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,

        • OOPS, the video was already posted yesterday.
          BTW, on German forums I read many buy the parts of the fake exhausts/diffusor at considerable costs (about 1500 Euros), just to have the look!

            • Interesting that the Tiguan did not pick up the ute in the AEB testing.

              • 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan SUV Review, Towing Claims Explored

                Just has a couple more mentions about towing, VW pretty shady leaving it up to the consumer to decide how much they can tow etc. They're will be a very clear line when it comes to making a warranty claim or if you have to make an insurance claim.

                • There's been a bit of discussion over whether the R-Line pack was worth it. I've read a few reviews lately which suggest that it's a must with the 162TSI, and this one probably makes the strongest case:

                  Not sure I agree with the road noise though - the Tiguan is the most quiet of the SUV's I've driven (X1, Koleos, Tucson, Forester, CX5, ASX, and RAV4).

                    • This is a review on for the new Q2, but I enjoyed reading this quote:

                      "Prospective buyers should also consider the Volkswagen Tiguan 162TSI, which offers similar levels of technology, more practicality, more performance and arguably a higher-quality cabin for similar money despite the more pedestrian badge."

                      • Sort of makes sense though don't you think. A some point the downward price positioning of products within brands like Audi must bump into the better finished versions on the VW range.

                        They are are far from the same product though and I think comments like that have more to do with hitting word limits than sensible insight.

                          Q2 is hitting a different market segment to Tiguan. Q5 to Tiggy is the better comparison.

                                Perhaps not an equal comparison either.

                                Q3 is in effect a dressed up previous series Tig. It's now the best part of a decade old in terms of chassis, electronics and is not an MQB platform. New Tig based Q3 next year.

                                At the moment I think the Tig 162 is positioned in a space almost on its own. Clearly smaller than the Q5/MLC group, larger and more modern than the Q3, able to out perform the Mazda/Kia group of products (in 162 form at least) There might be an X3 version th,at competes more or less directly.
