Gen 2 Tiguan Wheels Thread

Ok research done for those interested.

The standard VW cap size appears to be 65mm. The ones on my rims are 69mm.

Options for those interested:
1. You can get the cap from the VW touareg 70mm cap to fit into the Audi 69mm rim. This cap is black with VW in chrome.

2. There is a seller which has the 69mm cap but with the VW logo, but essentially it’s just an Audi cap with a VW sticker.

3. A guy has got the Audi cap with the lug holes covered as well in a silver which will match the car best.

So I’m either going to just get a silver VW sticker or take option 3 I think.

Just a thought - Aliexpress has the 132mm or 135mm blank centre caps (quality unknown) which accept a 60mm badge. I was thinking of spending the $20 on these just to see how they fit/look before spending significantly more on a genuine solution. They may even be OK...

What does the 132mm measurement refer to? I thought the Audi was 69mm, is that the length of the lug cover?

I've got a VW one that includes the lug cover. It was off the base model Tiguan wheel which I have as a full-size spare. I'll dig it out and measure if you like.

Never skimp on cheap tyres................

Anyone used the Goodyear - EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC 3 XL FP 255/40R20 101Y??

I am approaching 40,000 km, traction control light coming on all the time with the IS38 now even on light throttle.

I’ve used the F1A2’s on a couple of cars and would rate them highly. Decent mileage from a performance tyre and great handling for normal road use.

Certainly not a bad tyre. Be interested to hear how they wear.

Out of interest how much did they set you back per corner?

They had run out of Michelin pilot super sports which have been my last few sets of tyres. I love them. These were the next best for me. Apparently they are even better in the wet.

Here’s the wheel cap/ nut cover I’ve got.



Probably suggest the eBay ones are better especially as they’re shown fitting the rims on your car!

Traction control light with light throttle? What mods do you have and what is this thing pulling down the quarter?

Ps do you find the DSG clunky?

I got mine replaced so it is worlds apart from where it was. But I drove my sisters R again last night and realised how smooth it was!
