Wow. I refilled mine with a funnel and a long tube. Search YouTube for Tiguan AT videos. Same transmission. There are several.

Here is a shot of my 2017 Golf Tsi 1.8T with 16" wheels and 312mm rotors off a GTI. I just barely cleared the calipers. I think even VW says the GTI can't have anything smaller than 16" wheels to clear the standard brakes.

I have one. Not so much for performance, but to help keep the engine bay temps down.

Intake (turbo) muffler

They'll be gone after you drive 50 ft.

Yeah, they updated that part 3 or 4 years ago.

Just get this:

No. Normally, you'll get a "Key not detected" warning.

No VCDS to check oil temp?

Heat cycles and plastic parts.

So is mine. Sport mode is great. Normal is like any other slush box (never seem to be in the right gear - pretty much the same as before the tune).

However, for the same price, you can get a Stage 1 tune and really enjoy the car.

I put a larger RSB on my Golf. I'm sure it was intended for a GTI. I later installed the FSB from a GTI and it helped balance things out. The stock springs are really soft, too. Upgrading the springs really helps with the roll.

When I first did this, there wasn't a serial number in the field at all. I just put the day's date in there. Now I know when I installed the battery, if I need it.
