My Tiguan has arrived and this is my experience so far

[Sokyola]

So yesterday I was the unfortunate victim of a nail in the right rear tyre, took it to tyreright and the bloke (and I for that matter) didn't realise the tyre was a "conti-seal" tyre. I've never owned a car that had this type of tyre before. But after he opened it up, it was full of Sticky tar like matter inside, so he had to put the rim back on and all he had to do was pump the tyre up again and pull the nail out, within 2 seconds the hole was filled up and I was off driving again. Like I said, ive never had this type of tyre before, but good to know that I don't have to take it to the tyre shop to have it patched up. Thought I'd let everyone know. FYI this is on the 20inch Suzuka rims.

Hey Mate... good to know thanks...What tyre brand have you got on yours, curious to know if theyre all the same for the Australian market?

Wait for someone who will open boot below low ceiling/open garage door There is no "distance sensor" on boot door when opening.

A good reminder, thanks.

You can however set the opening height. So, if by default it opens too far for your garage, you can set it to not open is wide (high).

You can change and set how far the boot opens

I wonder if they'll add a boot sensor to a later model though. If you've got enough clearance in your own garage it'd be easy to get caught out if you go away for the weekend

Yeah, a sensor makes complete sense.

Sure guys. I understand, that you want to feel pain every time when you use your boot outside or your garage, because you set "open height limit" to use it in garage?

Check how boot door is build (it's form/shape) and try to program it to open it highest part safety to 2-2,2m height Good luck with using it comfortable. Of course, in most use cases it will be OK. And remember that people memory is short, and if once you reset this it will hurt.


In my case (2.0m height garage with outside-open doors), I used styrofoam and glued it to my garage ceiling in place where boot door can be damaged. Also I didn't ordered automatic bood door, becase still in other places like underground mall parkings you can forget about problem.

Without distance sensor it is broken feature for me .... awesome for usability and on paper, but still factory broken.


And again, I'm far away from AU. I never was there so maybe your life experience is different than mine.

I don't think it is on their list. Automatic boot door open is a feature know from years, and still no distance sensor.

Like always, it is customer response to use car with thinking involved

Did anyone get charged for floor mats? I just realized I got charged $195 for it and as per Australian specs it should be standard on comfortline and highline- I called the dealer about it today and he said that it is standard on European ones but not in OZ- not to sure if I should believe him or not???
