Hi everyone , Its been 4 weeks now since we picked up our new TIG (10/11/09) and I must also say that its an awesome car to drive , Specs are 103 TDI Auto in black which really does mean , Black leather which I just love, Park assist another feature which has blown us away , 18" New York alloys with continental cross contact tyres just adds to the whole look of the car and the ride is firm but smooth .

I must say the TIG aka (THE BLACK STALLION) which is what we call it for now, has got to be one of the most sure footed cars i have ever driven in my life so far.. Driving it in the pouring rain which we got in melbourne over the weekend of the 21-22 of november was a breeze. the car just griped that road which made us feel very safe and secure. The TDI engine I have to say is just beautiful yes it has a bit of lag on take off but going up hills the thing just loves to pull , you can really feel the power behind it . Over taking can be a bit of a problem but shifting the auto to dsg and drop it down a gear makes the thing pull away and over taking a breeze , just takes a little getting used to the deisel engine which we have never owned before. Also have the off road pack but still havent used it.

Ok we are still in our running in faze ,only done 1,200 km and wont be going in for its first oil change untill it has done 5,000 km well thats when they said to to bring it for the change , but may do it earlier ..Question when should the first service/oil change be done? Also we have the bluetooth option , must say in the beginning we loved it . IT could recognize both our phones after setup and each time you get into the car the phones would automatically pair up with the car .But now we think we have a problem . my partner got a car phone charger and ever since the car is not recognizing the phones automatically meaning we have to pair up the phones and car up together everytime we get in.Q2 Has anyone out there come across this or anything similar .

Over all the car looks absolutely hot and we love it .So as i promised 4 weeks ago i have posted some pix

Personal preferences vary on this but it's worth noting that they no longer run "running in" oil in engines and the "running in" period is really limited in comparison to older vehicles. There is no "need" to have the oil changed until its first service interval at 15,000km though some people do. I've been told (had contradictory info on this but it is interesting) that because of the detergents in the oil it is actually "counterproductive" to change the oil more often than recommended !! Anyway, personally I wouldn't be changing it until it's first service if I was you. My first service came at 1 year and about 10,000k and that's when it was done. In the end you pays your money and makes your choices (by the way that oil is EXPENSIVE !!!!!!!!)

Cheers

Thanks ultra for the picks your car looks hot. I noticed that you have weather shields on the front windows. I would be interested to know what you think of them. Are they worth getting and do you know how much they are . Are they effective in keeping the wind of you when driving with the window open? Anyone else got them?

Thanks Ricardo, about the weather shields i"m really not sure how much they where, we had them thrown into the deal when we bought the car. As for how effective they are in keeping wind off you while driving with window down is useless. What they are good for is to stop the rain from getting in if you want the window open while its raining but you can only have the window open a very little bit , just enough to circulate the air in the car..
