole different thing. aLWR Komplettset VW...
putting the headlights in are easy with the right harness. installing the AFS system is the hard part. if $400 is inclusive of the whole thing then its pretty cheap. nvm by the looks of it your not...
wow whats going on? VW having a run out sale on the new Tiguans? never seen it so cheap!
me too if the cost isnt too high. just cant justify 4 plastic strips costing over $500 :P
There is nothing wrong with the DSG in terms of mechanical issues or fuel economy. in those aspects they are superior then the 6spd also faster. dont misunderstand the complains here. the main issue...
