  • Tiguan with paddle shifters

    Hi guys, a new Tiguan owner with a rather unusual issue (I think)!

    Took delivery of a new 103TDI with DSG about 4 weeks ago. Noticed paddle shifters on the steering wheel but didn't make any comment to the salesman at the time. Tried them later that day, and the shifters are not working. Not surprising as I believe they are not standard in the Australian market.

    To cut a long story short, the dealer has told me they cannot be activated and they've ordered a new wheel (without shifters, of course). I'm tempted to hang on to the current wheel and investigate a little further.

    Anyone with deeper VW knowledge have any comment?

    Regards

    Tim

    If you have the auto transmission they should be able to be activated via vagcom.

    You are correct that the paddle shifters are not standard equipment in australia.
