Please update us with what they say.

I've got my car back today.

Issue I had:
- squeaking noise from suspension, when going over speedbumps at low speed.
- rocking the car by hand/bouncing up down stationary car would cause suspension to squeak.

took it to VW service, they re-lubricated suspension bushings, re-tension bolts on the suspension system.
checked all OK.

Squeak noise while driving is now gone.

While stationery however, the car would still squeak if rocked by hand (or bouncing up/down like OP).
Squeak only happens when the handbrake is engaged. No squeak with handbrake off.

VW technician shows me other Tiguan R-Line making similar noise/behaviour while stationery.

Thanks for the update. Glad you had a satisfactory outcome. I'll be taking mine in soon so will post my experience in time.

So got my car back from VW.

My difference is huge. Not only is moaning from the struts gone, but the car is 1000% more stiff now. Potholes absorb like golf did. The DSG is so much quieter and a lot less chattery.. almost quiet and the biggest one I noticed straight away: when the stop start kicks in, the car doesn’t jolt to life anymore, it’s just.. quiet. Very happy with the result on my car. It even feels a bit quicker cause the power feels more direct and firm somehow. They must have tightened the engine mounts as well or something the difference is quite pronounced.

So what did you book it in for...just the squeaky suspension or noisy DSG and stop/start as well?

Just the suspension this time. Would love to speak the tech to see what actually happened.

Must be psychosomatic then rexman. It’s just not possible for a bushing/ball joint to effect so many negative traits.

It’s still good that it feels better though!
