The dealers can't do anything as they're not the ones paying and will just pass the buck down the line. I did finally manage to get a commitment from VW customer care, however that was only for...

Don't take your key with you in the car and make sure you have all your tools with you so you don't have to open the door and get things. Otherwise disconnect the battery but if you do you still may...

I couldn't really see any major amounts of dirt/grime, however the button works much better after giving the contacts a good clean with iso-propyl alcohol so clearly there was some contamination on...

I pulled my switch out today and cleaned the contacts. Works 100% now.

Here's a quick guide:

1) Remove the gear lever trim by using a trim tool. Start at the top as there's clips at the base.

I know a few people have bought the AliExpress buttons. The only issue is that they are for RHD Tiguan and when installed the STOP/START lettering is upside down :(

It still works like it should...

I've run into this problem also with the car 1 year out of warranty VW customer care said that they may only provide part goodwill.

So I think I'll try cleaning the switch first with...

Yes turbo is still available. Best to send me a PM.https://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2022/03/ead231b5801061626a80bc2ad6ff86ad-1.jpg

Thanks for the feedback. They don't offer test drives in Adelaide and the online reviews aren't glowing. I think if you're going to have build quality issues you may as well get a Tesla as then...

Either the stock controller forgot to order your car or they allocated your car to someone else and you got bumped.

There was a stop on orders for a while and the factory wasn't accepting new...

Are you ordering the Tiguan R? Or the 162 R-line?

If it was the R I'd kind of understand but 162 R-line sounds like the dealer hadn't done their job properly.

We got the EQA250 which was the only model available when it launched in the middle of last year. It's still got plenty enough poke for around town with instant torque. So much nicer to drive in...

Yeah likely will be an EV. Got my wife an EQA last year and we love it. It's great for around town which is the majority of our driving. For me I'd get something with a bit better range and...

I suggest using a couple of cable ties for your grilles as they do easily pop out.

There's a FAcebook group dedicated to Scirocco's (Scirocco R Owners Club Australia [SROCA]) - you may be able to...

If it was a T-Roc I wouldn't be selling off all the parts... ;)

Car is going back to stock with plans to upgrade/replace in the next 6 months.

All stage 3 parts are listed for sale here:...

Evo coating is OK. Like all coatings they do get build-up over time and need to be decontaminated and re-applied/topped up every 12 months or so (depending on your usage).

I would use it again.

All stage 3 parts off my Stage 3 Tiguan are up for sale including:


HRE FF15 20x9 ET35 + 255/40R20 Goodyear F1A5's @ 30%- $2,200
Alcon CAR97 6 piston calipers with Forza FP3 Brake Pads,...

Yeah fitting is the same but instead of oval tips you'll have round ones.

R-line has (slightly) flared arches which allows another ~10mm offset/width.

You can afford to go up to 35 offset with 9" width on a non-Rline (or +30 and 8.5" width). That's what I'm running and the fronts are just inside the line of the guard.

The 18/19x8 +45 is typical...

Yes the guy who had this before me had it in a Mk7 Golf.

Welcome aboard! The TDI's can get some tidy increases in low end torque with a stage 1 tune which is probably the sweet spot for the 147TDI .

Matt Brand has done a couple of reviews - both 110TSI and 162 Rline:
