2017 Tiguan R Line Details

[JB286]

Hi Beowulf,

I have spoken my dealer to try and get the tow bar included on my R-Line and have been told that it isn't yet available and that the R-Line can't take a tow bar just yet.

Are you able to provide any part numbers or anything I can take back to them? Very keen to get it done up-front rather than later on in the process.

Many thanks!

Yes the new rline can have a tow bar fitted. The one on my rline is a vertical bar so barely has any cutting of the plastics and the bottom of the bar sits higher then the bottom of the car so isn't the lowest point.

Hi Beowulf, are you happy with the boot sill protector? I'm thinking of getting it but would like to know what people's experiences are.

Hi veew,

I have two young kids and I personally think its great having it there, its harder to mark and if its marked it doesn't show unless you are close. And yes I have experienced this which is why the dealer now owes me another sill protector

I did spend some time thinking about getting the clear one or this one but the clear one stops scratches but not a decent scrape or bump, this one is quite strong plastic and looks like it will stop damage to the car.

does the r-line come with lowered suspension?

Not according to the specs. Ride height is the same for R-line as Highline and other AWD models. The FWD 110TSI is slightly lower (191 vs 201mm for AWD).

Also looks like VW has added Ruby Red to the options list of colours for the R-line now.

It's in the new spec brochure and also on-line configurator.

Still would like to see the R-line in Habanero Orange though

Hi.. does anyone know if the 162 rline allows you to close the side door mirrors from inside? I know it automatically closes when you arm car. Just don't know if it can be closed from inside the vehicle. Thanks!

Hi Beowulf
I have the exact same toe bar on my 162 rline , I have removed the bottom rattle bolt & the main pin but cant remove the toebar tongue, is there another grub screw holding the tongue in position?
