One aspect that I came across when looking for engine specs is that the MY19 engine appears to have quite a few improvements, eg port and direct injection, more variable cam timing/lift, new faster warm-up, etc. These changes appear to be driven by the new emissions testing.
Does anyone know for sure? Maybe a list of improvements? Also I assume that the changes apply to both Tiguan and Allspace.
Has a Petrol Particulate Filter been added to the MY19 Tiguan 162 ?
Do you have a VW notice that outlines the MY19 engine changes you are referring to ?

I don't know for sure but I don't think it has PPF.
If you Google on EA888 CHHB you will see various lists of changes, but it is unclear exactly which ones came to Oz and when - because we are but a small part of the world market.

With no evidence sounds like you are just making stuff up
And direct from the German configurator.. looks the same to me.
Will still be interested if this version actually makes it to Australia or whether this is a cost cutting motion done in the UK to keep costs down by using polo parts?
It looks like VW have released the Petrol Tiguan into the UK market with the updated 169kw / 230 PS engine. Would we expect to see that motor replacing the current 162kw variant in aus ? I heard they were phasing out the 162
Yeah I heard this as well. Is it an upgraded engine or same engine but tuned slightly with more power? I’m really not fussed if it’s the same engine with a small power increase.
If it’s a totally new engine technology then it’s worth the change.

"Volkswagen has added a 2.0-liter TSI engine to its Tiguan range. The new 230ps gasoline unit produces 350Nm of torque, allowing
a 6.3-second 0 to 100km/h, and a top speed of 228km/h.
The engine is offered in both R-Line Tech and SEL Tiguans, and is fitted to 7-speed DSG gearbox as standard. The range-topping gasoline achieves a WLTP-approved 7.7 l/100km on a combined cycle, with CO₂ emissions of 175g/km."
I suspect the increase from 162kW to 169kW is an ECU mod to compete with the new Mazda CX5 Turbo which is at (170kW/420Nm, AWD)
Although it did shave 0.2 sec 0-100 from 6.5 secs to 6.3 secs
Now only question is will it make it into the MY19 2019 Builds for Oz ??

I read an article recently that highlights that we miss out on the newer engines due to our poor fuel quality and I believe we would remain on current engine tech unless our fuel quality improved..

CX5 turbo does 0-100 in 7.7sec so the 162tsi already easily beats it in terms of performance
