Tigger73's 125TSI Tiguan Build Thread

Auto rain closing of windows should work without a sunroof installed. It only requires the sensor on the windscreen. I managed to activate it with no issues via VCDS. Maybe it did not pick up the sub module in the main BCM module 9 when you did the initial diagnostics scan?

Hi mate, thanks for that - good to know. Will try again after I do next update to Auto-Polar.
Cheers

Just to let you know there's currently an issue with auto-polar auto-closing - they're aware of the issue and it will (hopefully) get fixed in next firmware release.

Seems like along time but the Tig is going in for round 2 hardware fitments early next week... and a new tune file to match as well.

Hope to have some more news for everyone waiting on hardware shortly...

Can't wait for pictures/video/sound clips.

[tigger73]

Yes me too

I've asked specifically for DSG farts on gear changes and the hardware guys have assured me I'll get my wish once the full exhaust goes on.... can't wait.

The intake may take a bit of work to fit as the washer bottle filler is in the way for the VAR design CAI. But I'm willing to go through a bit of pain to fill my washer bottle if I need to in order to fit the intake. We'll find out how this one goes.

Other thing to go on is the intercooler. This one "should" be a straight bolt on job... but I've heard that one before too.

Will definitely post some photos and video/audio when I get the car back.

Cool - progress at last, can't wait to hear how it goes

I had a Whiteline front sway bar and ALK installed into my Tig the other week (installed the rear bar myself).

Appears to be some fitment issues with the parts for the front bar and ALK. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar.

There is very little clearance on the lower suspension arm and so the workshop who put the bar on jacked the mounts up 3-4mm by adding some washers under the mounts.

However under hard acceleration the cover for the tailshaft makes contact with the middle of the sway bar...

Spoke too soon.

Spoke too soon.

What happened?

What happened?

Not all the parts are ready and time/space constraints have meant things have needed to be prioritised. Sad story of the Tig.

Grrrrr - story of our lives
