Tigger73 you are right on the money! Wicked machine that is!

Let's see how long it lasts this time before playing up otherwise I'm jumping the fence to twin turbo diesel!
Well now the confusion really sets in..... after trying the myriad things as mentioned earlier to determine the cause of the rough idle, running and hesitation under power etc, I eventually got the...
Well, after the reset to standard it appears there is an issue over and above the tune..... I have spent the day f*cking around with it, changed plugs, moved the coil packs around, checked for leaks...
just reset it back to standard and about to take it for a spin first...... last time I went back to standard (month ago) it was fine, then put the tune back in and it was fine for about 2 days......
Tigger73, I have been seriously thinking of that option too...... I've had APR before on my old Jetta and it was great.... might have to go back to what I should have from day 1.
As you said mate,...
Hi Guys, Tiggy was going well for a while but in the last few weeks the same old issues have returned..... getting sick of it now!
Been doing all the usual checks as mentioned above.... even...
So I booked a 60,000 km service for my Tiggy some 4 weeks ago and finally got to drop it off this morning.... I was taken through the usual run down on costs etc.... approx $1,075 due to the it being...
UPDATE!...... Apparently the tune I had was an old version, there have been many tweaks since I installed mine so the latest was sent to me overnight, I loaded up the Bluefin handset this morning,...
Hi guys thanks for the info so far.... tigger73, I tried the MAF disconnect this morning and did a round the block but its still there..... I'll get onto superchips.
Ok guys, got some questions around an ongoing hesitation / misfire issue that is not going away with my Bluefin stage 1 tuned Tiguan...... it happens under load around anywhere between 2500rpm and...
WOW!! Go Gavs!! that is a top explanation and I agree.... I HAD a 7DSG in my (now well gone) 118 TSI Jetta.... But now I'm in with love my manual Tiggy..... No G'box issues any more.
I'll be glued to this thread!!! Go GUY!!
HillBilly, sorry put ya crook last night.... yes it was the Hill Start feature on my Jetta 7DSG that was at fault not the auto hold (Auto hold on is my Tiguan)...... yes different but hill start was...
Here's a scenario I experienced many a time in my Jetta.... I have a steep driveway, I would often pull up the driveway, use the autohold feature to hold me in position while my son reached into the...

The car that glows in the dark
Donweather, mine has done 45,000km..... by the sounds of it, about the right time for it to fail according to many forums and personal experiences with friends cars....
But don't worry too much.......
The idle is quite rough at startup with the choke on around 1200rpm, once it settled back to around 900 rpm it would be smooth, BUT as soon as you tried to take off you can feel the surging, although...
Well, after a month of rough idle after cold start, constant surging and hesitation during acceleration from 2000rpm, it was quickly found my Tiggy has a cracked intake manifold.....
Problem now...
Tiggy1, apparently engines built from June 2010 onwards have the version2 update tensioners in them...... yours should be fine....
I've still got these DVD headrests from my Jetta..... I had them colour matched to the VW leather.....matched the colour perfectly........
Could go with 235/45/19 or 245/45/19 or 255/40/19......
The rattling I'm getting is only brief at startup while the tensioner oil pressure comes up but has become more apparent since the last service about 2,000km ago..... I thought the oil filter had a...
