Evilz 2015 Tiguan 155TSI R Line

Hi SciroccoJ,

Where did you find those paddle shifter extension? I suppose the steering wheel should be the same as the Golf R, therefore if that fit for the Golf R it will be vice versa right.

Yes indeed. They are all the same size. as long as it fits a R/GTI paddle shifter, it will fits!

I get it off ebay...

However got slight problem with it... well, its not really a "problem", both of the wiper and turning light handle will touch the paddle if you pull it back too far. it is like a slight touch, everything still function and if you do not pull it hard, it wont touch.

There are plastic ones that I used in my scirocco R before that had no problem ...

Hi Tigger73,

I notice that the USA R-line model actually come with Bi-Xenon Headlight, 19" Wheel and a Start stop button for ignition as a STANDARD. On the other hand the Aussie version seem to be a low production R-line series, especially the fact it doesn't come with bi-xenon is a great disappointment.

In terms of the wheel, what are the legal wider size i could get you reckon? i think the standard is 235/50 R18.

From memory the OEM Savannah wheels (R-Line option wheels) where 19 x 9 ET33.
I wouldn't go any wider than that to be honest.

I had the same issue with my S2T paddle extensions. When you went to spray the windscreen washers you occasionally got a "clack" as the wiper stalk hit the paddle extension.

It was more annoying than anything.

Yeah VWA have "under specced" this car obviously to keep a lid on prices. Though I don't see why they couldn't allow people to option bi-xenon lights from the factory.

I'm also not sure why they have only put on Mallory 18x8 ET?? wheels that clearly don't need guard extensions. It seems a little pointless. They could have put on a wider wheel 19x9" ET33 would look great

I think there was 1 or 2 guys that have put this on. It's effectively a Mk6 GTI after all.

I was looking at doing this if my stock DV played up.

Hi Evilz, i put one on my Tiggy about a year ago. They certainly look to be well made & a more substantial item than the original one, for sure... I don't think they improve performance at all, just seem to be a more 'made to last' item. I can recommend!

Hi MGV,

I know it doesn't give any performance improvement apart form a more 'made to last' item, but does it give a louder sound than the stock value?

[MGV]

Yeah, I reckon there's a bit more of an audible release!

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone installed the AutoPolar FIS+ Advanced unit on a 2014-15 155TSI Tiguan? Also has anyone DIY folding side mirrors?

I put an AutoPolar FIS+ into my old 125TSI. I'm guessing it would be much the same into the current shape as the car hasn't changed (as far as I'm aware).

There's a DIY for install into a Tiguan in the AutoPolar thread here: http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...ight=autopolar

Check out Babazonke's thread for installing folding mirrors: http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...uan-85417.html

I'm not sure if he managed to complete the installation, however it was a big job made more complicated by not having all the correct RHD parts.

Hi Tigger73,
Seem like the best way to do this is to make sure i can find the retro fit folding mirrors for RHD ONLY or just manually fold it to save all the hassle.

Just got feed back from ABT, seem like for all the R-line Tiguan out there, the rear skirt doesn't fit in and need mod for the rear "diffuser" in order to fit in the quad exhausts system.

Hi fellows,

What type of window tinting would everyone consider or advice??
