Just picked up my 162tsi Allspace.
The test car I drove didn't have a comfort mode setting in the drive selection. Rep told me the comfort mode was added to the RLine pack as it runs on lower profile tyres.
To my surprise my car has that feature... The test car was only a couple of months older than mine. Must have been a software update for new cars.

Yes that’s correct, VW deleted the ambient lighting around the sunroof in the current model (MY19) due to technical issues with the cabling or lights (I don’t know why, must be a quality issue).
In Aug this year there was a worldwide recall for cars with sunroof manufactured before July 2018 for this issue to be fixed (ambient light causing a fire hazard). I gather because of this they removed the feature entirely which was a shame. I reckon they could of redesigned the ambient lighting to be safe for new models. I was looking forward to feature too!

Allspace or regular Tiguan?Just picked up my fully loaded 162tsi, I can confirm that there is no ambient lighting around the sunroof.
I thought the sunroof ambient lighting issue was only related to the Allspace...

I have July built Allspace and it looks they have just deactivated the roof lighting, as it looks like they are still there

Yes the lights are still there but I’m pretty sure it’s been disconnected.
