What have you done to your Gen2 Tiguan today?

Everyone seems to have an opinion on whether a tune voids warranty or not. Some say yes, others say no, some say it depends on the individual dealer... I haven't experienced it first hand but a stage 1 was the first thing I did to the car because the difference is night and day.

As for a Stage 1 tune, no other mods are required. I just got the intake for the noise... but it's not that noticeable actually.

What tune and claimed increase did you use and did the tune deliver the claimed increase? I am having a hard time believing some of the claimed numbers but maybe they are true and my scepticism not warranted.

Definite seat-of-the-pants, put-a-smile-on-your-face, feel-it-on-the-butt-Dyno increase.
Give or take on exact figures, but like many have said, there’s night and day difference!

Osko not even joking, please try the bluefin. It’s got a two week no questions trial. You receive it. Plug it into your car. The thing downloads your cars map. You plug the thing into the pc. The pc talks to bluefin. Within a few hours someone in England sends you the new map. You download on car. Done. It’s amazing.

The difference is honestly there. I’ve had tunes before like on the golf r, where it’s pronounced... but this is real good. I don’t want to gee it up and set expectations too high, you know what I mean?

But it’s very good. Not going to ruin it for you any more than that.

And yes I’ve tuned a lot of cars over the years, Japanese and German.

What I have done lately..

Painted my vehicle to be color coded black. I wanted a R Line but a) it was another 3 month wait and b) it wasn’t actually faster so I wasn’t too fussed. But I never loved the grey plastic.. not Rline but definitely much nicer than standard high line.

Thanks for the reply, do you think it delivers the 70kw claimed?

Looks great! Glad you didn’t get the diesel version with the crummy tail pipe.
Mind if I ask how much and where you got It done?
