The VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI is from schottrigen offroad tours ever made. His toughest test leads him to the endurance test over 100,000 kilometres. At the end, not everything is good - it's rather good that it's over.
Before someone tries the beetle and complaining earlier, all things are better, and the cars have been reliable, we fish out issue 13 / 1974. On page 34: Last time test of a VW Beetle. First car auto tests the motor und sport 1302 over 100,000 kilometres. This he accumulates 36 errors - by pulling wrong brakes on lost exhaust pipes to oil on the engine. Later, VW models survive the endurance test not just harmless - remember Sharan, Golf IV, and T5.Only Golf V and now superseded trade winds run and run and run - ranked one and two of their classes. This increases the expectations of the VW Tiguan, which breaks down in June 2008 on the great journey in the endurance test. He has strong base gasoline engine the doubly charged 150 PS - most popular motor after the 140 PS TDI - in the preferred sports facilities & style. Tools in the value of a base Polo increase the price of 29,100 to 41.686 euros.
While some in the VW proves Tiguan soon avoided: the sunroof creaks, roars the sound system, and because hardly anyone more use with CDs, the changer is superfluous. In contrast to the programmable via steering wheel buttons parking heater, because in the winter, the Tiguan takes very long the how many VW-TSI models in to warm the Interior. The engine also shows rather mild temperament. Although the performance of the distance to improve, but the already empty 1.7 ton VW Tiguan overwhelmed the bristles.
At low speeds, the compressor air into the combustion chamber presses, turbocharger, and the transition only choppy succeeds, but in contrast of to many 1.4 TSI without squealing the magnetic coupling of the compressor takes over at about 3,000 rpm. A phenomenon for which Volkswagen only found a solution in December 2009 in the form of an acoustic TMD.
In the test car, the Turbo integrated in the exhaust manifold causing two unplanned stops: at km 57.059 rips of the manifold. This issue of the Tiguan 1.4 TSI is known in VW, and earlier, there is a solution: A modified seal to prevent cracking and is mounted at about 1,500 cars - on the test car but with to high torque. As a result, When 81.715 km, also the new manifold of VW rips Tiguan. The cost of the damage, 1,273 and brennersee euro, go to warranty. VW decides they occur outside of it, in the case of goodwill.
At an average mileage, i.e. 15,000 km per year, the defects of the manifold to the VW would be occurred Tiguan as all defects far outside the warranty and have causes 4.083 euro repair costs. Because the test car creates its 100,000 km but within two years, the replacement of continuous ends the motor fan at 45.038 km and the defective ignition coil at 58.289 km and the surprisingly complex testing and cleaning the ground points in the engine compartment at km 87.207 are covered with the warranty. The latter is necessary, because all the Windows and the panoramic glass roof open for the unlocking of snow-covered Tiguan due to an electrical failure.
The kick-starting of the VW Tiguan from the 80.000er brand culminates in a Liegenbleiber: the parking brake dissolves no longer in mileage 87.050, only the VW breakdown service can resolve the issue by migration and to connect of the battery. Two handles that take the VW in the last place of class-related lack of index. Otherwise, it would have served four for rank. In contrast to the vulnerability of the defect, the maintenance of the Tiguan remains low.
Manageable 310 euros, the cost of wear parts add up: according to a set to a carriages, brake pads, wiper blades. With the tyres of the General cycling is also carefully about, a set of icluding stops over 45,000 km. To the service: the interval display of VW Tiguan invites every 30,000 km in the workshop, the three visits cost oil including 939 euros. For comparison, the Renault Laguna Grandtour 2.0 T caused in the endurance test 2.188 euro inspection costs, including 500 euro for 27.1 litres of oil. The VW Tiguan is enough a change set of twelve and between the pit stops 2.1 litres.
However, it is 100,000 km fuel consumption of easier hectolitres. Among 7.6 L / 100 km can push any consumption in the test, an average of 11.3 L / 100 km, which is explained by the Rotary-intensive driving, the muscular weak engine imposes his driver. The gasoline engine may meet as the base engine, but the 2.125 euro more expensive two-litre diesel fits better to the VW Tiguan and is due to two litre under-implementation for infrequent drivers.
After 100,000 km with many urgent travel, for which he is a good practice with comfortable seats, comfortable suspension and in the snowy winters with outstanding traction, the Tiguan is because unverkratzt and unverwohnt. Only the circuit is ausgeleiert. To 19.075 euros, the experts estimated its residual value. For this, we wish him luckier than it had the beetle. He died shortly after the 100,000-km mark on a feverish third cylinder.
Many Tiguan qualities may be five workshop stops, so convincing, engine problems, lack of detail, and a total failure is unacceptable. The SUV took the last place of his class in the lack of index and cannot fulfill the allow by VW.
