Volkswagen Touran Sports

Decides to get another car... You guys may wonder why I chose a problematic VW again...



Well, yes... I'm worried still. Gearbox issue like clutch and MU, engine issues like piston cracked... And yes, it's the "famous" 7sp DSG paired with a 170bhp 1.4L twincharged engine. Now why another VW leh?



Well, the answer is simple. Frankly, most cars does gives problem. Some may be minor while some are, oh well, MAJOR! Since I'm pretty familiar with the VW twincharged engine, might as well leverage on this experience and extend to this Touran.



Anyway, cut story short, I'm not sure if VCS brings in the R-Line version of the Touran (especially after VW experienced some issues). Nevertheless, the Touran came with some R badges...



Ok, enough of words... Let the picture tells the remaining thousands words...

Rear Wheel



Headlights (LED DRL with HID)

Hmm, you might have guessed it, I didn't stop just that... so next is... Modification time!  Starts with the interior lights 1st.  The previous owner have replaced most of the interior lights with LED, but I further enhanced it with more lights!

    Hi! Can i know is it direct fit for the brakes caliper and rotor? does it need to custom the bracket?
    and will be good if you're able to share the cost of the caliper and rotor thinking of upgrading mine as i just brought a second hand touran sports too.

    TIA! :)

    Hi, Thanks for dropping by.

    Yes, the R brakes are direct fit, and they are pretty rims friendly too... No need custom brackets.

    Cost wise, depends if u want to get new or used. Believe new ones could be in the region of $2.5-$3k for front and rear set (exclude installation).

      Yes, all external lights (probably less the wing mirror light) needs to be canbus type. Else will throw error code.
