My Tiguan has arrived and this is my experience so far

[tigger73]

Photo added to the previous post but you can clearly see that there’s an offset between the centre of the steering wheel and the centre of the seat.

You can feel it when driving too that your body is slightly turned towards the right in the seat. It’s not a big deal but it’s just an observation.

One other thing I’ve noticed is that the steering wheel appears to be slightly offset (right) in relation to the driving position.



Whether this is intentional or a requirement for airbags / passenger protection / crash rating.

Is this off center issue with all Tiguan's ? Did you check the other Tiguan's at the dealership if they have the same off center issue ?

Perhaps the seat was assembled a few inches to the Left ?

I didn't check other Tiguans. It's just reasonably obvious with mine as there's stitching in the centre of the steering wheel and also on the seat and they don't line up.

I'd be interested to hear from other Tiguan owners if this is the case. I actually suspect they're all like that unless my seat rails are offset somehow.

It’s identical mechanically to the R-line except for HUD and audio system.

How is the audio system different - is t just the dynaudio system?

Yes Dynaudio in the Wolfsburg. You can also get this as an option in MY19 R-line.

These have only just started getting delivered in the last couple of weeks.

I checked with spirit level. The steering wheel on my Allspace Rline is dead centre relative to the centre of the driver's seat.
maybe your seat stitch is not exactly in the middle? thus giving the illusion of steering wheel being offset?

my old CX5 definitely have this offset.

Just on Dynaudio in a Tig

Driving both an Allspace with S&V and an R-line without Dynaudio (have added a Panasonic spare wheel Sub). If you enjoy music and happy to pay the extra, get Dynaudio as there is so much more depth to the sound coming out of the speakers. If you listen to them in isolation you may not hear the difference, but listening back to back you should appreciate it more, hearing the difference which is substantial in my opinion and worth every cent.

Was really glad I added the sub to my MY18 Tig, it makes a big difference, but still lags behind Dynaudio.

I’m amazed nobody else has already suggested you turn the wheel slightly to the right to line them up!

Just kidding. It would drive me nuts. Mine is dead square.

Is there any stickers that you can get to put on the puddle lamps on a highline so that it can project the VW logo, Wolfsburg logo or Rline logo?
Everything I see on eBay is for the door lights

Yeah if I sit sideways it's not so bad either

It's only really noticeable when you're setting up your driving position. If you put both hands at the top of the wheel it's fairly obvious that your shoulders are slightly twisted. Though it hasn't caused me any problems/issues on long drives.

It's more a psychological issue...
