9621 Agnes Crossing, Lake Suzanneview, New Mexico Island 84604-9295.
This crossover appeared in Russia in early 2017. The brand new Tiguan immediately attracted buyers as it has become bigger and more prestigious. And the model differed from
The body of the “German” is resistant to corrosion, but chrome parts quickly lose their shine. Sometimes dealers have changed them under warranty, but this no longer applies to post-warranty ones. Also, the windshield is covered with scratches and chips quite quickly. Another unpleasant “sore”: the places between the front fenders and wheel arches are often clogged with dirt. If you don’t clean it there, rust will form, which the driver notices too late. Recall that many models suffer from such a “disease”. We also note the complaints of drivers about creaking plastic, as well as multimedia “breakdowns” that occur in cold weather.
As for the engines, the Tiguan has a fairly wide range of them. There are gasoline volumes of 1.4 liters (125 and 150 hp) and 2 liters (180 and 220 hp), as well as a 2-liter “diesel” with a return of 150 forces. Gearboxes: 6-speed “mechanics” and “robots” DSG for six and seven gears.
All units have a supercharger and direct fuel injection. That is, you need to refuel only at proven gas stations, so as not to fill in the “bodyagu”.
The base 1.4 liter (125 hp) engine is only combined with a six-speed manual transmission. A pair was put on the front wheel drive version only. But there are very few such cars on the market. Here the turbocharger and the fuel pump are at risk.
A 150 strong “heart” can have an “oil burner”. In addition, consumption of up to 150-200 grams per 1000 km is considered an acceptable standard. There are cases when rings are laid. So before you buy, you need a thorough diagnosis.
There are also cars with defective camshafts, which are indicated by engine vibrations immediately after launch. Dealers replaced the part under warranty, so study the service history of the crossover you like.
The robot transmission is full of mysteries and tricks. Dry clutch units have been the subject of much criticism and suffer from various failures. Later, boxes became more durable. Engineers were constantly refining them, changing the software and generally solving most of the problems. However, the “robot” does not like heavy loads and slipping in the mud. If the previous owner did not spare the Tiguan, it is better to look for another copy. As for the suspension, it is quite reliable. We note only the brake discs, which quickly wear out from the inside.
All in all, the Tiguan will not disappoint, but only if the SUV is treated with care and no expense is spared on maintenance. Do not forget that spare parts for the “German” are expensive.
