    iphone GPS Apps

    Hello all, My old Garmin GPS finally bit the dust. Should I consider using my iphone for a gps before running out to purchase a new unit. I don't require all the live traffic updates, just basic navigation. I wonder if these apps truly replace a new GPS. Thanks for help and opinions. K

    Hand Polish

    Good day all, The weather is turning around in the Toronto area and I am starting to get psyched for a full spring detail. Could someone recommend a decent polish that can be applied by hand? I have a black 2011 with some minor imperfections and swirls. I use Powerlock as a LSP. It seems...

    Bluetooth Question - Tiguan vs. GTI

    Hello, We have a 2012 Tiguan and a 2011 GTI. When the phone rings in our Tiguan it takes over the touch screen radio. It shows who is calling and offers a touch pick-up. Is this a setting, my GTI does not do this. Perhaps it is a newer feature because the radios look the same. Any help is...

    Candy White Question

    Hey folks, I just finished detailing our family hauler, a 2012 Candy White Tiguan. I found it very difficult to determine where my Menzerna Powerlock product was on the paint. It was difficult to pick up the white haze (perhaps it was the light I was in) on the white paint. The vehicle looks...

    Climatronic System - Fan Died

    Hello, Has anyone else had the fan on the heating and a/c system stop working? All of the controls on the panel light up and the heated seats are operational - I can feel heat radiating from the dash but the fan/blower mechanism is dead. I assume this will be under warranty, but jeez this car...

    Carpet Refresh

    Hello folks, This is my first vw and I must say, I'm not thrilled with the quality of the carpet. After one year the carpets are matted and tired looking. Is there a spray on and agitate type product you recommend or should I simply take it in for a professional steam clean? Thanks. K

    2011 Tiguan Owners

    Hello all, We're in the market for a second family hauler and we are seriously considering a demo Tiguan. We don't need a bus; we only have one toddler and plan to keep it that way. Our garage is on the shallow side, so CRV and RAV will be a tight fit. I drove both and immediately wanted...

    Hey Folks, Does anyone have any experience with the vinyl wraps and general advertising on the car? My wife is considering an ad for her automobile. I wonder if the the car will fade or discolour with these things on them? Does it complicate the wash process - she drives her through the...

    Cleaning wheel wells

    Hello, Can someone suggest a good brush to squeeze in between the tire and the body of the car to clean the wheel well? Has anyone else noticed that the rear is lined with a fabric type product. Heat or fire protection perhaps? Thanks. Kevndra

    Front lip scuffed

    Hey folks, I curbed the bottom of the front lip pulling into a parking spot today and scratched the shyte out of the front of the car. It is too deep to buff out for sure. Is there any front end mod or kit that could be added? Alternatively, I'll have to touch up paint over it to hide the...
