Finally we are allowed to order some TDI Tiguans!

There seems to be still parts restrictions for the 103TDI but dealerships were able to place a very small order for October delivery to Australia.
Anyone keen on a TDI, start planning now!

Is this why I see very few TDIs around in the new model? So what is the reason for this? I have heard there was Diesel Bosch Pump troubles and Injector issues but this TDI engine model is 4 years old so how could there be hiccups now, when I bought my Tiguan all you could get was TDI, TSIs were just coming through the production line. My guess from what I have read about the new Golf VII is that the newer TDI engines will eventually replace the 103TDI. Oh well my Diesel has just started to purrrr nicely especially after a Diesel fuel purge cleanout last service at 45,000km.

On the diesels, has anyone ever done the ECU upgrade? If it made enough of a difference, would make the TDI's pretty appealing in my view (sorry). Already have great fuel economy, just needs a bit more grunt

I probably will do our TDI Auto Tig soon.
Will let you know when done.

I see on Naresh's sig a 140TDI. Have been meaning to ask him about that ! Like is that a different spec for UK market, or the result of tuning?
