KJCherokee

Most 4wd and commercial utes will take hi-flow, most passenger cars (and my Jeep!) have the restrictor in the filler limiting us to the lo-flow nozzles.

I have filled mine using a hi-flow nozzle when there wasn't an alternative, but it is a slow, painful process preventing the diesel from splashing everywhere.

Tiguan's don't take the high flow nozzle. However, I've travelled reasonably extensively round the outback and this has not been a problem. I've only had to resort to using a high flow nozzle with a funnel once - slow - but doable.

Any idea why it does that? They must bulk buy in advance so you'd expect changes to happen far less often. Is it just a ploy to rip off the customer?

Yup

Mate, there's a fix for that - do a search on www.ausjeepoffroad.com.

I'd love to make a joke now about "proper" 4WD v "pretend" 4WD but I don't want to - I'd love a Jeep Wrangler but the honest fact is it wouldn't stand up to the flogging we give our vehicles!

KJCherokee

Yes, I know it can be fixed, but the fix contravenes the ADR and the problem is not worrying enough for me to make the Jeep 'illegal' to fix it.

Mine isn't a Wrangler but a KJ Cherokee (surprise surprise!) - and it certainly isn't designed as a farm workhorse but it is definitely a "proper" 4wd in its offroad capabilities as well as being a good town car and long distance cruiser. We actually weren't far from you just after Christmas, but we went from Adelaide to Mt Gambier via Robe instead of Keith.
