Mk2 Tiguan pictures of your car

[spacemannz]

just noticed my Rline 140tdi has different exhaust to some of the photos in here, i have twin exhaust on LHS
but most seem to have one on either side, any reason why its different?

edit - seems all the TDIS have twin on one side
162tsi have square on each side

is there a reason for this

The 162 tsi ports are fake. The exhaust exits under the bumper.
No idea why they do it on the other petrol and diesel models. Would’ve thought they would do something special for R-line.

definately is weird, i thought it was specific for the Euro Tigs only, then i realised its just the 162tsi which have the ports either side which i no are fake, but they look better.
ah well... cant have it all

i picked up mine within a week or 2 of looking for one, so cant complain

It's a hangover from the European models. In Europe, the models with the most powerful engines get the face exhaust ports. That's the 162TSI and the bi-turbo TDI. In Australia we don't get the bi-turbo TDI, the highest spec is the 140TDI which gets the twin exhausts on the left in other regions, so they just kept it the same for Australia.

Bit late posting - got the Tiggy 3 weeks before a month long holiday! Absolutely love it, btw.

Anyone got any good pictures of the std window tint on an R-LINE, vs having privacy/darker tint added?

That's what I am getting at. I think I would like to have the back darker than the VW std, but was unsure exactly what the std OE looked like and if anyone had any before and after pics. Sounds like you might be voted in, if you are having yours done this week.

I don't think your able to tint the rears any darker (i think they approx 20%) being privacy glass.

When i was sorting mine, i was even asking about a clear tint (just for the UV properties) on the back of mine and was told that would be illegal in VIC (even though clear, still affects the light transfer or something, cant remember exactly what was said, was back in Feb). So was only able to have tint applied on the front windows. This was through the dealer.

[DoggiesUtd]

yup will post up photos once i get tints done
looking at getting 30% all round

[DoggiesUtd]

This was through the dealer.

theres your problem

[smarty]

Not sure about that
I'm sure they'd sell me their overpriced tint at any chance - she was only letting me know what they could and couldn't do with respect to Vicroads..
Of course i know i can just roll down to the local tintacar and get it applied if i want.
Maybe things are different in NSW with your RTA.

[DoggiesUtd]

oh i thought you said dealer said it couldnt do it at all on privacy glass
tbh the privacy glass is crap, i always get 30% tints all round on my cars, its just past the legal limit but not enough to get pulled up and fined (knock on wood)
