What did you do to your Tiguan today?

[Elby]

That's a standard R Line grill Elby, well in Europe anyway, not too sure what you guys got.

Found an interesting feature last night.

When you have the windscreen wipers set to on (not intermittent where you can select the wiper speed) it will actually slow the wiper speed when the car is stopped, for example, at traffic lights.

This is pretty nifty since usually the wipers don't need to be as fast compared to when you are going at say 60km/h.

Doesn't even need the comfort pack to work.

Installed a CTS intake I purchased second hand off a mk6 gti owner. Produces nice intake noise which is a lot more audible than the apr carbonio I previously had.

Getting a whining noise at WOT, which I suspect is coming from my DV.
Any recommendations for which DV/bov I should upgrade to?

Hi Nic01Q, I'm running a CTS DV and its working well, previously ran the GFB DV+. Others on the forum have recommended the forge DV also. The revised OEM piston DV is definitely stronger than previous designs however if you are tuned might increase wear and tear.

Not recently but I threw this cheeky one in to help out with the turbo in the tig, love how much more responsive it is now!

The other day however I put some new led t10s in the front, just to mix it up a bit

What's that?

GFB Diverter Valve

[Elby]

Yeah it replaces the factory on/off diverter valve with a 'sliding scale' as it were so you don't lose all your boost pressure when you back off the throttle

Sold mine today (technically yesterday) and will be handing over the keys next week.

Going to a couple who are impressed with the technology that's in a 2011 car and hopefully appreciate what a great package VW had devised.

It is a pity the resale value of the car does not reflect this.


Anyhow ... have enjoyed the time spent on this particular forum and sharing the journey that most of us have gone through over the years in making the Tig more enjoyable and special to own and drive.

Will be leaving the VW stable and unlikely to return any time soon.

Nevertheless, my only remaining connection to Watercooled will be my Custom POIs.


Au revoir and I wish everybody the best with their continued Tig ownership!

It's a sad day when you hand your keys over - I still miss my 125TSI.

Good luck with your new car. It's a pity that so few gen1 Tig owners are going onto gen2 Tigs. The problem is the gen 1 was such a good value package that the gen2 had a very high benchmark to reach.

........!

agree with this. was a bit disappointed when was given the trade in valuation. but managed to sell it privately for a little bit higher.

I can only say bye bye wet grip off the line and welcome wheel spin

Based on the pic ... she bought an expensive french door fridge on wheels?

yup.

was going to get a bmw x1 to replace the tiguan but... the MINI dealer was next door to BMW and things just happen not according to plan when you bring your wife to car shopping
