For those upset about not having Dynaudio as an upgrade option, you can do better aftermarket for less.

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,

"Whats the go Volkswagen? Wheres the keyless entry? Stereo Upgrade? Lane Assist? Do the Xenons have Dynamic Light Assist?
Why can't they give us the options to choose from that Europe have?
Gonna have to keep saving for the Q3, where i can at least order the options i want! Grrrr! Making me ANGRY!"
Not happy either - I heard murmurings that Dynaudio was going to be unavailable but I was really banking on Keyless Entry/Start - I have both in my present car and it will be very hard to get used to the lack of keyless (as I remember every time I drive my partners Jetta...).
As much as I would like a Q3, the 180km (each way) drive to the dealer for any warranty issue would be a PITA. Also, given past form as a "prestige" brand, the Q3 will probably be unavailable with cloth trim and come standard with vinyl like the Q5 - urgh...Last edited by iamthestig; 06-09-2011, 10:48 PM.MY18 Skoda Kodiaq TSI with Luxury and Tech packs.

Yes, but unless you are chasing something special, it is nice knowing your new car doesn't have to be pulled apart...
I would select the factory audio upgrade but wouldn't change it aftermarket - somehow also seems easier to finance a factory option than pay a chunk of cash out of your pocket (!)Last edited by iamthestig; 06-09-2011, 10:48 PM.MY18 Skoda Kodiaq TSI with Luxury and Tech packs.

Isn't the 6 speed auto-tiptronic the troublesome one?
Who would prefer the slush box to the Tig's current DSG? Perhaps they should have held off on the facelift until the new DSG became available or else buyers will feel jipped if the more expensive DSG option becomes available later at the same price.
I think the current run-out model is the way to go for the moment. Aggressively priced too and significantly under the BMW X1 which has lovely handling.

WTF? This makes no sense:
Due to the extraordinary global demand of the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) a Tiguan Special Model (Tiguan 132TSI Pacific, automatic and manual) will be introduced and substitutes the Tiguan 132TSI DSG and Tiguan 132TSI 6 speed manual. This special model will be orderable from November 2011, (calendar week 45/2011). As a consequence the Tiguan 132TSI DSG and manual variant will not be orderable for production until mid-2012.
I'm also struggling to see what would be the difference or downside with this second rate Pacific model!
Please explain?Last edited by aussietig; 07-09-2011, 12:18 AM.MY11 Tiguan 147TSI (SOLD)

Something just dawned on me in the wee hours of the day (apart from the sun). Will the 132TSI be a 2.0T FWD? If so, what's the likelihood of it being CVT?
The reason I'm asking is because the A4 loan car we have ATM is a 2.0T with 132kw and 320Nm torque and it's coupled to an 8 speed hairdryer.
Ermm, I mean CVT.2002 Volkswagen Bora V5 - 2007 Mazda 3 GT - 1998 Ford Contour Sport - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0T - 2013 Volkswagen Passat 130TDI - 2015 Ford Escape 1.5 - 2016 Subaru WRX - 2018 Volkswagen Golf R Wolfsburg Wagon

Not much of an update in my opinion! Different front and rear, but we cant choose any of the new options! Little things like the colour menu screen on main dash between the gauges, do we get? Volkswagen Aus are arrogant and suck... Pretty ****ty update hey?Last edited by wesa182; 07-09-2011, 07:39 AM.
