Hi FastMitch
That's wife already started working on that if VW keep ignoring and don't fix issue we will have no other option than to proceed.
I already colleting information and material evidence about this crooks business VW doing with VW Tiguan2 4wd faulty drivetrain clunking rattle noise .I will see also to contact John Cadogan at Auto expert. I am sure he will know how to investigate and expose this injustices VW doing to new car Tiguan 2 4wd Owners across the world with same issue. He is very familiar with other VW dodgy issues and how they play nasty unfair games to new car Owners when VW try to hide and manipulate .
If VW think that you can take someone's hard earned $50K and sell new lemon car and alter that keep ignoring and threat you as someone who purchased chewing gum worth 50 cents, and that this will be tolerated, hidden than we have huge problem here in Australia Consumer Protection Law!


The thing is I am not here just ordinary one more unlucky new owner of doggy drivetrain 4wd Tiguan 2 with factory issue . Since discovered this issue I keep all this very well documented and keep digging and researching , included all emails since first complain about issue to crook dealer and VW included pictures /videos with problem .



In recent email conversation with VW service department regarding this issue they was initially replaying, but when I sent last email showing this video with rattle clunking noise , asking them in just simple short answer if is this what they saw in video is '' normal VW characteristic of VW drive train'' to answer with Yes or No . They immediately stop replying on email conversation but instead asking dealer to call me back! This all show when you have clear evidence of problem they using manipulation and tricks so you cant use against them .


But as I said show this video to any mechanic and they will tell you is not normal but fault! When I try again to call and ask why they stopped email conversation and why they dont reply on simple question? They try making all sort excuse to avoid single question of proof , but instead advice me to bring car again to any other VW Dealer service if I am not happy with the Dealer . But I know what will happen. Any VW official Dealer service have same instructions from VW Australia to tell you ''that is normal characteristic and nothing wrong'' Same as they told all other owners with same issues across world.


This is all same very well know Ping Pong tactic VW use to trick you in start to give up and live with lemon car as is normal. When I asked over phone will they cover cost of independent Mechanic diagnose, NO NO please don't go we will not cover or accept they report , just choice any of ''our VW official Dealer Services'' they will care about you . Yeh right! Same as they care about me since beginning of issues in last year. They didn't even detected Factory transfer bevel gear box leak which i discovered myself but car was there 2x times before! When you showing them rattle noise they pulling head on side pretending is normal nothing wrong, every car have this ...


There is no Man on planet or in VW which can convince me this is normal, as car rattle and clonking same as 20 tone MAC truck not modern SUV which suppose to be car of the year!





User Justice from UK tiguan2 forum post above is just one more unlucky Tiguan 2 4wd Owner which having similar issue since car new . He also doing great job there on North side of Planet , writing and pointing problems to other on forums and he fully understand what is this nightmare and experience when receiving faulty new car and dealing with VW crook service department .Instead VW issue recall and fixing and resolving affected cars they manipulate and hide things .


But every day will be more and more evidence here and other forums that is something wrong with 4motion Drive on tiguan 2 and hope VW will have to pay for this and not just fixing cars but also paying for people wasted time fighting for rights and suffering dealing with new faulty car instead enjoying new car.


Have you ever wonder why USA VW users have received Tiguan 2 with brand new 8speed automatic transmission instead risky problematic DSG ? The simple reason they are scare of any more problems and recall and Money lose. In USA you cant joke with costumers as they are protected!

You are right about the USA.

Tiguan's there are sold with 8 SP Auto instead of the flaky DSG for a reason.

VW just paid out $7.4 Billion dollars (US) from the Diesel-gate scandal, the last thing they need in the USA is a scandal on failures from the DSG.

Watch the VW graveyard: YouTube

There are a lot of complaints about the 8 speed ZF in the US cars as well.

Yes Fastmitch that's what I was thinking , uncle Sam hit Germans very heavy for playing Monkey games for USA VW car owners and one more heavy scandal and penalty could be catastrophic for VW.

Hi Ozsko
I was wondering whole time what's going one with Made in Mexico 8 speed Auto for USA Canada Tiguan 2 FWD models If they are also affected with same issue . As I didn't yet find any USA Owners complaining about this issue.
I know Sale started latest in USA /Canada for Tiguan 2 models and market is maybe not so popular yet and limited quantity sold as in EU and ROW . Can you please post here link with USA Owners complains same rattle/clunking so I can follow.
IF is that true they have also this exact issue than this is could be 100% problem in VW Tiguan 4motion '70kg most compact and lightest in class 4wd drivetrain system'' and DSG or Automatic transmission could not be related , which is on someway positive as DSG transmission is biggest job and most complex in repair and cost. As I said before I will take in account also that this issue could be very well connected to Engine and transmission mount factory not enough tested and suitable for Tiguan 4 motion on Tiguan 2 and this can also case this heavy Rattle clunking noise. Would not even be surprise if VW forget some mounts screws are missing or are not torqued enough . Will see maybe tomorrow to remove complete air intake plastics duct and Battery with mount holder to inspect transmission mount on left side which is most suspicious holding heavy DSG and Bevel box , on the bottom mount I already checked and didn't find any lose or missing, According to Elsawin schematic even under transmission mount there should be one more hidden screws for transmission down mount support , which will be not easy to check looking Elsa but maybe just picture is bit confusing .

Not the same specific issue with the ZF, but other issues which surprises me considering the number of different cars it is fitted to unless it isn't the same transmission. Best of luck with it because I doubt you will get anywhere, venting on a forum might make us all feel better when we have a problem but it will have zero impact with VW.

Another owner here, Tiguan mk2 162 with transmission issues since day one. Downshifts from 4th to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd often are accompanied by a loud audible bang and palpable jolt from the transmission. Gear lash is also terrible. The local dealer has been good and the mechatronics and transmission were apparently changed... but the exact same issue persists. It is so bad that we have decided to change the car. VW have denied any further responsibility for the problem saying it is a characteristic. In every other way the Tig is a perfect car, practical, good looking, fantastic features but it has been an extremely frustrating ownership experience.

My next step is an independent engineer report and fair trading. I think the case will be strong as I have driven 2 other Tiguan 162 cars and the gearshifts were silent and smooth.

I was just reading trough this post, I’m picking my Tiguan 162 R-line this coming week, I was under impression that DQ500 was the best there is in DSG world, are similar problems detected in Audi RS models or is it only Tiguan specific issue

Sezmo that's bad to hear the DSG transmission is giving you issues

Are you able to provide a video of the loud bang and gear lash ?

Hi

I have a 2018 162tsi, all these cars worldwide have this problem. I have tested 4 in the same age group and all have this. Mine has been back 3 times and now they are saying its a warped flywheel.. its a cop out and complete disaster. The car has 10,000klm on it and it started from new. I am going to sell my car and never purchase a VW again. This is my 3rd Tiguan, never again. We should be entitled to a full refund under Consumer law which i will pursue if noise occurs after an apparent flywheel replacement.. what a joke..good luck.. VW are a disgrace to the motor industry.

All these cars worldwide have this problem? Mine doesn’t. I haven’t heard of any others either. Sounds like trolling to me.
