Tiguan Wolfsburg Edition - Australian Delivery Information

[jdstephens]

Yes it’s enabled from the factory. At least my Wolfsburg was, purchased a few months back. Absolutely love the car, even more so with APR stage 1 Flash tune. Resonator delete has given the car a deeper growl at RPM but it’s not a huge increase in sound. Same gearbox as the RS3 too. 

Very interesting, the Wolfy I test drove only had light assist enabled in the settings, not DLA, and it wasn't available anywhere to turn on. Its not even listed on the brochure like the Allspace is. Perhaps some are coming out of the factory enabled by mistake?

The plot thickens! I've also shot a note to the dealer, will circle back if I get anything.

But its either the Wolfie is equipped with DLA or its not. Surely it can't be that inconsistent coming out of the factory.

If mine turns up sometime next month with DLA deactivated, then I plan to code it on using the instructions in this thread. Seems some are having luck getting it to work!

Has your delivery been delayed? Mine was meant to come in a couple of weeks but shipment delay is pushing it back circa 6 weeks.

That sucks dude!!!

Has VW offered any compensation for the delay?

[GreyGoose_X]

Thanks Orpheus! Some really good info there. Good to know they're opting to not fumigate too.

VW hasn't offered any compensation on my end.

Just spoke to the dealer. He said that the Wolfsburg doesn't come with DLA activated. But is puzzled because the Allspace does apparently. He's asked the master technician to see whether its possible to activate it at the dealer. Will keep you guys posted.

Fumigate ... sounds like a cancer causing Agent Orange fiasco

I definitely do not want my brand new car treated with toxic chemicals prior to purchase

Do you know if the MY19 VW Highline R-line has both the 'hardware installed' and is 'DLA activated' ?

[GreyGoose_X]

I'm assuming the "MY19 VW Highline R-line" is going to be in the same position as the Wolfsburg given this car is MY19 and has all the options ticked.

Still, I'm seeing alot of mixed comments in other forums. Some stating that DLA can be activated on a Tiguan, others saying AU LED headlight units have a different construction to the Euro versions..

From the description Heat Treatment involves offloading the car in a hot climate, let the car sun bake for a few days and back on the ship again! I wouldn’t think this would solve the bugs issues? Will bugs magically die in Singapore due to the humidity? Why not drive the cars across the Oz desert (it’s 60deg) in the hot sun!

Anyways I think Tulane diverted to SG (hence trip took 4 days longer from Duran to Freo). It’s supposed to be berthing in Freo momentarily so let’s see if this heat treatment will pass the test?
