Mk2 Tiguan Tuning

[LaNOS]

Have to agree. There's been a number of reported gearbox issues with 2017 cars which although is probably still pretty low % numbers is more than almost zero for DQ500 in gen1 Tigs.

I have a 2017 162TSI Tig, have just done the Stage 1 APR with Stage 2 loaded. Am going to get the exhaust upgrade and DSG tune done when the QLD borders open.

What are the gearbox issues you refer to for the 2017 car? My gearbox hasnt given me dramas since purchase luckily. Although the coolant line into the engine block broke off luckily it was repaired under warranty!

There's a few people with reported leaks. And there have been a few with mechatronics units replaced.

Ok, will the DSG tune worsen this risk?

I don't think it would make any difference, however it will likely make any warranty claim more of a challenge. Not that an oil leak should be a factor, however sometimes dealerships/warranty dept can be a bit tricky to negotiate if you're tuned.

Oh excellent, I'm out of warranty anyway! I intend on keeping this car for much longer. Finally caught onto how much money you save not changing cars every 4 years haha...

I have created a separate post as well as I couldn't find much info on here, but just in case more knowledgeable people see it here, I'll ask if anyone has any experience tuning a 140TDI?
If so, what were your findings from it?
What tune option did you go with?
What benefits did you see, in power, responsiveness, and fuel consumption?

Cheers

Hey guys, I just got the Stage II down pipe and high flow cat done for the Stage II APR tune. Got the car back yesti and the yellow exhaust/engine light came on. Anyone have this similar issue?

I should also add I had a TCU tune done as well on the DSG which apparently increases the pressure of the clutch packs for less slip. My D1 and R are a little jerky to start with, is this something that will go away as the DSG relearns?

I didn't think APR was doing stage 2 anymore, unless you booked and paid for it months ago?

Who tuned it? Is there a chance they didn't load the stage 2 file? I would take it back to the tuner and ask them to scan the codes to see if the engine light relates to the new DP install or not

Yeah i got the APR Stage II tune done before the cut off and rolled back to Stage I and then just this week had the hardware installed. This was all done at Eurotune on the Gold Coast.

You’ll need the stage 2 file re-installed as the stage 2 includes the mask for the CEL from the O2 sensor.

Does anyone have their stock downpipe and mid section they want to get rid of? Need to revert mine back to stock for a while. PM me please [emoji1696]

I've purchased a Bluefin tune from Superchips, sent the OG file off last night, waiting on the modified file back to upload. My vehicle warranty expired 2 weeks ago (2018 162 sportline)

Must say the service from both Jonathan at Superchips and Superchips UK has been exceptional, i had a bit of an issue installing the desktop software (due to a problem at my end), and both companies replied to my emails within 10-15 minutes.

Looking forward to feeling the G's.

Had the Superchips Bluefin tune on the car since Friday, I reckon it took a couple of days to settle in properly. By this i mean it had the power but delivery was a little rough (this could have been the traction control though too), after a few days driving though it feels very smooth. It can feel a bit odd initially with the traction control struggling to maintain grip.
The power increase is significant, and the delivery of power increases through the rev range, 5-6k now is a huge amount of power.
The Tiggy is a rocket now, stoked.
I like i can put it back to stock myself too.
Maybe the APR tune coaxes a little more power, but it's such a huge improvement with the Bluefin anyway i'm not sure it would matter to me.

Good times.

Hey guys I had an APR Stage II done at Eurotune with a non APR DP and have since gotten the emissions CEL on the freeway. Eurotune are nice enough to flash this with a DKR tune, does anyone know much about them? I haven't heard and cannot find out much about their Stage II tune.

TIA
