Btw does SWB Tiguan come with the ambient lighting around pano roof? It looks like it’s removed in Allspace? I didn’t particularly check on that when I was looking.

Mamba Ebike to replace Tiguan
I'm just about to pull the trigger on an 162 Allspace to replace the poor old GTI and had a couple of questions:
* Is it still possible to buy the VW 5yr warranty at any time after purchase (up to 3yrs, obviously) ? I know this was true when we got the Golf ten years ago, is it now ?
* The specifications sheet has a footnote around the tow rating, "When fitted with Volkswagen Genuine Tow Bar. Towing capacities are applicable to Volkswagen Genuine Accessory Tow Bar". Does this actually matter or will it be OK to have an aftermarket towbar fitted (is it even worth doing that $$$-wise ?).
VW atm have a 5 yr warranty standard
The rules regarding towbars state that "You may tow the limit of the towbar or the vehicle WHICHEVER IS THE LESSER"
so vehicle 2000kg towbar 2500kg = 2000kg
vehicle 2000kg towbar 1500 kg = 1500kg
The aftermarket one in some cases look awful but can be cheaper
There is also towball down force to be considered and the limits are in the back of the Manual or the AUS supplement supplied with the car and the shorty and the Allspace are different so check before you buy and can make a difference especially if you want to tow a van

Hey all, recently purchased a Tiguan Allspace RLine. After much trepidation (and wife nagging) I sold the Audi RS3 and took the better halfs lead in the Tiggy (we've got an 18 month old with number 2 on the horizon at some stage soon).
Here's it looking stock. Will share a few upcoming mods over the next week or so. Getting the wheels blacked out and a lot of the chrome removed.
Haven't seen many others doing this to an AllSpace (yet) so wanted to share with the community.
*Sorry for the sideways pic upload? Not sure how to correct / why it's uploading like that?!

Anyone have an opinion on the possibility of retrofitting the tailgate kick sensor thingy to a 2020 Allspace ?
Not a deal-breaking feature by any stretch, but nice to have if a few hundred bucks worth of parts can do it.
