My Tiguan has arrived and this is my experience so far

[sangabang]

Got mine today and all good except for a dob of windscreen sealant on R/H rubber down the windscreen. Wiped it off with turps to find it was covering (badly) a nick out of the rubber, Is about 3mm x 2mm so dont know whether to growl or not as it would probably need a whole windscreen surround and that would mean screen out and about $600 of labour to realign the cameras etc

Maybe some cheap accessories will keep me quiet LOL

Haha I too was tempted to ask for rubber floor seats for the inconvenience before taking ownership and driving out of there.

Too late now.. as with experience they couldn’t care less once your rear wheels leave their premises.

2. Noticed several deep small yellow spots on the paintwork around the boot sill protector, side mirrors and front bumper. Got it in writing
that the dealership will get it removed on its first “complimentary 1st month service”. I said I wasn’t going to bother with the 1st month complimentary service and was told by the sales manager that it was “mandatory or you’ll void the warranty”.. I gave him a blank look and
gritted my teeth - didn’t wanted to waste my time arguing with him.

LOL to the “mandatory” 1st month service. When our dealer delivered ours he was very clear in saying no service needed until 15,000kms. Just to drive it easy for the first 1,000.

I bet bet you’d need some ‘urgent’ work done at that 1st service as well. Something under warranty of course, that could easily be used by a dealer on a different car as it wouldn’t actually be installed on yours.....

My dealer delivery made no mention of the service but there was a 1000km written on the window sticker that I originally thought said 10k.

I'm skipping it so I don't have to deal with them wanting to let a 15yo work experience kid wash the car with a handful of rocks.

I hear you. But when I sent my Wolf in for a headlight check, they asked me if I'd like a wash. And I said don't touch the paint, but vacuum the inside mats. Carpet swirls, no probs. Paint swirls, no thanks.

Question Guys I want to buy a luggage protection strip for the rear bumper but the Chinese seller says it only fits a Tiguan L which I found out is a Chinese version of the Allspace.

I would have thought the taildoors and top of bumper is identical across the model range ???????????????

[iDiesel]

They have some pretty unique models in China - Terracan and Jetta are different to others available elsewhere
I'd be cautious...

I was told as well by the dealer there are no mudflaps for the Rline

Do you have a photo of how the mud flaps look front and rear on an Rline ?

Dealer is partly right There are NO REAR mudflaps for an Rline Because the rear bumper is a bit different due to wheel arch rolls

Here are the pics including part number Tiguan Rline Mudflaps - Google Drive
