I ordered the clutch and actuator from Sachs in Germany and that was about $1200au at the time. The guy that fitted it was a wizard because it was not easy, and he only charged me $800 I think. The...

My car is a 2013 Pacific 2.0 TSI 6 speed manual. Chipping it lifted the performance to such an extent that I had to fit a performance clutch. Turbo lag is certainly there, so power is not instant. ...
I agree that the car should not be noisy. Our Highline is very well sealed , with virtually no wind noise. When it is very windy outside we sometimes get a little, which is common to any vehicle....
Had Sachs performance clutch and actuator fitted......Full power, not even thinking about slipping.
Pedal is quite a bit heavier and uptake crisper as I expected. No noises and I'm happy with...
Hi pistoncranky
I think you are worrying too much!
I've had 3 Golfs [2 GTI's] and now have a 2012 Tiguan like yours as well as a 2017.
In my experience the Tiguan, though superior in its class ...
Update. Solution from Racechip was to dial chip down a notch. Clutch is coping now.
Watch out! Racechip pro 2 is so good that it is overwhelming the clutch. You would think that being 4WD and a little bit tough it could handle a bit of steroid hit!
Have just fitted Racechip pro 2 to Tiguan 132 TSI 6 speed manual. Very good power increase...........too good because the power completely overcomes the clutch at about 3000rpm in the higher...
ARE there any reasonS why the tuning or chipping of series 2 132 TSI, should be any different to the last model?
Well---it arrived today complete with German instructions. The English booklet was for a TDI common rail diesel. Not to worry because I had researched the fitment pretty well and really had no...
Just ordered a RaceChip Pro 2 from Germany for $400 delivered. This is for 2013 132tsi Pacific .
There is an uphill stretch of road that I will do a test run on in 5th gear. ie before and after...
Tig162R I'm looking at same for my 2013 132TSI. I've read a lot of stuff on tuning boxes. Some say they are fantastic-----others want to sell them because they've caused problems or don't do a...
We waited patiently for a long time for our 162 to arrive and after 2000kms we are pleased with our choice.
Like the leather seats with lots of settings as well as remembering how big I am compared...
Very wary of chopping in to a factory build. I suppose the original muffler could be welded back if it was horrible.
Exhaust note is a very personal choice. Some people are turned on by noise...
ARB in Geelong fitted a Hayman Reece to my 2013 Tiguan for $1044. Good looking unit and have had no issues with it.
Don't know the situation with 2017 Tiguan, but at the time they were a lot...
One of you blokes described the exhaust note as sounding like a toilet hand drier. Spot on!
Tiguan has now done 600km and I am very impressed. Over the last 2 days I have been driving brother in law's Toureg R line,the 250kw v8 version. I think they are around $115k to buy. I drove it for...
Hey Mac, Will your next birthday be as good as this?
Well----picked our white 162TSI Highline up today and so far so good. The car looked very nice gleaming in the showroom and after a very comprehensive instruction session from Jenna it was time for...
If you live in the sticks, it's under $450, with a $650 excess. That's with the maximum no-claim and agreed $50k value.
Our wives could set up a blog site to talk about their OCD car husbands and how they are hopeless at packing the dishwasher!
Mac 135-----It's gonna be worse here !!
Car to be picked up 7/2 at midday!
Ordered it in September so the wait has been long. We've all been hoping that our 162 Highlines live up to our expectations. I'll let you know how it shapes up....
Q1 Do spooky dark shadows scare you when going around R/H turns in the hills----at night?
Q2 Does it make you smile when you really give it the berries?
Q3 Does it fart on hard up-changes?...
Yeah, but one report did mention this and my legs are not only long, but stiff too!
