Mk2 Tiguan Tuning

I would love to join this bandwagon but I live in the lower north shore of Sydney and there is nowhere to plant your foot longer than 3 seconds before hitting the brakes.

I would prefer if everyone refers to the Tiguan (especially 162) as a Performance SUV, I am only 22 and already get enough crap over it being a family car haha

Two in the back for me, so double cred. . Roof pod installed today ready for the Porta cot, any extra bonus cred? Felt like I really needed to wax the car today before the tune tomorrow, not even sure why.

Definitly more sleeper with the roof rack and pods....if you had a tow bar that would be a trifecta.

I haven’t done a hand wash of the car during winter, I tend to go to the brushless car washes. In the photos APR took my car was filthy, a tad embarrassing. Which tuner are you using ? I’m guessing APR with their sale starting tomorrow

Well, let’s call a spade a spade. It’s a performance family SUV. Can I ask (not being ageist) what drew you to the Tig 162 and say not a Golf GTI or R?

Correct, Peerless Automotive. Seanix who was on this forum just got his 2018 rs3 tuned there and recommended it.. Haven't even got the tune yet but already thinking about a DP and stage two.. *headslap

Nice one. Have you put a panel filter in and removed the snow grate? That will let it breathe a little more, and you will get a nice induction sound. The mod bug is addictive. I’m thinking how I can get this performance (family) SUV under 4s.....

That's where I've had all my work done. Simon has been great!

I had an i30, I quickly became annoyed about having to fold the seats down to fit anything in the boot. I often have to cart things around for work. The child in me almost purchased a Golf R Grid but I chose practicality. I also at the time thought the 162tsi in the Sportline was enough power. The other thing that persuaded me was the ride, the DCC in the Tiguan makes such a difference on the awesome roads I have to travel on the daily.
