Mk2 Tiguan Tuning

[LaNOS]

Have to agree. There's been a number of reported gearbox issues with 2017 cars which although is probably still pretty low % numbers is more than almost zero for DQ500 in gen1 Tigs.

I have a 2017 162TSI Tig, have just done the Stage 1 APR with Stage 2 loaded. Am going to get the exhaust upgrade and DSG tune done when the QLD borders open.

What are the gearbox issues you refer to for the 2017 car? My gearbox hasnt given me dramas since purchase luckily. Although the coolant line into the engine block broke off luckily it was repaired under warranty!

There's a few people with reported leaks. And there have been a few with mechatronics units replaced.

Ok, will the DSG tune worsen this risk?

I don't think it would make any difference, however it will likely make any warranty claim more of a challenge. Not that an oil leak should be a factor, however sometimes dealerships/warranty dept can be a bit tricky to negotiate if you're tuned.
