Holy Epic Thread revival Batman!
Hey guys, can't believe it's been 3 years already. Hope you guys are well and still kicking. Been an off and on few years and I'm actually on Tiguan #2. I thought I had updated but Tiguan #1 went back after the trip. I took it to the carwash to wash the road...
I guess I don't recall my golf, when I had mine apart a few years ago, I do remember the duct tape over the factory spring around the shaft, that wasn't on my Tig. I do know one thing is the armrest is a lot stronger. I was always afraid to bear weight in mine, fearing I would break it. I am...
THat would make since as well, my 2011 Golf had 17" Factory Wheels and the 16" steel full size spare.
But the Tig has 18s and I have a space saver 18" steel wheel, with a restricted tire Noting the lack of any wight on the wheel. the Golf I had balanced. My Tire shop refuses to balance the...
Get the stinkiest dryer sheets you can find (Gain and Bounce work) and stick them under your engine cover and near the battery and anywhere you can safely tuck them, keeps the vermin out of the bay. I had a rat at first, thankfully no damage, and then a squirrel that I had evicted 2-3 times...
My Tig did this the other day, I had the arm rest up plugging my phone into the charger and somehow i pushed it a bit further and I heard a pop noise..Its an easy fix, take the back panel off and there is this little piece of spring steel, that acts as a stop and also rubs along the curved...
Edited my above, my connection crashed during sending, and it posted half of what I said..
All my VWs I have had so far, no spare was balanced. I hate the fact the Tiguan has a space saver. And being 4motion, the manual suggests I install it on the rear, so if I get a front flat, I need to...
Pretty much the reasoning behind the limited use spare even being full size. The tire is not balanced...and if you are like most people, the stupid lug wrench they give you in the tool kit limits the the torque you can apply to put the tire back on. I pack a breaker bar, short extension and...
2 weeks in and I'm still content with my upgrade. went up to my Girlfriends Uncles place out in the boonies, and has a nice long uphill driveway, he had plowed it earlier in the day so it was icy and slick. anther family member there couldn't make it up the driveway and left the car. with studs...
I was told its normal, its running a test of the emissions systems by fluctuating throttle levels to test all the sensors reactivity..this by a Master Level VW TDI Tech
I might be interested in that Mirror
I just did the same thing but got a 4 Motion Tiguan, or as my friends are calling it a pregnant Golf R. i too will miss the mileage but after a Tune 250 HP/ 270 tq to wheels will be fun.. AWD is sure fun, I am having a blast in the Snow in Spokane, Wa...
Seth, they are not too bad, 18x7 New York, about $250 MSRP at the dealer..I went back to the Dealer that got me into VWs to begin with even dealt with the sames sales guy.
They are even taking care of me post sale, when I was installing the splash guards, I found the Passenger headlight...
Did my first trip over the mountains today with Iggy, 2 up, and luggage and my roller walker loaded up. Nice comfortable, quiet ride, and didn't feel like my giblets got pounded to death.. was hard seeing 27 Mpg average after seeing 42-46 with the TDI..
Why they cant put the sound deadening...
Tune will be done with what I am getting back from cancelling the TDIs GAP insurance, and Extended Warranty, APR makes a great tune, its spunky enough now, but im looking at the tune to hopefully crack the 30 mpgs I hear people are getting after tune. not going too crazy with this one, just...
Taking that chance Elite, i got a really decent trade in price.. Well over Book trade in, so hopefully we will see.. I did mention that I was taking a gamble, but they said they highly doubted if a buyback would happen, but hopefully since I trust the dealer I will not go down.. Sadly with what...
First off I want to say what a wonderful group of people everyone is here and I really learned a lot from you. I hope I was at least some point helpful as well.
I went in to my Dealer to activate my 2 $500 gift cards today, while doing so, A friend that's a sales person motioned at me and we...
Did not get to use the rack, so it was flat on my back in the driveway in nasty weather, oil change day. (Finally ran out of all the Castrol oil I was given so I finally switched to Lubro Moly Top Tec 4300, using the last quart of Castrol as a flush, and I was surprised how much more black oil...
got some rack time set up to change my oil, going to double check i don't have any water in the intercooler, might even try blowing some air thru it, 2 things I am surprised our cars dont have and that's a water separator in the fuel filter, and since VW knew of moisture buildup in the...
@ATR that was my worst fear, the original owner was a Service Dept writer at a VW dealer in the Seattle area, so he made sure anything that could be done open recall or TSB, he did them.. the most I have ever got out of a line has been less then a teaspoon..and I check every oil change..7500-10k...
Changing oil tomorrow, going to pop a charge hose off again to be sure no condensation is building up, its been miserable and wet the last few weeks before the cold hit, but I really never drove in it. I don't get to drive much anymore. Started fine today, just think it was just being cold...
First off New AGM Battery this Summer and I do have the upgraded intercooler..
I haven't driven my car in about a week, 2011 TDI, 67k Miles. Its been in the 20 and 30s at night and hardly breaking 40 with exception of today it hit 50. been raining off and on, and I washed the car before it was...
