Vw is replacing my tiguan 2017 after 2 year for free

[Botchie]

Hi
I have a strange post and wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else
I bought my new tig in 2017 and few months in gearbox has failed, it took a long time to have it fixed by vw and at a time i wrote and asked for a replacement car but soon after they replaced the gearbox and that was it
Now 2 years later I get a call advising they should have replaced my car then but are doing it now???

has anyone ever had something similar happen?

I am also interested in this , as having also issues with DSG and Gear bevel box and some other issues connected with drivetrain since car I received new .
Asked numerous time VW Head office for replacement Gearbox and bevel box or car to be replaced as I had enough mocking around with issue for last 2 years .VW don't want to change even gearbox with new ,very arrogant and ignorant just buying time and waiting I give up and VW warranty to expire . Now booked again for service , if they don't replace gearbox and gear bevel box this time I will take case with all documented evidence to court and ask for only new car replacement only .

I am also interested in this, as you guys saw on in the Tiguan Australia FB page, I've unlocked a new CEL lol... I had a gearbox malfunction come up.

But after letting the car cool down, it's now gone.

There is a definate defect within the DQ500 on Tiguan which VW are not disclosing. Only now that many are out in the field is this problem becoming more evident.

My wife and I have been legally fighting VW in the UK since August 2017 and continue to do so, VW are really trying to avoid this DSG issue coming out as it will result in a recall and £millions in compensation being paid out.

My wifes Tiguan R-Line has not been driven for over 2 years whilst our dispute with VW ensues......the legal fight continues!!

Had my gearbox replaced.. car is so much smoother and nicer to drive with respect to power and gear changes.

It's still omitting some real loud creaking and groaning when putting load on the car diagnally like when coming out or into a driveway.

Feels like sound is coming from the struts or maybe the CVs but CVs are apparently ok.

Mine was a 17 as well
