I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

[TheTig]

Hi All, FINALLY picked up my fully loaded white 162TSI last Friday and so far loving it. Waited 9 months for the car and just missed out on the My18 sux but what can you do? So for those waiting, hang in there. Can't be worse than me .

I'm thinking if I should get windows tinting because the standard already have UV protection and also back privacy screen as well. Any thoughts or advice?

Congrats, interesting on the UV protection, my dealer said it didnt have it so whilst i tinted the front, also had a UV film applied to the back windows so it matched all the way around. Prefer to have my cars tinted makes it easier on the AC in summer I feel plus the privacy factor as well.

Enjoy the car!!

Thanks mate. For those who are interested. I've requested the UV details from VWA and below are the details I got. Cheers.

Thank you for your enquiry.

With regards to the Tiguan Highline, we can confirm the UV penetrability is as follows:
Front screen <1%
Front side windows <31%
Dark tinted rear side and rear window glass <5% green glass (65% light absorbing)
Optional panoramic roof <5%

Gents, found a little chip on the bottom part of the drivers door. Looks like it was caused by another car door. Does anyone know where I can get this fixed in Sydney? Very annoying

Hey guys, new to the forums here.
Ordered our tig first week of Sept 16, fully loaded R-line and collected last week of Feb 17. So far have put 12k on it. Drives amazing and the LED headlights are superb. Love everything about the car, cannot fault it. Those hanging on for the wait, its bloody worth it.

Thanks mate, hanging on is an understatement, I think I'm gonna have to stop looking at this forum, I'm going nuts.

Narr, disregard above comment, I love it!

On a side note, does anyone have any idea on if/when/maybe they will have a Tiguan R, like the Golf R here in AUS? I took the Golf R for a test drive the other week and was mighty impressed.

I have received the I'm on my way email 6 times in the last 3 weeks .The most recent ones today .
According to the dealer my car is docking in Melbourne tomorrow.
I'm a bit skeptic about these emails though given that the car should have been on water for the last 4 weeks at least.
Any thoughts?

That was end of May.
