Tigger73's 125TSI Tiguan Build Thread

Hi,
has anyone tried the "Auto-Rain Closing" function? When I go in to "Diagnostics" it doesn't come up.

I'm not sure but I think that feature may only be for the sunroof. Like to close it when you've left it open and some rain comes along... but don't know how that could work without running some of the electronics modules while the car is switched off.

I may have to do some further investigation on this one.

Hi mate,
no biggie - just thought it would be handy. Could make sense that it has to have sunroof because when I went in to diagnostics it came up with "Identifying Available Functions" first time around, so presumably not an option on mine?! Is there a special procedure I might be missing for turning the screen display off too? Turn it off using menu, but then it's back again whenever I re-start the car
Cheers

I've been able to replicate both these issues in my Tig so I've raised this as an issue on the auto-polar forum

Desvejk,

Could you repost the picture? Doesn't seem to be working and would love to see the setup. I've had my car 6 months and had two flats already, and the space saver is a right royal pain. The speed rating of 80km/h is severe inconvenience when you need to get around and use the freeway.

Thanks for sharing the photo's, I'm now on the hunt for a spare full-size tyre for 'the Quan'! It's a lack of a full-size tyre that has played on my mind wheneverwe decide 'not' to venture too far off the beaten track. cheers

PS. Neat job!

Thanks, appreciate it
I have also noticed looking at version info that even though it is latest version, it has "rd" suffix for "Red Dot", rather than "wd" for "Wite Dot" (which I have). Thought I'd selected the right one when downloading, but will keep an eye on the forum and check it again once I've downloaded the next update.
Cheers

Auto rain closing of windows should work without a sunroof installed. It only requires the sensor on the windscreen. I managed to activate it with no issues via VCDS. Maybe it did not pick up the sub module in the main BCM module 9 when you did the initial diagnostics scan?

Hi mate, thanks for that - good to know. Will try again after I do next update to Auto-Polar.

Just to let you know there's currently an issue with auto-polar auto-closing - they're aware of the issue and it will (hopefully) get fixed in next firmware release.

Seems like along time but the Tig is going in for round 2 hardware fitments early next week... and a new tune file to match as well.

Hope to have some more news for everyone waiting on hardware shortly...

Can't wait for pictures/video/sound clips.

[tigger73]

Yes me too

I've asked specifically for DSG farts on gear changes and the hardware guys have assured me I'll get my wish once the full exhaust goes on.... can't wait.

The intake may take a bit of work to fit as the washer bottle filler is in the way for the VAR design CAI. But I'm willing to go through a bit of pain to fill my washer bottle if I need to in order to fit the intake. We'll find out how this one goes.

Other thing to go on is the intercooler. This one "should" be a straight bolt on job... but I've heard that one before too.

Will definitely post some photos and video/audio when I get the car back.

Cool - progress at last, can't wait to hear how it goes
