Track and Field?

[NZTiguan]

You'd think that with NZ and Ausi being so close together some of the agents could get their heads together and do a bit of a swap so you guys get some track and field models and we get some petrol ones eh !!!

Guess that would be just too sensible !!

Back on topic - I dropped a message to Barloworld Mascot saying "get VWA to import these", and I got a return call that I'll follow up today. I don't expect anything but at least we can get an opinion heard

Will be interested in their reply. Wonder how many buyers they lose (especially where I am, out in the country)? Not many, but maybe enough to make a difference.

Checked out the Alexandra Webcam: Clear autumn day - looks magnificent. Autumn colours look great where I am too, but dreary rain & no Track & Field Tiguan for over 4,000km.

I'll return the call this arvo after some meetings.

Shame they're not putting the 125kw diesel in the Tiguan - it's a stronger motor generally.

Anymore info on that phone call yet motk ?

Sounds like a similar situation to the Scirocco dilemna. Apparently at the AU VW dealers most recent conference they petitioned VWA to start bringing in the rocco, haven't heard anything about it since.

The 125kw Diesel is being put in in Europe !! I understand that it's VERY easy to chip the 103 up to it !! but personally I'm more than happy with the 103kw !!

Ran out of time on Friday due to some project work - I'll try today.

Yeah, but I'm concerned about the durability of a chipped 103kw engine, considering all the upgrades in the 125.

I doubt there'd be any problems at all, as I understand it the "basics" of the 125 are just the 103 with a chip and the "upgrades" are just "extras" BUT as I say, I can't really see the point as the 103 has plenty of grunt anyway. Guess it depends what you want it for but it's supposed to be a small SUV not a GTI and as such I think all the extra horsepower (the use of which DOES burn more fuel) is hardly worth the effort IMO.

I believe the 125 actually has different pistons, conrods, valves, etc. It's been covered here previously.
103kw is plenty in a 1350kg car, but pushing it in a 1700kg one. Also - power is good when you're dealing with sand :0
