    2018 Tiguan with 75k miles on it or 120,000 Kilometres, and it has been great so far. I’ve only had to do new breaks all around, new front cv boot and bushings, regular oil changes and maintenance!

    I've had my North American Rline for 3 years now. I live by gravel roads with harsh winters where the snow can be deep outside a city.
    This Tiguan has been amazing for handling offroad use and highway travel.

    Im on my 3rd tiguan i drive the 2020 1,4tsi version so far at 45k km i have face recently my air con unit has a pipe that dislodged leading to a water leak into my interior took a week to disassemble the car and reassemble it , airbag sensors died during this time as well, wobbly gear knob connector issue so i couldn't engage gears properly. Everything is sorted recently did a DSG tune as well as a stage 1 tune, car runs like a dream now wouldn't have it any other way. The water leakage hasn't hit me yet :) All these issues i feel are wear and tear i used to have a toyota rav and honda type r both brands have their own issues as well. I love my VW wouldn't have it any other way. I have a 5yr warranty so im happy with what i got.

      I have mine 2020 model got it brand new from the dealer. On my second year I got the ECP alarm, SC replaced the flywheel and now im on my 2nd week waiting for the front row wet flooring issue to be fixed, sc said they have ordered the spair part and have to wait another 10 days more, luckily its still under warranty until August 2925. My big worry now is will those major issues wont come back after the warranty, 😢.

    I own a 2018 Tiquan SE AWD with turbo and love it! 2 minor problems replaced/ fixed under warranty- 95,000 km. Interior suites my aesthetic- german simplicity- and great acceleration when needed on our crazy highways( Canada). Previously owned VW rabbit- loved that too but hated dealership servicing at that time! Again great to drive! Like a truck in snow with extra wide radials- no snow tires needed!

    In 2018 bought a Brand new Tiguan Allspace Rline 6 months after we got it had water pouring in at the rear seatbelt turns out to be a pano drain issue. A year later same thing happened seatbelt all mouldy carpet all mouldy had to fight to get VW to eventually buy the car back from us. Not the well made brand from years ago.

    We have a 2014 Tig TDI 140 bhp manual 6 speed bought new and now at 120k kilometres. So far so good, only regular servicing. The OEM tyres were Bridgestone, hard as a rock so swiftly changed for 4 season Vredesteins which are excellent, now on 2nd set. Car regularly returns over 18km per litre so about 50 mpg and is a delight to drive. It has park assist (used about 3 times) and I fitted cruise control otherwise totally standard. Great car.

    I have a mk5 golf 2.0tdi, 178k miles, no engine issues, no gearbox issues, no cooling or emission issues.. New VW cars seem to have all these issues. Sometimes I do wonder if things are going backwards, and if new cars are designed to fail before 100k miles, so we are encouraged to buy electric.
    Btw you missed telling the nice folks at home about the waterpump driven by the cambelt, but has a shroud that goes around the pump fins electronically, to stop flow and meant to speed up getting upto temp, well the shroud gets seized and then you have no/limited flow and cooling of the engine.. you can buy replacement waterpumps without the shroud and I strongly advise it..
    So many bs things added to new cars that aren't really needed and only cause issues down the line, plus more expense.

    I own a 2021 r-line 4 motion and have a love hate with the car. Thankfully had warranty for a month long tech case for the engine/infotainment system. Didn’t pay a dime and aside from basic maintenance has been a great car. Handles like a dream on road and off. Great room for a mid sized SUV and the interior is beautiful. My only gripes are the terrible speaker housing and the lack of engine options from the dealer. The Tiguan R not being sold in the states is a wasted opportunity

    -Oil leaks
    -low oil pressure
    -sunroof leaks

  • @harryberry474
    @harryberry474 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another common problem not just Tiguan's or VW for that matter is Direct Injection which because gas doesn't go through the intake ports any more like with older Port Injection the intake valves (and Intake Ports) get carbon deposits that build-up which has many bad side effects hard starting, less power, and poor fuel milage. Expect to pay dearly to have ports and the back of valves cleaned around every 50kmi...

      I had a 1.4 jetta for 4 years and 140,000km. It would burn enough oil to be low after 10,000km without a change, a quart to top up would get me to the 15,000km service interval, the oil still looked good at both those times. It would never burn oil in the cold, only during the hottest months of summer is when I encountered it ever being low.

    MY 2016 Tiguan is having intermittent electronic power steering failure. When I drive it and the vehicle is cold it will work without a problem. However, if I park and turn the engine off and on again, I get the red steering icon on the dash and the electronic power steering no longer works. I have to leave the vehicle parked for hours before it's drivable with power steering again. The dealership was no help and they wanted to change 12k in parts without a guarantee that it would correct the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The cost to repair these vehicles is prohibitive and expensive should you have even a water pump/transmission oil issue. As to the aforementioned specifics, when such coolant system issues arise in a vehicle with over 1250,000 miles the dealership will repair but the cost is so absurd, should you decide to trade in, that the dealership will trash the whole engine drastically reducing it's trade in value. Stay away from these engines and their Audi counterparts.

    Rolling garbage… It’s shameful how bad the marque has become!
    Never ever even think of buying a VW, you’d be better off with a Trabant

    Open Road VW Manhattan flat out refused to honor the sunroof warranty on my 2019 Alltrack. Leaky car! This is going to court. They're an unbelievably shoddy VW dealer. P.S. I would not buy a VW with a sunroof, as this problem has been known to happen with the Tiguan as well.
