What have you done to your Gen2 Tiguan today?

[iDiesel]

Mine is Now Golf R

Does the initial splash screen on start show the Tig or a Golf?

May be worth reverting back to standard layout to see if it works.Mine is OEM and looks exactly like Simonr23 posted

No never, mine is much nicer with pink highlights and as shown above I found it. No temp cos car had been parked in garage for 24 hours.

Mine came looking like Simons but when I changed from it it gave it as a PASSAT Alltrack template ( definitely i looked through OBDII history)

Thanks I have my aid set as a different model to that, Which if I remember rightly is named the Passat image.

Do you have active display?
its one of the sub-menus under “driving data” menu

Not on mine it isnt and I have it ticked in the MMI as well but cant find it anywhere

Driving data has service in 23 days and turn dipped headlights on

Thats all

Could someone post a pic with it showing please

Does this expose the mirror motor assembly?

Mine is squeaking every time it folds-wouldn't mind trying to get some grease into it

Just taking the mirror lens and top cap off should be enough to get to the motor assembly to grease it I think.

Mine actually started squeaking when opening and closing as well but never got round to doing this before I got rid of it.

I have an infrared thermometer and shone it onto gearbox through the airholes in undertray when i got home and it was 140C Engine sump was about the same


Yes i have active display but need to have a play as its definitely activated via OBDII

Those thermometers aren’t pin-point accurate. They average an area of contact points within a ‘cone of view’ the ratio should be written on the body. Maybe 10:1 up to 50:1 for the expensive ones. The ratio meaning at 10m To a flat, perpendicular target (day a wall) it is reading an area 1m in diameter.

In the engine bay, it will get readings from various surfaces- as they aren’t exactly perpendicular to its ‘cone beam’ nor at the same emissivity(sp?)

So, don’t take its reading for gospel.

If you can get a long enough thermocouple and want to risk putting it down the tube, while you’re driving, you can get a more accurate number- not practical though.

Or, you could have a sensor tapped into the block/oil line somewhere and take live readings while the car is running

Really easy, took about 5-10mins each. Just pop the mirror lens off the pop the lens cap off. 2 screws and the black plastic front surround will come off then 2 more screws and the LED will come out.

It’s one of the choices when you have driving data as the central display (avg speed, avg consumption, etc) fuel needed to fill tank is another option (maybe standard- can’t recall)

Edit- you’ll be fine as far as temps go too

Have enabled oil temp in display but cant find it when i go to settings and therefore cant display it Can anyone help TIA

Just want to make sure my full length undertray is not making things hot in the engine bay

Bumping this old thread...

Fitted the Helix “Plug and Play” soundsystem today. Got the subwoofer box one rather than the spare tyre one which probably wouldn’t have fit.

Should have got one ages back, amazing for the $! Not quite Dynaudio sound quality but damn good bang for buck and way cheaper than you could make an equivalent sounding setup. I had previously installed an underseat sub and small 4 channel amp for some extra oomph, the Helix kit is orders of magnitude better for sound quality.

Nice. How hard is it to replace the wing mirror LED's?

Really easy, took about 5-10mins each. Just pop the mirror lens off the pop the lens cap off. 2 screws and the black plastic front surround will come off then 2 more screws and the LED will come out.
