Well our TDI Tiguan has just clocked 100,000 in 18 months, so I thought I'd share my experiences.

Nothing!

We have not had a single issue. It has performed flawlessly, with much of this driving being done over unsealed corrugated roads, loaded with equipment, compressor fridge and two kids. We are routinely getting 1,000 kms per tank and couldn’t be happier.

We had a custom cargo barrier installed and that's the only modification we have made.

The vehicle has been maintained by a combination of Lennock in Canberra, Denlo Parramatta and more recently “Bugracer”.

Pity my 2011 Golf 90TSI lasted for only four days before being taken back by the dealer for three weeks to replace the DSG…
