VAG Tuner - SRS 2.0 CR TDI DQ500 4-Motion Caddy Build - Part 5
A month after Inters we were at Donington for VAG Tuner Live 2018.
The only real changes, aside from a working braking system, were the Aero mods. We didn’t think we had tested the chassis enough to start pushing the Engine any further. Despite only having ~230bhp, the van performed brilliantly. The chassis feels great and will easily take another 100+bhp. The Craner Curves were an easy flat all the way from Redgate, through Hollywood down the Old Hairpin
The only thing we found to be an issue was cooling. The van currently has the stock Tiguan Radiator, so we need to swap it back to the Alloy Radiator that was fitted when the van had the BKD Engine, and possibly look to fit an electronic water pump and controller like the CitiGo.
Other than the engine, there is not much else left to do, we had some interior parts trimmed to match the Corbeau seats. The ‘Jacquard’ material was bought direct from Corbeau Seats UK at a very reasonable price and was delivered quickly.
Thanks to Luxe Automotive for the brilliant job and quick turn around. It really has transformed the overall look of the interior.
