The Tiguan [...]]]> The new Tiguan presents a new invigorated design and whilst brand DNA elements such as the horizontal grille and prominent lower front bumper are evident, the new Tiguan displays a fresh but familiar styling theme. Precise and powerful lines from front to rear of the vehicle combine to create a sporty and dominant compact SUV.

The Tiguan model range is now bolstered with a completely new and exciting proposition – the entry model now heads the line up with the much awarded, responsive yet efficient 1.4 litre 118kW twincharged TSI petrol engine with the inclusion of BlueMotion Technolgy to optimises fuel savings. The engine is mated to the 6 speed manual transmission with power delivery driven through the front wheels. This offers an amazingly affordable and extremely competitive price point model in a fast growing area of the segment without sacrificing equipme125TSI rent or comfort levels. A future front wheel drive DSG model is also in the initial planning stages to further enhance our competitiveness in this sector.

The outgoing 125TSI has been replaced by the improved and upgraded 132TSI with 132kW, 2.0 litre petrol engine delivering exceptional drivability and complimented with impressive fuel efficiency. The diesel model 103TDI has been injected with improvements including BlueMotion Technolgy for added economy.

To complete the range, the 155TSI with DSG combines style, elegance, practicality and heightened specifications as well as added performance from the 2.0 litre 155kW turbocharged engine over its 147KW predecessor.

The below table outlines the model line.

Model Code  -  Model Description   –  Drive
5N20QX/12  -  Tiguan 118TSI 6 speed manual  -  Front wheel drive
5N20N2/12  -  Tiguan 132TSI 6 speed manual  -  4MOTION
5N20N9/12  -  Tiguan 132TSI 7 speed DSG  -  4MOTION
5N203U/12  -  Tiguan 103TDI 6 speed manual  -  4MOTION
5N203R/12  -  Tiguan 103TDI 7 speed DSG  -  4MOTION
5N22M9/12  -  Tiguan 155TSI 7 speed DSG  -  4MOTION

Equipped as standard across the range is the convenience of Bluetooth connectivity and Media Device Interface (MDI) allowing you to listen to your favourite tracks or make that important call during any drive or commute.

Customers will be offered a simplified but concise factory option list – To highlight some of the key options, the 18” inch New York alloy wheels enforce the sporty stance of the Tiguan and matched with the additional front fog lights complete the essence of style. Improving visibility and visual appearance, is easily gained with Bi-Xenon headlights with LED driving lights. The Adaptive Chassis Control option gives you the choice of three different driving settings to suit your driving demands. Park Assist 2 will be offered for the first time across the Tiguan range and with the incorporation of front and rear parking sensors will assist greatly to reverse or bay park with ease. The interior can be optioned with Vienna leather appointed seats and complimented with the additional Comfort Package to include dual zone climatronic air-conditioning, automatic headlights, rain sensing wipers and interior ambient lighting details. The complete list of options are detailed in the attached new Tiguan Information summary.

Tiguan 132TSI Pacific Special Model

Due to the extraordinary global demand of the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) a Tiguan Special Model (Tiguan 132TSI Pacific, automatic and manual) will be introduced and substitutes the Tiguan 132TSI DSG and Tiguan 132TSI 6 speed manual. This special model will be orderable from November 2011, (calendar week 45/2011). As a consequence the Tiguan 132TSI DSG and manual variant will not be orderable for production until mid-2012.

The Tiguan 132TSI Pacific special model will be identifiable with Pacific badging at the rear of the vehicle and is available in manual or alternatively as a 6 speed (conventional) Tiptronic automatic gearbox. This special model will include a host of additional features at no additional recommended retail price to the customer. Both the manual and automatic variants include, the Comfort Package, Front Fog Lights, and Park Assist 2. The addition of these key features adds $2,800 worth of value to the customer as well additional sales opportunities. Please see the below special model information:

We believe the new Tiguan is an extremely competitive Compact SUV in its class with compelling, comfort, style, safety and affordability. A detailed summary of specifications, colours and options is available to you in the attached document. Pricing will be announced and dealer pricing distributed at the time of launch, which is currently scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2011.

