Bakeryhill you'll need to reshoot the vid and use launch control. Much more fun

Wow it really short shifts in any gear above 1st.
Were you in sports mode?
Just imagine the difference with an ecu remap!

No...in D for that one. Have used S a few times but giving the engine a good break in first before hammering the S mode too much.
Decided against the ECU remap - the APR dealer didn't inspire a lot of confidence - they've never done a new Tiguan before and apparently the whole ECU has to come out, breaking the security bolts.

Without them seeing the car it would be hard to guess whether the ECU has to come out or not. Some have to and some don't, luck of the draw. If it did have to come out, they'd replace the security bolts with new ones as part of the work anyway. It would be a 2 trip upgrade as on the 1st they'd read the ECU and its encoding and on the 2nd a few weeks later upload the upgrade.
Apart from having to go twice, pretty painless. And if you're serious about adding performance actually a pretty insignificant hurdle to cross ..... performance stock at best is average, whereas chipped its seriously fast ....

DSG's clearly an improvement, I wish we'd waited 3 months to get our instead of the slush box.
Ahhhhh and the oil temp is too cold!
