    This will be my build thread and where I post up things I’ve done to my car. I’ve “reserved” the first 10 posts so that I can create a summary of the build instead of people having to trawl through the thread later.

    Or the Tig bug... given that this will be our third.

    It'll still be a couple of weeks away as the car needs to come into the dealers stock (being transferred) and I also need to sell Tig #2. I'm not trading in (at this stage at least) so looking to sell privately. As soon as I've sold the 155TSI Tig we'll be looking to take delivery of the Sportline.

    Congrats Tigger73! I had a feeling all this mod and tuning talk would tempt more of the Tiguan Gen 1 guys......I’ve subscribed to your build thread mate.

    The problem with the 2nd Gen Tig is that if you want to tune it then you have to get the 162. Then you'll want the R-line kit for the adaptive suspension. Plus DAP for the Adaptive cruise and you're now talking a $60k car.

    So when the Sportline came out I thought it was the perfect model if you were going to start doing some performance mods. The fact that it's on run-out and 1.8% finance just tipped it over the edge so I pulled the trigger.

    Otherwise I probably would have been looking at a low km R-line 162 in a year or 2 when they started coming on the 2nd hand market.

    Dont let the low finance deals make you think you think you are getting a good deal...

    PS you could just edit your first post with updates..

    Actually the low finance deals are a way that VW subsidises the sale without providing "discounts" which then hurt resale/second-hand market. It does make the car more affordable as you're not paying back a big chunk of interest.

    I could edit my first post, but if things go the same way as my first Tig and I keep it a few years then I think I'll be needing a few more than 1 post for the summary ...check out my 125TSI build thread here:http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...ead-83577.html
