MY15 155 R-Line

Hello all,

Just ordered a MY15 R-Line White with Sunroof. I traded in my S1, the Tig is going to be our family car or everyday car. Can not wait for the car to arrive~

very nice! the new 155tsi R line is a very nice package and good value too.

i guess we would start seeing 3 Tiguans on the vwwatercooled Happy Laps soon

[syhm1984]

Nope. I will be bringing my other car

^^^ the wife has put her foot down.... No modding or tracking the Tig allowed!!!!

The 155 R Line with DSG is a pretty competent beast.

It is heavy though so you will feel a big difference going from the Abarth and the S1.

Hit Sport mode on the suspenders, add the APR Stage 1 and DSG software mods and then find a better word than competent.

Yup

was thinking "ONLY" to do APR or REVO Stage 1 Map / DSG Mod / CAI. I think that enough power for supermarket duty and pickup/drop off childcare duties, will try to keep the Tig off the track. I will never know what else I will do to the Tig if I take her to track. But wife will not be impressed.

In all reality the 155TSI has more than enough grunt for supermarket duties/school run. It's very competent in stock form though a stage 1 ECU tune and DSG flash will sharpen it up further.

I'm resisting the urge to tune our (non-R-line) 155TSI as I want this to be a long term keeper.

Only down side is it really likes the fuel.

Are these things pre-paid now? Or are you just locking in the price with the dropping exchange rate?

Drop the airbox as it doesn't really do anything.
Try out both the DSG tunes to ensure you get the one you prefer.

my experience with the TSI engines (GTI & Tiguan), a CAI helps with the mid to top end but you loose low rpm torque. fitted the factory air box with aftermarket or factory panel filter, low rpm torque came back (more useful around town).

Locked the price because there will be a price increases due to weak ass Australian coins
