My Tiguan has arrived and this is my experience so far

First thing I'd do for the wipers is to give the windscreen(s) a good clean. If they have got polish on them or had some coating apply this can cause the wiper blades to judder.

Get out some windex or other glass cleaner and give the glass a good clean and see how it goes.

I use Rainex, treat the glass and rubber blades, the rubber blades get rainex on the every 6months, after I wash the car and the blades. You’d be surprised how long the blades last when treated with rainex.

Picked up the car today after an Opticoat glass treatment. It was raining ever so slightly and the wipers activated. No noise noticeable. Guess the windshield just needed a clean.

Could I trouble someone with a Wolfsburg/162 having 19/20 in wheels to measure the height of the car (getting a new driveway done and have limited height clearance with the garage door so need to see if the new car will fit in the garage when it arrives)

Cheers!

Should not be an issue, I would think garage door would have to be min 1.8m to be legal?

Tiguan (all models) are 1,665mm in height

[Cal16v]

It's just over 1.8

i've had my allspace for 3 days and already driven about 800km i like most things about it, but i'm hating is the million rattles and buzzes in the dash and front doors. coming from a mazda 6, hat was 4yrs old and 75000kms, i'm really disappointed in this side of things. lightly pressing on the dash panels makes the creaking stop/worsen, depending on where and how i touch(and i do mean lightly) similar for the doors. some of the door buzzing i cant control. i feel it might be internal items touching on the outer door skin, or the sheet of plastic, that i assume is behind the door card.

anyone else experiencing this? i know 1 or 2 car reviews touched in this subject, but my car seems excessive.

i know i can take the car to the dealer and have them pull bits off, apply foam tape, snap little connectors off in the process(and hide that fact from me- looking at you mazda) and likely say "cant fix it, have to deal with it" but i'd like to know it's not common and can therefore be fixed.

on a positve note, the headlight system is great, the various tech is an upgrade on the mazda gen1 versions, i liek that both front seats are fully electric and the stereo is fantastic for a "standard" system.

the digital dash looks great, but i wish i could choose which data fields were present. i see no point have the fuel level shown twice and the speed shown 4 times on one face (twice as instant speed and twice as cruise speed set) i'd rather have different data fill each availble spot. doable with vcds?

do we have speed sign recognition here?

can i have nav directions in the active display?

why do i have a traffic menu on the screen, but its disabled, and unable to be enabled?

Thanks,

mine doesn’t seem to have any squeaks or rattles...touch wood.

yes, you can have nav instructions in the AID

traffic menu is available in other countries but I believe VW Australia hasn’t paid for this service

But it can be activated in about 30 seconds with VCDS.

Isn't Traffic an option in the bowels of the car settings?
