That sucks dude!!!

Has VW offered any compensation for the delay?

[GreyGoose_X]

Thanks Orpheus! Some really good info there. Good to know they're opting to not fumigate too.

VW hasn't offered any compensation on my end.

Just spoke to the dealer. He said that the Wolfsburg doesn't come with DLA activated. But is puzzled because the Allspace does apparently. He's asked the master technician to see whether its possible to activate it at the dealer. Will keep you guys posted.

If mine turns up sometime next month with DLA deactivated, then I plan to code it on using the instructions in this thread. Seems some are having luck getting it to work!

Fumigate ... sounds like a cancer causing Agent Orange fiasco

I definitely do not want my brand new car treated with toxic chemicals prior to purchase

Do you know if the MY19 VW Highline R-line has both the 'hardware installed' and is 'DLA activated' ?

[GreyGoose_X]

I'm assuming the "MY19 VW Highline R-line" is going to be in the same position as the Wolfsburg given this car is MY19 and has all the options ticked.

Still, I'm seeing alot of mixed comments in other forums. Some stating that DLA can be activated on a Tiguan, others saying AU LED headlight units have a different construction to the Euro versions..

From the description Heat Treatment involves offloading the car in a hot climate, let the car sun bake for a few days and back on the ship again! I wouldn’t think this would solve the bugs issues? Will bugs magically die in Singapore due to the humidity? Why not drive the cars across the Oz desert (it’s 60deg) in the hot sun!

Anyways I think Tulane diverted to SG (hence trip took 4 days longer from Duran to Freo). It’s supposed to be berthing in Freo momentarily so let’s see if this heat treatment will pass the test?
