Goodbye A180 , hello VW Tiguan 150 DSG 4Motion RLine

with a caravan planned in our future and the lease ending on my wifes Mercedes A180 we moved onto a Tiguan


66 plate Jan 2017 registered, has 24,000 miles

So picked it up a couple of weeks ago.



First jobs have been


  • clean the leather on steering wheel and dsg lever, mileage is checked as genuine but way too shiny.
  • replacement 3d gel number plates
  • air filter
  • charcoal pollen filter and air com freshner
  • touch up stick
  • mobile phone vent holder and charging cable
  • register for erwin an buy 1 hrs time to download cars full specification sheet
  • had the wheels off today to paint the rusty disc bells, touch up the rear backing plates (already rusting) and clean behind wheels and apply wheel wax




loving it so far, next up are


  • paint calipers, colour tbc
  • TowTrust towbar inc specifice harness + coding
  • potential remap once Ive researched who to pick
  • retrofit rear camera
  • wheel spacers
  • VCDS tweaks after I get a new VCDS cable , i only have the old hex-can which doesnt support the Tiguan


So far pretty impressed by the 150 TD drives great even on 20 inch wheels