These vehicles are visible on your code in NADCON. The new Tiguan will shortly be available to order through NADCON Configurator.

Current high levels of demand globally for the new Tiguan are presenting some challenges with production. For this reason to secure the maximum available production quota, we will be prescriptive with the fairshare offer mix until calendar week 21/2012, at which time this will be reviewed.

*We are currently not able to release the Tiguan 132TSI Pacific special models for ordering or the NADCON configurator. Due to this, the Tiguan 132TSI DSG and manual are now available to configure. Please keep this in mind that even though these vehicles are configured as 132TSI DSG & manuals, they will be produced from calendar week 45/2011 or later and will be built as 132TSI Pacific special models with the inclusion of additional features and the automatic gearbox.

Detailed specification, technical and pricing information will be available closer to launch.

Step 1 – cut opening for camera in rear bumper

The butterfly camera was chosen as I wanted to minimise drilling into the rear bumper and wanted a camera that was out of sight hence the area immediately above the number plate. The install of the camera was slightly complicated by the presence of a rectangular potted box so a larger hole has to be cut into the rear bumper, as the number plate is always fitted to the car I decided to cut the opening behind there and route the cable up behind the plate.

If the camera doesn’t have this box fitted the hole only needs to be slightly larger then the connector on the end of the cable. A dremel makes cutting the opening reasonably quickly with masking tape to mark out the cutlines and protect the surrounding paint.

Step 2 – Remove trim

Most of the steps can [...]]]> Requirements: RNS 510 with firmware version 1100 or greater or RCD 510 (not sure of firmware version requirements for RCD 510 and not all RCD 510′s have the video input on the rear – at this stage only RCD 510′s supplied with cars optioned with the RVC come with the video input).

Most of the steps can be performed in any order (with a few exceptions). The wiring looms can be prepared in advance and details on how to build both the main wiring loom that links the camera to the RNS 510 and the camera in the hatch are being prepared. The hatch loom will include all measurements.

Examples of the camera in operation - Volkswagen Golf Mark VI Rear View Camera (RVC) In Operation.

There is an alternative camera that is a third of the price of the auto opening camera, it hooks up in the same way but can be mounted in the rear bumper (under the lip over the number plate) or inside the rear glass. The part number is 5K0 980 551 (5K0980551)

Installed Photos

(photos are of this installed in a Mark V – Mark VI looks identical except the badge sits lower on the hatch)

The motorised camera only pops up when required, when the handle is operated normally the camera is hidden under a spring loaded flap. The camera can be seen in the second photo with the flap lifted. There is a drain that will safely drain any water that makes it’s way into that compartment out through the bottom of the hatch.

Operating Photos

Reverse mode, reverse mode with the side menu expanded and reverse mode with the screen adjustment selected.

These two photos show the wide angle of the lense, the pole is not visible except through the side window.

The yellow line behind the car is around 40cms from the rear bumper of the car.

Removing the rear trim requires the use of a fair bit of force, the following guide gives a good idea however remove the two panels for replacing the reversing and foglight bulbs as this allows you to see where the clips are. (this is a mark V removal guide but there is little difference between the mark V and Mark VI when removing this trim)

Remove handle

First disconnect the connector, remove the three torx screw and turn the unit clockwise to unlock it for removal.

Loom inside rear hatch
(can be constructed prior)

RVC wiring harness for Mark V including dimensions to allow construction prior to install.

Connectors have been inserted into housings and roughed into place to allow the loom to be constructed. The wires will be cut later once the lengths of the wires are known.

Wiring has been temporarily taped into place, cable has been cut to length, wire bared and twisted after heat shrink placed on cable.

Wires are soldered, heat shrink put into position and the cable is wrapped with webbing adhesive.

Installing the drainage

Install the drainage tube requires widening the hole in the rear of the hatch. The steps are documented on this page  - Install drainage for the Golf Mark VI Rear View Camera (RVC) installed in a Golf Mark VI.

