Maybe some cheap accessories will keep me quiet LOL

Haha I too was tempted to ask for rubber floor seats for the inconvenience before taking ownership and driving out of there.

Too late now.. as with experience they couldn’t care less once your rear wheels leave their premises.

LOL to the “mandatory” 1st month service. When our dealer delivered ours he was very clear in saying no service needed until 15,000kms. Just to drive it easy for the first 1,000.

I bet bet you’d need some ‘urgent’ work done at that 1st service as well. Something under warranty of course, that could easily be used by a dealer on a different car as it wouldn’t actually be installed on yours.....

My dealer delivery made no mention of the service but there was a 1000km written on the window sticker that I originally thought said 10k.

I'm skipping it so I don't have to deal with them wanting to let a 15yo work experience kid wash the car with a handful of rocks.

I hear you. But when I sent my Wolf in for a headlight check, they asked me if I'd like a wash. And I said don't touch the paint, but vacuum the inside mats. Carpet swirls, no probs. Paint swirls, no thanks.

Question Guys I want to buy a luggage protection strip for the rear bumper but the Chinese seller says it only fits a Tiguan L which I found out is a Chinese version of the Allspace.

I would have thought the taildoors and top of bumper is identical across the model range ???????????????

They have some pretty unique models in China - Terracan and Jetta are different to others available elsewhere
I'd be cautious...

I was told as well by the dealer there are no mudflaps for the Rline

Do you have a photo of how the mud flaps look front and rear on an Rline ?

Dealer is partly right There are NO REAR mudflaps for an Rline Because the rear bumper is a bit different due to wheel arch rolls

Here are the pics including part number Tiguan Rline Mudflaps - Google Drive
