Tigger73's 125TSI Tiguan Build Thread

[tigger73]

So it's 1:1 for returning to stock vs leave as stage 2. Though I'm with you Adam that I'll get more by parting it out and selling off the bits than I will if they're still bolted to the car. Also I think Tiggy1 just got really lucky that the guy was a car nut and wanted a tuned car anyway rather than keeping it stock.

In reality I'll probably leave a lot of the suspension upgrades on as it'll cost me more to remove the bits than I will get for selling them.

So if there's anyone interested in any parts before I put up a parts for sale thread, send me a PM. This will include things like: Haldex Sports mode controller, AutoPolar FIS+, Full Turbo Back Exhaust (or could just do cat-back), S2T silver paddle shifters, carbon engine cover, sprint booster. I'd also look at selling the OZ Racing wheels, however I'd need to get some nice stock wheels to go back on the car. If I was going to go back to stock wheels, I'd probably change the Eibach springs out also.

Haldex ... Polar FIS

They may be useful for my car and the wife's car...

Ummm just one question.... in what scenario can a performance Haldex controller be useful for your wife's car?

good to hear that your Tig is approaching 100,000km without any drama. my wife's Tiguan is still at 38,000km and i expect to keep it until 60,000km-80,000km before upgrading to a X3 or X5.

Pffttt X3 or X5. Get a proper SUV instead of a soccer mum mobile with run flat tyres which can't even go off road!

I'll take the cat back, if you do decide to sell.

If nobody wants the car complete then I think what I'll do is part-out the easy to bolt off bits and pieces and leave the rest.

If it's going to cost me more to return it to stock then it may as well stay on the car.

Still undecided whether to take the DP/tune off or leave it. As the DP is a single piece unit it means dropping out the tail shaft which is not a job I'd do on the driveway.

For those that have expressed interest I'll PM you before starting a parts for sale thread.

Good news! At least you can be happy that Tig stays whole for a quite some time Congrats to you and the new owner! So have you finalized the next move ?

Yeah just happened to be that someone that came out on one of our recent cruises was looking for a car and had pre-approval for exactly how much I was looking for.

Nice to know it's going to a good home and will be appreciated.
