Aaaah... Thanks for that guys. I'll have a look at getting the spare key. I've actually got a spare transponder (the black casing w the chip in it) and had it recoded. But the blade is of another VW. I could possibly find a blank blade that be fitted into the body so that I can flip it open like normal?

Some of the eBay ones I just saw is only the straight blade. N the other ones comes w the body n blade but just the shell ie no chip inside. I guess I can transplant the blade over to the spare body I have that's already been coded yea?

Any general locksmith will be able to cut it accordingly?

Thanks MGV for ur PM! Let me know once u've done urs.

You will probably need an automotive locksmith, none of the general ones could do the key for me since the bore is in teh middle of the blade.

Should cost around $30-40 (10% of the price of a new oem key)

Thanks Team_v. Think I found one on the net that's near me. He does cutting and programming for car keys so I think it should be good.

Just curious, what are bulbs do we use for our high beam and fog lights for our Tiguan?

[aussietig]

Should be H7 and HB4/9006.

But refer to your manual!

H7 for main and high beam bulbs in the regular (non xenon) lights

Thanks for that guys. I shall look into this.

V5 maps installed for the RNS510 and it's great (Speed warningns and 2011 maps rather than 2009)

Also, Queensland Raceway for happy laps in about 7 hours time.

Some of the speed signs on the maps are wrong. like it has 110 parts of the pacific motorway as 120.

I noticed that too, the Ipswich Motorway has some areas where it says 120 when it's 100, but the updated road maps are much more useful for me.

Also, most of the regular streets are accurate for speeds.

QR was very different to Lakeside, favours top speed and more cylinders than specific lines and handling.

Nice work again with the video, mate! A couple of 'interesting' corners with the sun in your eyes! Watched the others too, from the guy with the citroen, great footage! Watched you into a corner after passing him & thought body roll to be less than i expected to see when pushed at speed. Good stuff!
Top speed today? ESP on or off? Average consumption still around 20? Man, i wanna have a go !

Yeah as these progress monthly into winter the sun is becoming more nad more of an issue.
I do have the tint strip and the video camera is sitting at the base of the headrest as opposed to my eye level so normally it isn't too bad.

ESP off for the second half of the event.
Top speed was 174 on the back straight, could maybe have hit 180 but i didn't want to outbrake myself as it's the first time i have done that course and it is notoriously hard on the brakes.
Avg consumption was 21l/100km.

Not bad for a $25 event including breakfast (plus tyre/petrol use haha)
