  • EU new cars and Euronorm

    Hi, stand close to my first order of an Eu-new car. Should become a T-cross. I have now dealt with the topic and selected 3 dealers who offer the car I want. So I still have to decide where to order it. Now I have noticed that only one of these dealers correctly specifies the Euronorm (E6AE). The other two enter E6D in the configurator. As far as I read, one can only allow E6D for new vehicles until the end of August… Eige This must be a mistake in the description, since the Euronorm applies to the EU. It is a new T-cross (Facelift). That can’t really be the case that it can only be admitted until the end of August… I still find it strange…. What do you think?

  • NAVI- update, taigo on VW- page not to be found- alternative possible?

    Good morning in the round after the dealer has rejected an update for my Navi (“we can’t do that”) I have again occupied myself with the download page of VW. As before the taigo is not listed here – there are several other vehicles with the entertainment system (“discover media”, as it is installed in my taigo r-line. Can I go here safely to another vehicle (e.g. t-cross) with the system to load and play the data via USB stick? Thanks in advance and nice weekend from East Friesland

  • Charge the battery

    Moin, since our Crossi is a pure city/purchase car, it often happens after the winter, that I have the “feel” that it only starts willingly again. So the engine turns net as powerful as usual. Before I charge the battery, let’s take a look at the manual…there is:”Go to VW to charge”…. Regardless of that I don’t think that, as described in the manual, a classic acid battery is installed, but probably at least ne AGM, I know the batteries with a BMS Someone said, when charging plus to the battery, mass to the starting point of the body. I have a 10A CETEC charger. Someone else a useful hint?

  • Offer for a T-cross so OK? Price difference VW to dealer.

    Good afternoon, just put together a new T-cross. T-Cross Life 1.0 l TSI OPF 81 kW (110 hp) 7-speed DSG, Limestone Grey Metallic Configured on the VW page for : 29.900,-€ Have sent this configuration by clicking on the button “Request for quotation” to my local VW dealer. His offer: 28,000,- Vehicle price – 2200,- Promotional premium of the manufacturer + 490,- Transfer + 149,- Approval + 18,- Letter fee ———————————— 26. 457,- house price What surprises me is the vehicle price difference. On the VW page 29.900,- €, at the dealer 1,900,- € less, i.e. 28.000,- €. The dealer has listed in his offer all the equipment characteristics, which I had selected during the configuration. Or are the 1,900 € the discount from the dealer and the 2200 € the discount from the manufacturer? A fair price? Delivery time: so 3 months, without guarantee P.S. With Auto Roll there are daily registrations (10km), which for 2,000 € more equipment b esitzen, at a price of 24,400,-€. Disadvantage: EU import and allowed since November. Unfortunately all with Lane Assist, a no-go for me.

  • Which oil to refill – Operating instructions not clear

    Moin people. After several studies of the operating instructions and efforts of google I still do not know which oil I can refill with the T-Cross 1.0 petrol tanker. My purchase documents also do not provide any more information! The operating instructions only specify the oil standard: VW 504 00 VW 507 00 VW 508 00 Which oil variety do I have to buy? 05W30? The “oil finder” on castrol gives me: Castrol EDGE Professional LL IV FE 0W-20 Or is it even dependent on the oil change interval? Thank you for your support.

  • T-Cross Discover Media determines shark or 20cm antenna?

    Hello, when I looked at some cars on the farm at the dealer’s house, I noticed the T-Cross. Nice part and there I wanted to see what the internet has for offers. Now I always find some with such a long outdoor antenna, but I don’t want to, but a shark antenna installed by factory. Nix from Amazon, if necessary it should be taken back into payment in a few years. Otherwise I would have found a lot at Google, that was then a Since I see here and there that time this long antenna is installed and with another one a shark antenna is installed, I ask myself: What is this? Where is this determined, whether shark antenna or not? I also know only “Composition Media”, “Discover Media” and “Discover Pro” as infotainment. But now I have heard in a review that there is also a “Discover Media Navigation”. Is that true? or babbling? Thank you very much

  • Purchase advice Leasing: Volkswagen Taigo 1.0 TSI OPF 85 kW R-Line incl. W&I or CITROוN C4 MAX

    Hello together, in advance, I really have no idea of cars and therefore urgently need help. My current car does not make it long and the TÜV ends June 2024. Now I need a car and would like to lease it. I have come across two offers that are both suitable for me:TAIGOCitroen C4 Max Both cost about 180€ per month. With the Citroen there is no maintenance & inspection. I have a daughter and my husband drives a VW T-Roc R-Line. Which of the two Ange Where could the insurance be more expensive? Which car offers a better price/performance? Which car will be more expensive in maintenance? Which will consume more fuel? I will only use the car for city traffic and rarely drive longer distances. I thank you in advance for your opinions. LG Lulu

  • Has the 1.5 been improved?

    Hi there, I’m really excited about our new Taigo R-Line 1.5l DSG. It exceeds my expectations in many points. What I find very striking is the considerably better response of the engine. For years I’ve driven various Golf 7 and also Golf 8 with the 1.5er 150 hp model and DSG and was annoyed by the significantly time-delayed reaction time (also known as “DSG memory science”). Especially in connection with the start/stop automatic it often took quite a long time. This is now completely different with the Taigo! After a very short time it simply starts to react. From my point of view a completely different driving experience and very striking. At some point (two years ago?) the 1.5 was revised. Was the topic of DSG memory customer “optimized” here perhaps?

  • T-Cross: Too little PS?

    Hi together, since I think about buying a T-cross instead of a T-roc because of the “good” price, would be interesting to me: Is the T-cross with 116ps at approx. 1.2 tons to “weak” / has too little power? I was advised to grab the larger 150ps variant T-ROC, “so that I come from the spot”. I drive to 95% only city, longer rides on the highway are rather a rarity, Offroad anyway not. Because a relatively good equipment (List price VW configurator) with the T-cross would cost significantly less than with the T-ROC, my focus is rather on the T-cross. I also like the increased sitting position in the T-cross (compared to the T-Roc). What do you think?

  • Menu “Open and Close” is not available

    How can you call the menu “Open and Close” at the T-Cross, if the message “The function is not available at the moment” appears continuously? Thus, the function for opening the windows can not be set for my vehicle. In the encodings the corresponding parameter (ENG148616-ENG149201-ZV Comfort (window lifter)-Funk_Comfort_oeffnen,aktiv ,7) is already set right from the factory. So far all attempts with user change, privacy settings, Zweitschl Unfortunately, even my VW workshop could not help.
