First 'mods' on the mk1.5 tiguan going in lol
Had to get a round of replacement parts due to old stuff either being worn out or previous status unknown or bad brand replacements found
81k miles
Truck is doggishly slow, sometimes misfires or feels like misfire, so either coils, plugs or fuel cut.
Brakes are about gone, squeaky, shuddery, dont feel too strong, lost of dust.
Struts are visually leaking in the rear, the ride is SO sway heavy which tells me its just riding on the springs
Trans seems to slip a bit between gears, moreso when cold. Yet another VAG automatic i am just not pleased with. Cant seem to do a relearn on vagcom, and doing the gas pedal trick when the truck is in acc mode did nothing. So hoping a flush and filter helps...
Bilstein b4 struts
FCP brakes, akeboro ceramic pads
Apr ign coils, ngk plugs
6.6 bar fuel filter
Trans flush/filter
Sway bar endlinks
Fresh diverter valve
Today doing brakes, flush, rear struts, coils and plugs, fuel filter
The autolite spark plugs arent too bad but were gapped to .045 vs .032 per spec
Also seeing oil on most of the threads at least which tells me theres likely a valve cover leak to tackle soon
And the ignition coils had been previously replaced with duralast brand, and i know oem/+ is really the way to go. I couldnt be bothered to remind myself with objective evidence that the apr coils are good/oem quality, but they were cheap enough (like 120 for all 4? Maybe too cheap, which may be telling...)
