With VW announcing that the MY19 GTI is now ditching the 169kw engine and opting for the 180kw, when do we think VW will standardise that across the other models ? Ie do you think the 162 Tig will end up with the new 180kw block ?

Reports frpm German Forums that the Active display is going to be the same as the T ROC from week 48, the T Roc dispaly is two inches smaller Than the Tiguan but seems to do a whole lot more. You can bet that as this type of technology gets more mature it is going to be changed much more frequently.

It’s a shame that we can’t update the software like we do on our phones and get a new look and features once a year.

How much difference is there really between the engines 162kw vs 180kw? Are there different components or is it just a higher tune on the turbo etc ?

Can somebody help please. I am wanting to know what the exact length of the rear sill protection strip is.(5NA061195A) or equivalent. I happen to be passing through USA and was considering trying to put in my suitcase. It seems that in the USA 5NN061195A7W Bumperdillo has superceded the previous spec part. I can grab here for $100 US, but it would cost at least $70 US to ship it separately, so exchange rates considered not really a bargain. I have searched extensively
Thanks

I want to thank the helpful members and particularly tigger73 for all the helpful posts in this and other Tiguan threads.
This week we signed up for an MY19, Highline fully loaded in Tungsten Silver. 5 year warranty (which tipped us over the edge), no Service Plan. Delivery is quoted as several weeks. Like everyone, the waiting period begins.
Was able to get a bit over 5% off the total price, and my sense is that the Allspace has freed up supply of the 5-seater, helped by poor Sept sales. Hence the introduction of the 5-year warranty.
Thanks again, and I'll be more actively involved here now. Must figure out how to change my tag, the GTI has long gone...

Congrats mate!
In my opinion Tungsten silver is hands down the best colour available!! We waited to see what the Wolfsburgs looked like before deciding and while they are nice, we still see the Tungsten as the best colour option

I'd say 18kw is the main difference..
The 162tsi engine is essentially the same engine as what's in the golf R but the turbo is an is20 and not an is38.
The 132TSI is a different engine design and can't just have a turbo and tune added to increase to the same level as the 162 or golf R performance.
