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 .
