    Even that isn’t accurate for the vintage car being discussed.
    My late 2018 allspace has 5 yr warranty, but the window says 3.
    There was a time where the 5yr was a promo and then it got announced as...

    Yeah, don’t start the car until it’s been given a chance to charge. But do get a good charger- which often means it’ll have a higher maximum mode (maybe 5-8amps) it’s the other modes that the dearer...

    You can try putting a decent charger on it. Something with a recovery/boost mode is your best bet.
    Somewhere around $120+ (brand dependant) if buying locally.

    A battery that meets VW specs is...

    Yeah the current 9.2” unit is annoying. I miss the volume knob for quick changes.
    I also with there was a direct button for USB. So those two parts of the new system are wins!

    I’ve never liked the front lights part of the mk2 Tiguan. Doesn’t look ‘nice’
    The mk7/7.5 golf and Passat front ends are much better.

    So if this mk8 front end and improvements to...

    It’s probably the same camera as the current golf/Tiguan/polo. May have had a bad one installed in the test car.m
    The current allspace has the fake exhaust vents too :(
    At least on the diesel- so...

    In that case is the seat being manually (electronically) slid beyond a predetermined limit and resetting itself?

    Try this- adjust seat 1cm forward from the place the car automatically moves it to...

    It can be turned off in the settings menu.
    I’m sorry, but I forget the name/directory path of the option, but It’s something about convenient, or easy entry/exit. Probably in the seat/convenience...

    It’s not great at night, but better than Mazda, Kia and (aftermarket) Garmin.

    Request they inspect an/or replace any items that aren’t waterproof on the inside. Wouldn’t want corrosion, electrical faults, mould in the carpets/insulation materials.

    Definitely. I’m about 99.999% certain you have the lights. You may have to be proactive with the dealer and request the y action the recall work. It’s annoying for them to do this work, so they’ll be...

    The tow bar one is tricky. Depending when you bought your car (if new at the time) they are lowering the vehicle specification/ability. This may constitute a reason for the vehicle to no longer be...

    My 7/18 build allspace has the lights. They were disabled at purchase already, but the recall reactivated them.

    Are you saying your roof lights were disabled and then not re-enabled?

    Or your car didn’t have them fitted?

    If it is a 2018 build, I’d be very sure the lights are there.

    Yep, standard response to every car dealer. Disgusting- but imagine it from their POV. “Why be honest and decent, when consumer les are hard to get enforced”

    That was a good article.
    I would’ve fought the washer pump failure at only 3yrs 3mth age- definitely a ‘fit for purpose/price’ claim.

    Different R surely?
    There is the R line pack which is the cosmetic stuff and some steering/suspension modes.

    This new model is a different engine (tune or hardware) though.

    You’ll 100% be ok- if you’ve kept the car serviced.
    The dealer already knows this too- just wants to get some brownie points by “putting the pressure on VW Aus”

    It’s a pity that cars with stop/start can’t (officially) permanently disable it. I know it’s a compliance issue and that’s why- but still annoying.
