Hi Guys,
We've had the engine light on since January and after going back repeatedly, last month we replaced the oil separator that was blocked. Only recently, we have an a rough idle, EPC light...
I am currently having the same issue. But, my car went into Limp mode and had both EPC and engine light on. It required an intake manifold replacement.

Go to 10:30 min mark if you think you know about engine oil.

Thanks, guys. Very informative read. Next thing for me is to test drive :)
Hi Guys,
I'm thinking of upgrading the old Tiguan Tiptronic to the new one. The new one only available with DSG.
I am a skeptic of the DSG given the 1.4TSI Polo's and A3s (ones that I know of)....
I have a Tiguan 135,000km with a Superchips tune since...forever. Back when it was like 20,000km I think.
Tiptronic 6 speed.
ah sweet as. Surprised by how much dust coming out of it
Sorry for the late reply, only a couple years late. (Got a new car)
But yes we had to replace the locking mechanism under extended warranty (phew).
Looking to get the new Tiguan and hopefully...

Haven't really explored the engine bay before but...
:facepalm: I'm pretty sure something's missing here.
Thanks for the replies! I think you guys jolted my memory a bit and I think this has happened before a couple years back...:mad:
Anybody experiencing their coolant dropping in level too frequently?
My one dropped from Max to Min within 2000km.

Sweet update. Maybe I'll keep the ball rolling haha.

Suspected Tandem pump seal leak ($$$) but turned out to be a replacement ($300 part from VW)
Seal...
Agreed, at the repairs at we speak :banana:
So after taking the car to repairs they reckon the coolant pump is leaking under high pressure and evaporates due to the hot temperatures, which kind of makes sense as I didn't see any coolant...
Let's assume the reservoir was filled to the top mark when the engine was warmish, you reckon it'll drop by this much?

Anyways, I've filled it up again while it's cold. We'll see how it...
Hi guys,
So this morning the coolant level has dropped overnight after topping it up last week at the VW service centre.
@Snail Style: It's a 2009 Tiguan 2.0 TSI 4motion.
Thought I'd like...
I've got a 2009 Tiguan which has the same issue at the moment. Suprisingly this happens when the weather is cold and when there is enough coolant. Gunna send it off to the garage to get it checked...
Is the installation similar to the following link?

Hmm my original battery lasted 3-3.5 years from memory
I cringed when they tried the auto brake in the CX-5 ON the Tigaun :facepalm:
But R-line looking mint!
I've gone through two sets of P6's and I have to admit I was quite satisfied with them although with a bit wear they didn't quite perform well during the rain. Had a couple of incident at a...

Thanks tigger,
Does anybody have any experience with Volkswagen Racing filters? Seems like a pretty solid upgrade however it is about 20 dollars more expensive than a K&N.
I don't have any...
Hey guys,
Have a Superchips tune on a 2009 125 TSI Tiguan (old style automatic)
Just wondering what the limit is for the powertrain?
