Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    To my surprise, the Wolfsburg doesn't come with Dynamic LED headlights but the Allspace's do. I didn't realise this until today when I took for a test drive. Discovered whilst looking for the settings.
    Dynamic LED headlights is standard on the Wolfy.

      Sorry I should have been more specific and will edit my post so its clear. Dynamic light assist is standard on the Allspace but not the Wolfy. This is different to dynamic and static cornering lights.

      • Ah yes, you are right.

        I was quite disappointed to hear the new Tiggies with sunroofs will lose the interior lighting surrounding the roof [emoji1784]

Especially the sales managers are competing with each other for top dealership awards which gets them free overseas trips etc so they can be especially keen to land these sales.



          I think you have to be reasonable. I'm pretty sure this is the best price I've seen on a Wolfy with sunroof. Dealer was clearly looking for numbers on this day so I think you got lucky
          Yeah Im pretty happy with the deal and was surprised at how easy it was. I told them straight up what I can afford and I didn't have any movement. They came back with another offer and I said I'll go home and think about it. Then bam they agreed. Was very surprised to say the least!

          I used up a good 30mins of my test drive checking and re-checking this. Theres even a youtube video on what settings become available when you code the dynamic light assist in. But if the headlight housing doesnt have the mechanical shutters then it won't work. I guess they dropped this to add the HUD?

There's some decent paint protection/tint guys about the place that will do a much better job for the same/better price. Dealer tint/paint protection usually has massive mark-ups.
          They quoted me $2000 for tint and exterior and interior protection and another $1200ish (depending on how long for) for body work and wheel damage repair for $50 a piece. Also was quoted another $1600 to have the tow bar fitted. All of which I said no. Will look elsewhere. Ive used Opticoat on my previous vehicle and was pleased with the results but need to research what else is on offer now.

          The tow bar is another thing I need to research, I do a bit of bike riding so need a 50mm hitch, but worry the after market toe bars will interfere with the reverse sensors. Would prefer these automatically turn off when a hitch is attached. Is this possible?

          Finally, would like to thank members of this thread in particular Tiger 73. I managed such a great deal because of what everyone posted here and look forward to discussing more Tiguan stories in the future

            I haven't actually seen this and can imagine how good it would look. I wonder if an aftermarket version is available?

            • They removed the sunroof surround LED strip lighting because of risk of fire. I’d say design it better!

              • $58,500 for a white Wolfsburg with sunroof.
                NSW Business rego and cargo liner.

                My regret is that I didn't push harder to get the 5 year warranty written into the contract. The salesman just wouldn't do it.

                Any suggestions for tining?

                  That’s a good price.

                  i don’t think you need it in the contract as it’s standard across the range now.

                        Ask your dealer to contact solitare in Adelaide, they have the oryx white with roof in stock. They may be able to ship it over. I know because I test drove it today

                          They've asked a Queensland dealer which they believe they have a good relationship with them but after 1 week and the salesman told me yesterday they won't releases their stock. My wife prefer black anyway but I think white is more special.

                                Chullora nsw. Not sure how much is truth, but the salesman mentioned that most dealerships get 3 regular and 3 sunroof wolfie. But that seems quite low considering the amount of dealerships there are in oz.

                                Seems like a few people on the forum have just called up dealerships and negotiating over the phone, try that?
