j_jza80 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) I'm going to set up a tiptronic owners group, as I think it would be useful to have a specific group to deal with some of the unique challenges tiptronic owners have with both maintenance and tuning. So I'd like to get a list of members together here, and I'll post the link up later. I'll keep adding to the list as I remember user names, but if you want to come forward that would also be helpful Spunkmeyer Pete Pudsey j_jza80 Frank_Bullit Glanza_Mike Pilchard Wile_e_coyote cered MattP Lee_e Ian_Ian MRX Suprastar_DJ TuneR Conorj Edited March 3, 2016 by j_jza80 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 A 'tiptronic' search in the garage brings up a lot, obviously some will be out of date though, perhaps a pm to all the members listed directing them here may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_GT Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Can you tell by the VIN number if it is tiptronic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm not sure, but I don't want people posting their vin numbers up on a public forum. How come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Can you tell by the VIN number if it is tiptronic? You can tell my the model code on the VIN plate, a tiptronic will be JZA80-ALPVZ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 You can tell the Tipto people, they are surrounded by hundreds of wiring diagrams that are incorrect and racking up huge phone bills trying to find someone who understands how they work They also never drive fast in case it drops into first at 130. They have tried all 569 ways of wiring up HKS gizmos, but see only magic smoke or warning lights Basically, they look stressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
