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,

    Airbag suspension could be what you are looking for, pump it up if towing.

      air bags for the rear to level would help but not with an all round lift for off road touring

        I don't think you're going to find much mate. I ended up getting a bash-plate custom made for my Tig after not being able to source the factory one.

              Air bags dont level the car when towing they only lift the rear and still leave the front blowing in the wind.
              The only thing that levels it effectively is a Weight Distribution Hitch as per here.

                  There is no shortage of Tiguan bash plates from china on Alibaba.com but can't seem to find anyone importing them?
