Tiguan Towing

However when vehicles are complied I guess that would be taken into account as well and there may be some legal problem that they have had to revert back to the 100kg.

This is the question at hand, why did they upgrade then downgrade back to 100kg? What does it mean for those that have 200kg stickers and owners manual adendums? What about those who have 100kg stickers but the manual states 200kg?

Lots of questions which could have been easily addressed if VW communicated correctly.

I’m of the opinion that they downgraded because they upped the warranty to 5 years. But I’m only guessing, if it’s an engineering issue then they should do a safety recall, but it’s been over 3 months since the change and crickets.

Sounds like a plausible reason

I reckon they didn’t get proper approval from head office....and when Germany found out, they cracked the *****s - it’s a global model

There’s updated specs on the official website now. 200kg for 3 or less passengers, 100 for 5, 30(yes really) for 7 people.

What half of the towball weight info was missing, your majesty? (Hillbilly)

Well according to the PDF from VW AUS I found, it says this TIGUAN 132-162

Up to 2 in front row 200kg
Up to 2 in each row 100kg
Up to 5 (132) 70kg (162) 60kg

So perhaps YOUR link is different and it is as Your figures are for an ALLSPACE

which is here Tiguan Allspace

By half the info I meant if you found the page a nice person would have included the link to be helpful to others.

Apology will be accepted

[Simonr23]

Well you’re not getting one

[Guest001]

Thats fine.

Next time Ive got stuff to share that I paid for and gave to you for free dont bother asking.

[Simonr23]

I don’t understand what you mean, sorry. I may have forgotten something (I have a crap memory) but what have you bought and given to me before?

This has to be the stupidest towing ball weight conditions I have ever read!
WTF VW!
WTF?

[Simonr23]

Agreed 100%. It must be max vehicle weight related(gvm)

2 sumo wrestlers, 200kg, but 5 17yo female gymnasts, only 60/70kgs.

Brilliant.