Loom between Rear Badge and RNS 510

(can be constructed prior)

Quad Connector on the end that interfaces to the camera is a 4E0 035 749 B (4E0035759B)

26 Pin connector on the end that interfaces to the RNS 510 is a 7L6 972 726 (7L6972726)

• Pin 12 – Brown
• Pin 13 – Orange
• Pin 24 – Brown (Ground)
• Pin 25 – Blue
• Pin 26 – Green

Cable is a Bacar(R)588-2 / 10712189 – no specs found

The power cable is not long enough for this application and needs to be extended, for consistency and future fault finding the cable should be extended in the middle by inserting a ~1.5 metre lengh of cable of around ~1mm size capable of carrying 5 to 7.5 amps.

On the camera end there should be around 20 cms of power cable going past the end of the connector (the spade connector on the end of this power cable can be removed) and on the RNS 510 end the wrapping should stop at around 80 cms and around 50 cms of power cable should be left free to enable connection to the fuse box.

Extending the power cable

Extending the cable in easy, twist the wires as shown after placing suitably sized heat shrink tubing on the wire, solder and shrink wrap.

Wrapping the power cable and the video cable

Wrapping the two cables together is strongly recommended to protect the cables during their installation,  to make future fault finding easier and make a neater installation that looks OEM.

Installing the loom between the camera and the RNS 510.

Due to the length of the cable it’s best to remove all the trim in one go so the cable can be positioned correctly, the cable runs down behind the RNS 510 and under the drivers steering wheel, down the A pillar, along the door sills, up alongside the seats and over the rear wheel arch, up a opening into the C pillar where the rear windscreen wiper fluid travels, through the conduit into the hatch and to the rear camera. Not all of this is covered in this install guide for example headunit removal and installation.

RNS 510

Remove the RNS 510 and plug the single 26 pin into the RNS 510 as shown, reinstall the RNS 510.

A Pillar

Remove the lower A Pillar trim and route the cables up and across to the rear of the RNS 510.

Door Sills

The door sills don’t need to be removed but only lifted to allow access to run the cable.

Hatch

Volkswagen Golf Rear Lid Trims – Removal and Installation

Remove the trim around the rear window paying particular attention if you have window film, there are three clips on the side which come off by pulling from the lower edge up (down as it’s upside down) towards the top of the glass. Once the three clips have popped you can pop off a few more that run along the top of the window to give you room to work, around 2/3rds of the clips across the top of the window provide enough room to work.

Run the loom with the existing cable by taping it to the two fixing points (white clip in strips) and put the trim back in place.

Power Circuit

Follow the guide Addition of extra circuits to the Volkswagen Golf / Jetta / Passat / EOS / Scirocco / Rabbit fuse box and install a new circuit on the third row (permanent power – check before installation).

Programming Head Unit

Using Vagcom/VCDS the headunit requires programming to tell it of the existence of a RVC.

Connect to controller 37 and in long coding under Byte 3 select Bit 6.

To complete the programming reboot the RNS 510.

The Volkswagen RVC Camera from the Mark VI has a drain hole under the camera in the housing and this does build [...]]]> This guide is just one of the steps to installing a Golf Mark VI RVC into a Golf Mark VI – Installing a Golf Mark VI Rear View Camera (RVC) into a Golf Mark VI.

The Volkswagen RVC Camera from the Mark VI has a drain hole under the camera in the housing and this does build up a substantial amount of water under the right circumstances, I found around a litre of water in the base of the hatch after a downpour and when the hatch was opened in ran down inside the area around the rear window. There are two problems with drainage into the rear hatch and one is that many Golfs have all three drainage holes plugged and painted over and the other is that not all water can drain but instead sits in the seam at the bottom of the hatch until the rear hatch is opened.

photos: the drainage hole at the base of the camera and the exit point under the camera.

I removed one of the drainage plugs in the middle and whilst it stopped the buildup of excess water I had concerns about the rear hatch long term especially when so much water can make it’s way inside the hatch. The Mark VI has a tube that drains to the outside and that’s what I’ve done here.

photos: original drain tube installed and drain plug removed.

Drain Tube

Fitting the tube

After the drain plug has been removed push the tube in.

The tube fits in under the lip on the bottom of the hatch so will require some jiggling around to force it under.

Connect the clear tube to the drain above it.

(note some of the photos above are from a Mark V that has a slightly different setup)
