T-Roc General Discussion Thread

How do VW react to tuning ....you are refering to a chip remap here ?

I had a TT many years ago with an APR map that Audi didn't seem to worroy about and Suncorp were easy on the insurance.

I currently have a Boxster, and Porsche have apoplexy with me just replacing the amplifier.

VW don't generally mind until you want to make a warranty claim on the engine/drivetrain. The latest MQB cars log engine parameters including min/max values so it's pretty easy for the VW techs to see that the car has been tuned by the boost/output numbers being out of "stock" parameters. So even if you stick a JB4 tuning box on that interrupts the signals you still can't get away with it.

Moral of the story is if you tune it then it's at your risk. Generally tuning companies are pretty good overall as the last thing they want is bad reviews/issues with their tunes so pretty much all the reputable tuners will tune within "safe" limits for the car/motor/transmission.

Some insurance companies are fine with it and others won't accept any modifications. You just have to shop around an be upfront with insurance so that they can assess the risk. What you don't want is to have an insurance claim rejected because you haven't disclosed the modifications.

Most of the dealers won't touch any aftermarket gear as they aren't trained on it and have to warrant their work. If it's a genuine part then they have the full backing of the car manufacturer and if there's ever any issue the manufacturer will typically foot the bill. It's a lot less risk for the dealership and I'm pretty sure the manufacturer doesn't want to see dealers supplying/installing non-genuine parts.

Actually it was available for pre-order over a week ago

If you got in early you may have scored a good deal and/or later orders are getting gouged by dealers at full RRP and $$$ dealer delivery

On the VW site there is no mention of Electric Tail-Gate, which is a deal breaker for me(vertically challenged wife).

Rang my dealer and VW Oz still awaiting a returned call for over a week now.



And also in the R-line styling the Oz version is missing the badging, which is a shame



also not too sure about the white surround on trim .... will hopefully see at Volksfest on 16th Feb, if I can get any details on that event.

[westenderbender]

The white trim is disgusting.

Does anybody know if the Australian T-Roc will get the sports steering wheel (like on the R-Line, GTI and R)?

Agree .... I was trying to be diplomatic .....

[Downunder55]

Apparently there will be a couple of T-Roc's and a T-Cross on display at Volksfest Brisbane 16th Feb to be held in a park on the corner of Gregory Terrace & Alexandria Street, Bowen Hills ..... seems to be on a need to know basis only as there seems to be no publicity for it at the moment !

Hahaha no need to be diplomatic. Let’s hope VW Australia is reading this.

[andrew7]

Anyone priced/done a deal on a fully optioned T-Roc?

[danTDI]

Just had a call from my VW dealer. He's been told that the first shipment of fully optioned cars have been sold. The website still lists 96 cars available. He said that there are no base model cars on the first boat and that my car will probably not arrive until September! Not a happy camper.

You might have to change your order for one of those red/white ones...

If they had only done them in Waratah blue instead.

Hopefully now they've got that seat trim experiment out of their system with that terrible white seat highlight trim they will hopefully return to something that looks a little classy ......

I’m not at all hopeful of that. Look at the seats in the top spec Polo GTI with luxury pack. Also the Tiguan 132 R-Line.

Also, check out the online configurations in European markets. The best chance of normal coloured seats is the leather.

And it’s delayed to August due to child seats. Wonder what the real reason is!
