£31.5k was the list price of my 2015 5dr DSG model. The list price of a 3dr manual started under £30k in late 2014

Configurator up and running for the R and Clubsport. No major surprises, disappointing lack of colour options

Had the same email. Standard warranty expired in May and purchased the 1 year extended warranty. Wouldn’t say it was pointless as my email states I can make a claim up to three months after my purchased extended warranty expires

Granted there isn’t much difference but that’s a pic of the Tiguan R Line. This is the Tiguan R

Exact same thing happened to me today. Car five years old in May.

It can. I had the same issue. Booked my car for a replacement online, said I had to take it to a centre. I rung customer services to reschedule and they came to my home to do it instead

They are two different plans. You can purchase the VW service plan which is a set price of £467 in which you can service your car at any VW dealer. This will be through VWFS. Most dealers will have there own service plans which are specific to that dealership and can cost whatever they wish to charge. They will tend to sell you this for obvious reasons.

The VW service plan at £287 for the first two services at any VW dealer seems a no brainer to me if you didn't get a service plan at purchase http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/servicing/service-plan-cars-under-1-year-old

If you've got a confirmed build week (stage 3 on the tracker) it's too late to change spec. If you do change spec before stage 3 it could delay your build week (check with dealer)

Just noticed sites like Carwow and Orangewheels are now listing the Tech Pack as an option. The Tech Pack is Discover Pro Nav and Dynaudio for the price of the Pro Nav alone. VW have done this in the past, maybe a BW45 change? It's not appearing on the VW configurator yet (no surprise there) but it may be worth inquiring about if you're about to place an order or have an order in the system for with these two options separately.

Coding exactly the same. Just change the default value from "manual" to "Europe"

The "Automatic Summertime" setting needs to be activated via VCDS. For some reason it's not displayed as default.

I have an old iPod Nano permanently left plugged into the USB without issue. The head unit recognises and lists all my playlists, albums, etc. and the artwork is also displayed. I have a 7R with Discover Pro Nav, but I doubt that makes a difference

Changes can occur at bw22 and bw45. They can range from minor spec changes, additional options available to order, or (if you're lucky) free options applied to standard spec
