Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • R-Line carpet - not sure if the replacement carpet fitted is correct

    Hi,

    I am wondering if someone may be able to help?

    I had the unfortunate experience of needing to have all my carpets replaced in my 2018 R-Line Tiguan... the upside was my insurance company was awesome.

    The downside has been the mob that ordered it and fitted it. I have a concern that what was fitted was not the same as the car came with, it doesn't seem as plush and there are strange markings on it

    I have found a 'press out' in front of the passenger seat (best way I can describe it, see image). This is unfortunately starting to press out and I fear I will be left with a gaping hole.

    Can anyone with a 2018 R-line confirm if they have the same? At present I only have my word against the repairer, maybe my memory is wrong and if someone can set me straight and or supply an image of theirs that would be much appreciated.

    Kind Regards

    Drew

    I just checked my my17 tig r line and I have the same press rectangle thing
    I also think if I push on mine hard enough it may push theough
    its like a provision for wiring, maybe on tigs with electric passenger seat motors or something

      Drew, that is the same on most (if not all) VAG models for the past 20yrs or so.
      That is "punch out" for additional equipment, such as Dynaudio Amplifiers / Bluetooth Modlues (back in the day) etc. etc.

      Nothing to be concerned about, they are all like that. Move on...

      Glad you had a great insurance claim though...

      What actually happened to warrant replacement carpet?
      Do you have a Sunroof?
      Water leak of sorts?

        ope126,

        Thanks for the additional info, it is much appreciated.

        Yes I do have a sunroof but it wasn't from that.

        Carrying fuel in the rear and it leaked... a mistake that wont be repeated.

        Do you know if the carpet types are the same between the variants? It does not seem as plush as I remember it - but then again I don't remember the cut out. The car no longer stinks and that is the main thing.

        thanks again
