    Just taken delivery of a 132tsi R-Line

    Just Rooke delivery of a MY15 Pepper grey Tiguan with the R-Line package and a few other extras, after washing I have noticed that the alloy strips under the windows have some sort of staining on them? Is this common. I will try get some photos up.

    Hey mate and welcome to the club.

    I have just purchased a 2011 147TSI a few weeks ago and noticed the same thing with the chrome trim on my car. To be honest I haven't attempted anything to polish it yet so can't give any advice other than to say I too have noticed it so I don't think its out of the ordinary.

    What chemicals did you use to wash your car?

    If you've just picked it up maybe take it back to the dealer and get them to inspect it?

    Yeah take back to dealer for inspection. They might replace, but also might say your chemicals damaged the trim. Just give them a little fight and they should replace the chrome trims (or bend them trying to take them off)

    VW are charging $1900 for a towbar on the Tiguan, anyone know if this is the going price or should I be paying a lot less?
