Hi all, new Tiguan onwer.

[Shuai]

Recently bought the Tiguan My16 132 tsi 7speed dsg and that is really good car. Actually i like Golf before bought tiguan, but my wife like a suv. So combine our wishes the tiguan is very suitable for us.

I have owned my tiguan for 3 weeks and 1000 km, i found the the the 7 dsg was not good sometimes. the problem is that the dsg always keep the high gear level with a lower speed, due to this the sound from the inside of the car is not comfortable for my ear. its normal or i have to back to dealer to check?

However the 7 dsg is good for the consumption efficiency, and tiguan is a good car for young couple.

I am a Chinese owner, sorry for the language. Thanks a lot.

Hi and welcome!!!

The standard programming of the DSG is to drive in the highest gear (lowest RPM) to be as efficient as possible.

Is this an engine/exhaust note you're hearing? Or tyre noise?

You can move to manual mode and select the lower gear to see if this changes anything.

I would take it back to the dealer if you're not 100%happy. At least let them see if it is "normal".

Thanks a lot Tigger.
I try to move to manual mode and the noise was gone with the higher RPM.
I think the noise come from the engine not the tyre. and i ask the dealer and they said this problem is normal and the reason is from the dsg and space of tiguan.

maybe i am just too sensitive i have to accept the turbo vehicle.
anyway thanks again and very happy to join this family.

Yes sounds like its engine/transmission related. Not sure there is a simple fix - my wife likes to crank up the music :D

Maybe it is good solution for that. is there has some Tigguan meetings or events which like let owners get together?
Thanks for you suggestion. :banana:
