Good afternoon
After making the mistake of selling my 300bhp mk5 gti 2 years ago for a new tiguan r line for the wife, I'm now in a position to buy another one. Iv found a nice dsg but doesn't have the paddles. What sort of price are the parts as can fit it all myself.
Cheers Jason

Id imagine you'd need the oem paddles and a wiring loom as well as someone who knows what there doing in Vag com to code the paddles in.
Think it would be easier, cheaper to just buy a motor with the paddles as OEM unless you don't mind a bi of a retrofitting
-
Yeah iv got vag com so the fitting and coding is OK, I'm just trying to see if it's just a wheel with paddles and coding or do I require control modules and wiring.

Might be wrong but when you say paddles do you mean the attachment ones you can fit to thegear change switches with +/- on back of steering wheel. Only reason I ask is I presumed all DSG's came with the steering wheel gear selectors but later models had actual paddle extension attached

No, later models still have the same small paddles.
You need to retrofit a steering wheel with paddles, might also need to replace your steering wheel module and code it.
If you want bigger paddles, you glue extension paddles like I did. :wink:

Think it will require a wheel as has the basic wheel fitted, so looking around 400-500 part price depend I suppose. Cheers chaps
