Depends on the driver.. re the clutch
It is likely that it is only running on FWD as the Haldex systems gum up over time. There are filter kits and also the option of replacing the pump. There are a few posts on this in the forum. You...
We have a 2011 103 TDI bought new with 205000. No significant issues aside from air compressor which was replaced by VW at 35K and EGR at 110K parts paid by VW and labour by us. The car has no...
Wow! Impressive. Thank you for sharing,very informative.
The other thing to note is that the Haldex system needs servicing after a while. I have a 2011 Tiguan and at 200K noticed that it was basically FWD all the time after I got wheelspin going out of my...
I’m still here too 2010 TDI sold 2011 and aside from a DPF clean still going strong at 180K
Modern car keys are expensive to replace, so when my second car key for a 2011 TDI Tiguan went missing I was annoyed at the potential cost to replace the key. It hasn't been replaced yet and I...
I have a 2011 TDI at 165K now and wondered if anyone had increased the sound deadening in a diesel TDI and if so what approaches did you use.
At highway speeds it is OK but around town I would...
Staggered by commitment. I want it but where do I get it?
I'm surprised at this. I have a TDI 2011 not a TSI, at 165,000 and have not had a problem in this area. Did have an AC unit go at 30K and was replaced under warranty. At 47K I would think you have a...
My 2011 Tiguan TDI AC failed (compressor I think) at about 40K and was replaced under warranty. Now at 159K and no problems since. It is used all the time and usually maxed out when the wife drives,...
My 2011 Gen 1 Tiguan rear seats slide back and forwards too. Never understood all the hype by car reviewers re boot size with this car as it was quite adequate if you slid the seats forward and you...
Thanks for the replies. That is very useful information. Am crossing my fingers that the 2018 version might have the matrix LED solution.

Hi! Must say I envy you guys with your new toys although I still have a few k's to go on my Gen 1 Tiguan so will be confining my dreams to test drives for a while. I have bi zenons on my TDI and...
The setup looks very good. I live on the Sunshine Coast and have used euro upgrades for similar reasons. They have always been good value. I just wondered how bi zenons cope with long distance...
Michelin XM2 60,000 on the front pair and I replaced them with the same. The back tyres still have another 10,000 in them. But, all highway driving. Quiet, cool running and long lasting tyres....
One thing I did find out after going to Europe and driving toll roads in France is that the card slots are for toll cards. The dealer who sold me the car had no idea and thought you might stick some...
I have a 2011 TDI 103 with the 7 speed gearbox and at 125000 have had no trouble. Perhaps it is driving style but I do long distance drives (200km daily) and usually work the gearbox, ie; I do use...
Neither do I. A piece of mesh to solve the problem in the 1.6 engine and more software fiddling with the 2 litre. They must have laboured long and hard for this PR solution. I think the whole EGR...
Well realistically it is the place to discuss it, as many of us own diesels affected by this, but are not technically literate. I am rather p@#$%^ actually especially after getting a $2000 bill for a...
Have spent the day reading this thread from start to finish, as my 2011 Tiguan TDI with 120,000km, all highway driving to Brisbane and back to the Sunshine Coast showed an Engine Management System...
Another solution for yarrwarri might be air suspension, or is this too expensive or not an option for a small SUV like the Tiguan? (Apologies if this is a silly suggestion but it works well on the...
One thing that has always been an issue with me is the ride in the Tiguan. It is taut, and after 75,000km is still a tight ride, so I guess I should be happy that it is so robust. Don't...
With such low Kms the car is not even run in. I have a 2011 with 75K on it now with leather, bi zenons, off road, comfort pack which was close to 50K new and I will be putting it for sale in March at...
That's serious kms and a great story to read. I have a DSG Diesel Tiguan with 55K after two years all highway driving and have the same experiences of up to 1000km for a tank. Have to decide whether...
