So as a bit of a happy update (for me at least). VW have just replaced my water pump and engine start/stop button under warranty. Vehicle age 5 1/2 years.

Me too. Was just told I need a water pump. Just 24000k and 6 years old (MY18 Tiguan).
My mechanic has quoted $2000 - I feel like I’m getting rorted on that too.
Haha! I think the ‘convenience consumers’ gauge is graduated in poofteenths. I’ll let you know how much I save.
Have you seen the fuel prices lately? :-D
I’ve just re-enabled Stop/Start and am considering reinstating the ‘convenience consumers’ and ‘think blue trainer’. Lol
I wonder if the Haldex/AWD improvements are software or hardware.
Has anybody tried one of these?
It seems to intercept the signals on the Auto Stop/Start switch and retains the last setting after ignition is turned off.

Flashback from the 90s! I bet they huff and puff like a steam train too.
'Fully sick bro' or 'fully sacked bro' spring to mind :D
I had this on a Ford Focus - solution was to wrap a bit of black insulation tape around the pin... just enough to pack it so it wouldn't rattle and still be easily removable. Black so it was barely...
Good luck! Do let us know how you get on - many of us are in that 3 year range now and just in/out of warranty. Murphy's Law; that is the time any kind of design flaw or common fault rears it's ugly...
Agree. Definitely not normal, I’m sorry to say.
I hope you have some luck with the vendor or VW....You’ll love your Tiggy once you’ve got that sorted!
How long is your driveway? You could extrapolate a quarter mile for ****s and giggles ;-)

I regularly pull out of a steep driveway into traffic. I found the car would bog down in wet weather, this seems to reduce that. I might get one wheel spinning a few quick revolutions as I crest the...
Welcome back Dutch77!!
Firstly, that sort of failure is not wear and tear - it should not do that in this timeframe.
Regardless of the dealer/VW's stated warranty period, you should reject the item as being unacceptable...
Yep, I have.
It gives a little bit of tyre slip if you take off quickly in a situation where you might normally lose traction - in the wet for example.
Not enough slip to really to light up the...
Yep worth checking out. Muffled grating from engine bay could be used to describe it. Only in certain low rev range, and sometimes when lifting off throttle. Not noticeable at idle.

I’m guessing we’ll see them here eventually, but wonder if they’ll be down-tuned for ‘hot climate’...
Item 1 sounds like the vibration I had from a loose fuel line clips. Happened from new and took 2 visits to the dealership to fix under warranty.
Just hit the park pilot button in the centre console. It toggles it on and off.
I actually switch mine on manually in 'D' when I park in my garage - it's narrow and I have to avoid shelving close...
Was driving around town in torrential rain earlier this year and started to think 'this is getting too much, I'm glad I have a decent bit of tech to help me out or I'm gonna have to slow down'... and...
I used the wireless charger in a rented Skoda in Europe and noticed that when two phones were lying in the charging cubby, the MIB III display popped up a warning that there was more than one phone...
Just turn the stereo up!
But seriously, I’ve slapped a few plastic panels to get rid of a couple of similar (speed/rpm) rattles.
One was in the sunglasses box in headliner - drive me nuts. I...
Thanks! That’s local for me so I’ll go see them for a small repair and get quote for the lot as well.
Similar story for me, 7 month wait for R-Line was too long. My lease is up in 8 months and...
Looks great! Glad you didn’t get the diesel version with the crummy tail pipe.
Mind if I ask how much and where you got It done?
