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,

  • MY19 Tiguan - Golf GTi Mk7 Springs

    Hi, I was wanting to clarify, is it just the Golf GTi R Mk7 springs that will fit the Tiguan (and lower slightly), or will the Golf GTi Mk7 (standard) springs also do the job?

    While they may fit given same MQB platform I would have thought that they would have different compression rates. The tig would also be a heavier car for the spring rate too

        I think there was a thread about use of golf coilovers in the Tig a couple years back. Think they were available for the golf but not the tig. Could be a different story now as the new Tig has been out for 6 years now.

          Yes they fit.
          I have mk7 Golf R springs in mine and it is fine.
          I do have EMD Reverse Rake pads in the rear to make it a little higher as I do the occasional family trip loaded up.
          Lots of talk about the spring rate, but I don't notice any issues. That being said, I don't have anything else to compare with

            I wonder if there’s a difference between Golf GTI and the ”R” springs…..

              Easiest way to find out would be to check the part numbers wouldnt it
