I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

Oh and for the benefit of REXman the lettering isn't red it's maroon - you know the same colour of the invincible Qld State of Origin team

Blue and white would be so much better.. all jokes aside the black surround makes the plate so much more.

This no review thing is killing me. Has anyone found a 162 'tis review yet?

You know considering tha VW isn't releasing the 177kw diesel, it's weird they are releasing the same motor in the Skoda..

For those who've got their Tig with the sunroof, could you please test something out for me?

When you use the auto-open feature (2nd click position of the roof open switch) does your roof open absolutely all the way to the end? I just noticed lately that whilst I thought mine opened fully, if I then manually pulled the switch again and held it, the roof actually opened a bit further, maybe another inch or so.

Hope this makes sense, thanks.

I don't have one but I remember seeing that in a video review.

See below at around the 15 minute mark, same behavior.

Wow, you have amazingly detailed memory to remember something as small as that!
But I'm grateful that you did, because I watched all of his videos and didn't pick it up

Wipe over with eucalyptus oil and a quick polish any sign of the foam backing protector will be gone.
My last few cars all came with this but I have Euro plates so all the better.

Has any one of the long waiting 162 TSI Rline orderes have had confirmation of cars been shipped yet? My last update was that my car has been built but that status hasn't changed in the last 3 weeks

Mine is still only at the ordered stage (after 4 months)
I still remember waiting for my Tiguan 147 (new model in 2009) for over 7 months.

I ordered min in September but haven't heard anything official from VW. I followed up with the dealer last week who said that mine was to be "handed over to production on 24th December". I guess that means it's scheduled to be built I the final week of the year. I'd prefer if they were to wait one more week so that it's MY17 instead of MY16.

Model year cars in Germany are already built for the following year from September (which is what I remember from Porsche). The vehicle data of my 2017 Tiguan 162 R-line say "production date 2016-10-18" and "Model year 2017". The thing you're after is registration date, registration in 2016 makes it a 2016 car, registration in 2017 makes it a 2017 car. My car is arriving in the last week of December, so I wait until the new year has begun before picking it up/having it registered.

Has your dealer confirmed they will hold on the registration until January? I originally asked mine about a month ago when I found it was coming in towards the end of December and she said that VW would probably want to register them in December. I was going to press her more on it closer to it arriving as I would much rather get it registered in January.
