    So where do Tiguans come from?

    I bought my Audi S3 and it was assembled in Hungary.
    I bought my Fiat 500 and it came from Poland.
    I can see the Audi Q3 comes from Spain, but where does an Australian delivered VW Tiguan actually get assembled?
    Germany, Mexico, India or Malaysia?

    Brilliant - been a while since I've had a product brand come from the parent country.

    Just about everything we get here comes from somewhere in Europe these days.

    Amarok is Argentina, though.

    We used to get a lot of Golfs and Jettas from South Africa. Beetle came from Mexico, as did a lot of Jettas, and I think... the Golf wagon.

    From what I understand, the 11th no. from the left in your VIN no. shows the manufacturing plant. In my case our golf is a letter U which is the first letter in the name of the city in South Africa. Our Tiguan is a letter W for Wolfsburg. Our T4 is a letter H for Hannover.
    Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

    When a Touareg and a Golf love each other very much, they get married and make a Tiguan.
    The storks deliver them on boats from Germany.

    The long wheelbase 'Tiguan Allspace' arriving in Oz next year will likely be made in Mexico.
    The current versions we are all lusting after all come from Wolfsburg, Germany.

    I did hear a comment, on a youtube review, that Tigs would also be manufactured in India, presumably for the Asian market. That is certainly not happening at the moment.

    We won't be getting any of those. We don't even get the China-built cars.
