Very easy install, only had a problem coding these puddle lights and door warning lights together. But I finally
Figured it out and loving the light output, especially with led globes.

You will also need replacement door clips.

Are you sure it will fit into the 2015 tig? Also what sort of coding you need? I was trying to install the warning light for the door tonight, after taking it off then realise the wiring pin is double clip. Where it should be a single clip to fit in the connector, now i have to get some right clip wiring before installing it. Also can anyone tell me where i can source the VCDS/VAG software for coding please.

Progress tonight.



I have also installed the DV+ T9351, NGK Iridium IX (BKR7EIX) and R8 coils, speaking of which i totally forgotten to take to photo of it. . Also try to install the LED HID light headlight but failed, seem like there would be some rewiring and coding needed too. Just installing the headlight is easy, but i thought is plug and play..... which is not. Anyone got any ideas about this DIY?

The airbox and wastegate only making minimal acoustic sound and performance wise i can feel that the car is definitely smoother and happier from start to high rev. But again i havent been driving it too hard (6k rev on testing after installation), since the pistons is still new and not run in yet. Im trying to get the tuning done on next week (if i can book in) and will see how much different it gona be after.

Just a quick update, after a long wait i finally done my list for now. I've got the APR and DSG tune at the same time and i can already feel the car is so much smoother on normal driving and really give it to you when you want to push it hard. The gear changes is definitely heaps better after the tune, at least i can change lane much quicker without lag. I'm sure most of you guys knows about the tune etc etc.....

Other than that the LED DRL headlight with AFS is excellent and i absolutely love it, but still need to change all the lighting to a same brighter spectrum (maybe 8000k). Thought of using LED light bulb but it seem to be too bulky and cost too much. I have also done all the doors warning lights to be white LED, which give it more lighting when coming out to the dark. Also and of course the all the interior light to LED.
The only thing i haven't change is the rego plate to LED, even i brought the canbus error free LED light it still give me the error warning on the dash........

Final thing i did is the ABT partial kit, as it is the Tig R-line the only thing it could have is the quad exhaust and the front grill. I must say the exhaust doesn't give a load noise but a soild dull tone which i like. Will give it a go of the acoustic testing and the effectiveness of the slightly bigger exhaust when i can.

Now im thinking of improving the handling of the car, such as sway bar for the front and rear, lower control arm and front strut bar. I have looked at it from HP and want to see what are the options out there. Has anyone got them on their Tig and any suggestion?

Here is some quick snap shot and will take some proper picture when i can cope with my 4 months old.

I upgraded both front and rear sway bars with Whiteline bars on Tig1. If I was to do it again I'd probably only do the rear bar as it gives the biggest bang for buck. The stock rear bar is quite flimsy whereas the front bar is already reasonably substantial. Also the rear bar is a DIY on the driveway job compared to the front bar which needs to get done in a workshop on a hoist.

I had some fitment issues with the Whiteline front sway bar, though I'm sure these have been sorted. Superpro also do sway bars for the Tiguan and I know a few people have installed these.

Finally the new Tiguan is here.....

[TIGR]

I must say, im not quite sure what to think just yet...

[Evilz]

First VCDS attempt to fix a lighting error code.
The story is I changed the Licence plate bulb to canbus free LED bulb and it come up with error code. After reading through a lot of forum and trial this is how to do it:

* Go into module 09-Central Electronics
* Then Long Coding Helper
* Go to Byte 18
* Tick "License Plate Lighting w/o Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) [LED Lighting]"
* Do it!

Also on the way out you can then clear the DTC.

Hi Evilz, where did you get the aluminium cover for the resting foot pedal? Thanks.

It been awhile, how is everybody?

Just a quick question, how often does the Tig need a service? Currently the car need an oil change on every 3500km (i only done 6500km so far) is this normal?
Even using VCDs the max i know how to reset it is 3500km limt....... any thought to get it?

[team_v]

Service should be every 12 months/15,000km depending on what comes first.

Can anyone please advise on re-setting the service advisory via RossTech VCDS - mine is coming up months earlier than it should?
I have tried the ignition on whilst holding the odometer down which does bring up the cancellation warning but selecting OK has no effect.
it's a 2013 R Line.

The service advisory can be reset through the MFD settings for the tiguans.

No need for a rosstech
